20130308448 | PACKET CAPTURE DEEP PACKET INSPECTION SENSOR - Systems and processes for filtering network traffic. In one example, an event based flow record aging process may be used to identify flow records to be removed from memory to provide space for newer flow records. In this example, a new incoming network packet may trigger a determination of the flow record to be removed from memory based on the hardware time stamps of the flow records stored in memory. Determining aging flow records in this way may advantageously reduce the amount of computer resources required to manage flow record aging when compared to traditional techniques that require keeping a timer and periodically performing a cleanup process to check the freshness date of each flow record. | 11-21-2013 |

20090097823 | VARIABLE RATE VIDEO PLAYBACK WITH SYNCHRONIZED AUDIO - The invention enables the apparent display rate of an audiovisual display to be varied. The invention can modify an original set of audio data in accordance with a target display rate, then modify a related original set of video data to conform to the modifications made to the audio data set, such that the modified audio and video data sets are synchronized. When the modified audio and video data sets so produced are used to generate an audiovisual display, the audiovisual display has an apparent display rate that approximates the target display rate. The target display rate can be faster or slower than a normal display rate at which an audiovisual display system generates an audiovisual display from the original sets of audio and video data. The target display rate can be established solely by a user instruction, by analysis of the audiovisual data, or by modification of a user-specified nominal target display rate based upon analysis of the audiovisual data. Preferably, the method for modifying the original audio data set is one that produces a modified audio data set that can be used to generate an audio display having little or no distortion. | 04-16-2009 |
