  • Publication number: 20260086526
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions that cause processing circuitry to receive, from a server, a driver associated with a target device communicatively coupled to an operational technology (OT) network wherein the driver enables an endpoint management agent running on the processing circuitry to perform operational monitoring of the target device, execute the driver, receive, from the server, a command to perform the operational monitoring of the target device via the driver, perform, via the driver, the operational monitoring of the target device in accordance with the command, and transmit, to the server, data collected during the operational monitoring of the target device.

  • Publication number: 20260086888
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions that cause processing circuitry to receive, from a server, a driver associated with a target device communicatively coupled to an operational technology (OT) network wherein the driver enables an endpoint management agent running on the processing circuitry to retrieve and stream log data for the target device, execute the driver, receive, from the server, a command to stream the log data for the target device via the driver, access, via the driver, the log data stored on the target device based on the command, establish, via the driver, a proxy system log data stream configured to transmit the log data to the server based on the command, and transmit to the server via the proxy system log data stream, the log data based on the command.

  • Publication number: 20250170681
    Abstract: Power tool methods and systems are provided for aligning a power tool to implement an angled cut in a workpiece. The power tool includes a first distance sensor and a second distance sensor. The power tool measures a first distance to the workpiece with the first distance sensor and a second distance to the workpiece with the second distance sensor. The power tool calculates an angle between the power tool and the workpiece based on the first and second distances, and indicates the angle via an angle output indicator of the power tool. The power tool may measure an angle between the power tool and the workpiece using a proximate edge and a distal edge of the workpiece, and indicate whether the power tool maintains a correct angle as it traverses a cut through the workpiece from the proximate edge to the distal edge.
