Precise Latency Calculation For Audio-Video Synchronization, Jason Chihhao Lee, Peggy Pei Chi Kao, Hung-Jen Yu, Hung Ren Liang, James Chen Chao Huang, Jabez Hsu Chung, Hao-Wei Lee, Eric Huang, Lin Chi Lin

Defensive Publications Series

Synchronization between the audio and video tracks in recording equipment is usually achieved using an audio-first approach. In this approach, the timestamp of a target video frame is compared to the timestamp of the sound emitted during that frame, timestamps being counted in units of video frames. Videos have a relatively low sampling rate, e.g., a 60 frame-per-sec video has frames separated by 16.67 milliseconds. Thus, the measurement of audio-video asynchrony is imprecise.

This disclosure describes video-first techniques for audio-video synchronization. A target video frame is captured, and its timestamp is mapped to the audio track. The audio track has …

Rapid Detection Of Network Threats By Analyzing Network Logs, Assaf Namer, Tracy Jiang

Defensive Publications Series

Currently, there is no easy way to view and inspect network data surrounding a suspicious network event. Typically, analysts correlate findings across multiple services to capture network data indicative of security threats which is a time-consuming task that can delay response. This disclosure describes techniques that enable rapid response to network threats by mirror-capturing a real-time window of network traffic; by using in-line or out-of-band analysis to detect network events; and, once an event is detected, by generating a packet-capture (pcap) file from the mirrored data to enable correlating between network events and the pcap file. Visibility into the captured …

Quick Multi Device App Installation Using A Prediction Engine, D Shin

Defensive Publications Series

When users have multiple devices, one of the devices can act as a host device where an app is downloaded. Upon pairing with a target device, the app is transferred to the target device from the host device. This enables a user to use their preferred device to search for and obtain apps, while also providing the apps on the user’s other devices. However, this protocol is impeded by the wait to establish connectivity between the devices and by the time needed for app transfer. This disclosure describes techniques that, with user permission, use predictive signals to generate a dictionary …
