  • Patent number: 11200556
    Abstract: A mobile device, such as a cellular phone, can retrieve log data from a secured terminal, such as an automated teller machine. The mobile device can download data including a log from a secured terminal through a connection established therebetween, such as through a wired port on the secured terminal. The mobile device can determine a data representation of a geographic location of the secured terminal determined from at least one of a positioning service and a positioning device, such as from a global positioning system module of the mobile device. The mobile device can automatically upload data including the log and the geographic location to at least one server via a network, such as a wireless 3G network. The at least one server can select the closest secured terminal to the first geographic location, based on a database of known, stored locations of secured terminals.

  • Publication number: 20210348464
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for breaking cement within an annulus of a wellbore. In one implementation, an annulus cement breaking system includes a cement compression tool operable to be disposed within an inner bore of a casing having a longitudinal length. The casing is disposed within a wellbore formed in a subterranean formation having a cement layer disposed within an annulus formed between the casing and the subterranean formation. One or more actuation elements are coupled with the cement compression tool, and the one or more actuation elements are operable to engage the inner bore. The one or more actuation elements are transitionable between an unactuated state and an actuated stated. The actuated state operable to engage the inner bore of the casing, thereby radially expanding the casing and compressing the cement layer.

  • Publication number: 20210192459
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards generating and managing schedules. In at least one of the various embodiments, these schedules may be configured to schedule team members, rotating which team member is active (“on-call”). In at least one of the various embodiments, these may be employed to determine which resource is responsible to respond and/or resolve incidents that may be reported and/or detected. In at least one of the various embodiments, if a team member is determined to be the on-call or responsible team member, the notification engine may determine the methods for notify the responsible of the incidents. Schedules previews may be updated in real-time as the schedule is edited.
