Abstract: A remote technical support system includes an edge device that operates as a highly secured conduit for a technician to view, access, and control a target device via a secure protocol over a connection medium between the edge device and the target device. The edge device's architecture allows it to selectively present numerous peripheral devices to the target device. The architectural components of the edge device can be controlled by a technician through a secure connection with a trusted server which allows authorized to access the edge device. The edge device also relays technician commands to and obtains diagnostic information from the target device and communicates feedback to the technician over the secure connection. The commands may be relayed to the target via the one or more selectively connected USB peripherals.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for using an audible signal to monitor conditions at a downhole location in a well through use of a well cable containing a fiber optic, which may be either a slickline or a wireline fiber-optic cable, and providing an audible signal which varies in response to the monitored condition. The condition monitored can be strain in the fiber optic well cable, which can be sensed in one or more locations in the fiber optic well cable, in many examples through use of a sensor such as a Bragg grating associated with or formed in an optical fiber within the well cable. In some examples, a temperature measurement may be used to compensate for temperature effects impacting the strain measurement.

Abstract: In in-process inspection or calibration of a print bed or 3D printed part with a 3D printer, toolpaths defining printing material shells for deposition by a 3D printer are compared to surface profile scans from a range scanner to identify differences between the print bed, instructed deposition and the measured result, permitting pausing or alteration of the toolpaths or printing process.

Abstract: A secure, remote support platform allows secure, remote device support with an edge device (101) and a trusted intermediary server resource (“trusted server”). The trusted server (113) is an endpoint for secure connections with a support application used by a remote technician and with the edge device. The secure connections carry messages with inputs, data requests, and feedback. Messages between the trusted server and support edge device are secured in a manner that allows each endpoint to validate the messages. The remote technician controls the edge device to assesses a target device connected to the edge device. The edge device presents emulated peripheral devices to the target device while capturing the target device desktop with a camera or presents remotely controlled peripherals and returns screen captures or updates of the desktop from the target device.
