Abstract: A method is provided for modifying a via from a PCB including a plurality of subassemblies comprising a plurality of layers. The method may include drilling a via of the PCB to form a through-hole to remove an unwanted material in the via of the PCB. The method may also include depositing a carbon-based material over an inner wall of the through-hole. The method may further include back drilling a first portion of the through-hole by a drill from the top of the PCB to form a first blind via. The method may also include selectively plating a conductive material over the carbon-based material to form a plated through-hole.

Abstract: A well advisor system and console for monitoring and managing well drilling and production operations. The system may be accessed through one or more workstations, or other computing devices, which may be located at a well site or remotely. The system is in communication with and receives input from various sensors. It collects real-time sensor data sampled during operations at the well site. The system processes the data, and provides nearly instantaneous numerical and visual feedback through a variety of graphical user interfaces (“GUIs”), which are presented in the form of an operation-specific console. The input and data provides information related to geologic uncertainty concerning a well being drilled, with a focus on the safety of the drilling operation.

Abstract: An equipment shipping, storage, and maintenance support system that includes a cover assembly including a variety of features and a mobile maintenance platform (MMP) coupled to the cover assembly via a plurality of latches. The MMP includes retractable wheel assemblies which enable lateral movement on a support surface in proximity to an end item with an equipment item mounted thereon (e.g., an aircraft with an aircraft radar). The MMP includes a vertical lift system that attaches or detaches from the equipment item to raise or lower the equipment item during maintenance activities. The cover can be installed on the MMP to provide protection against external environment in a storage or transit/shipping modes. The MMP also includes removable jacks which enable raising or lower of the MMP either during maintenance to reorient the equipment item for maintenance or storage purposes to include mitigate of undesirable environmental impacts from storage.
