Abstract: Logging downhole exposes components of logging tools, for example, antennas to abrasive and erosive operating conditions. A protective sleeve may disposed about an antenna assembly to protect the antenna assembly for the downhole operating conditions. To permit transmission and receipt of signals by and too the antenna assembly, slots are formed or disposed in the protective sleeve. A non-conductive composite insert is formed in the slots to protect the internal components of the protective sleeve, for example, the antenna assembly, from the operation conditions. A non-conductive composite inner liner is formed in an annulus of the protective sleeve and adheres to the protective sleeve and the non-conductive composite insert. The non-conductive component insert and inner liner allow signals to be transmitted and received by the antenna assembly so that logging operations can be completed without undue delay and the expense of repairing or replacing worn or damaged components.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing pre-boot services in an Information Handling System (IHS) having Operating System (OS)-specific hardware and/or firmware components. In some embodiments, an IHS may include an Embedded Controller (EC), a first Operating System (OS)-specific chip coupled to the EC, and a second OS-specific chip coupled to the EC, where the EC is configured to cause the IHS to: in a first mode of operation, perform a first boot procedure using the first OS-specific chip; and in a second mode of operation, perform a second boot procedure using the second OS-specific chip.

Abstract: A heuristic learning algorithm uses an ALS to determine display brightness settings based on a stored response curve for display brightness for a user. When the user overrides the response curve value for display brightness at a given ALS output, the display brightness setting based on the user input is used to modify the response curve for the ALS output to lesser extent than the user input. Over time the response curve will approach desired user settings for each value of the ALS output.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a magnetometer mounting apparatus and system may reduce noise and magnetic flux interference by mounting the magnetometer inside a cavity in a collar that fits around a tool insert. The cavity may be sealed with a hatch cover/outsert. Another embodiment mounts a plurality of magnetometers around the periphery of a mounting ring that is coupled to the insert. Yet another embodiment mounts the magnetometers in a gap sub in the BHA. Still another embodiment longitudinally mounts the magnetometers on the insert such that a diagonal distance between two magnetometers is the greatest possible on the insert.

Abstract: Systems described herein apply visual computer-generated elements into real-world images with an appearance of depth by using information available via conventional mobile devices. The systems receive a reference image and reference image data collected contemporaneously with the reference image. The reference image data includes a geo-location, a direction heading, and a tilt. The systems identify one or more features within the reference image and receive a user's selection of a foreground feature from the one or more features. The systems receive a virtual object definition that includes an object type, a size, and an overlay position of the virtual object relative to the foreground feature. The virtual object is provided in the virtual layer appearing behind the foreground feature. The systems store, in a memory, the reference image data associated with the virtual object definition.

Abstract: Systems described herein allow for placement and presentation of virtual objects using mobile devices with a single camera lens. A device receives, from a first mobile device, a target image captured from a camera and target image data collected contemporaneously with the target image. The target image data includes a geographic location, a direction heading, and a tilt. The device receives, from the first mobile device, a first virtual object definition that includes an object type, a size, and a mobile device orientation for presenting a first virtual object within a video feed. The device generates a simplified model of the target image, and stores the first virtual object definition associated with the target image data and the simplified model of the target image. The device uploads the first virtual object definition and the target image data, so the first virtual object is discoverable by a second mobile device.

Abstract: A mobile device stores a target image and target image data collected contemporaneously with the target image. The mobile device receives a reference position indication that corresponds to the target image data and receives a video feed from a camera while the mobile device is in the reference position. The mobile device detects a match between a first image from the video feed and the target image, unlocks an augmented reality space, and instructs presentation of a virtual object within the augmented reality space. The mobile device receives sensor data and a continuing video feed from the camera, compares a second image from the continuing video feed with the first image, and identify common features in the first and second images. The mobile device detects a location change based on the sensor data and changes in the common features between the first and second images.

Abstract: A method for automatic correction of nonvolatile memory in information handling systems includes storing ECC data for a compressed BIOS firmware. The ECC data are used to identify and correct error bits in the compressed BIOS firmware. The discovered error bits are recorded in the nonvolatile memory and accessed for a faster correction method for the compressed BIOS firmware than using the ECC data on subsequent attempts.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing one or more shared templates to a tenant or to a team associated with a tenant. A shared template is a pre-defined data structure that includes one or more elements related to a particular task. The template can assist a team in communicating about the task, working on the task, tracking the progress of the task, and/or completing the task. The shared template(s) can be stored on a global repository or on a tenant repository. In aspects, multiple users (e.g., tenants) can access the shared template(s) stored on the global repository while the members of a team associated with the tenant may access the shared template(s) on the tenant repository. A shared template may be provided to a tenant or to a team based on authentication credentials associated with the tenant or the team.

Abstract: An information handling system and method performs Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) interception and pre-processing of data associated with block input/output (I/O) commands targeting encrypted storage devices. A UEFI interceptor block (IB) I/O driver intercepts each block I/O command targeting block addresses on a storage device and identifies whether any of the target block addresses is encrypted. In response to identifying an encrypted block address among the target block addresses, the UEFI IB I/O driver forwards data associated with the encrypted block address to an encryption-decryption module to perform one of an encryption and a decryption of the data. Final handling of the block I/O command is performed using a block I/O driver chained to the UEFI IB I/O driver. Data associated with I/O commands targeting encrypted block addresses is first processed by the encryption-decryption module before final handling of the I/O command is performed by the block I/O driver.
