Abstract: A stored energy discharge apparatus for discharging electrical charge from a first component prior to being installed into a second component. The apparatus includes at least one mounting component adapted to a desired voltage potential used in the second component, and at least one discharge component adapted to receive the first component and discharge electrical charge from the first component to the second component through the at least one mounting component prior to the first component being installed in the second component.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and a system where a processor(s), in a computing environment comprised of multiple containers comprising modules, includes a processor(s) continuously obtaining pressure data from pressure sensors embedded in electrostatic dissipative (ESD) footwear. The processor(s) determines that the obtained pressure data indicates a pressure level of a pre-determined threshold and the given threshold is sustained for a pre-determined interval of time in some of the items. The processor(s) accesses one or more voltage sensors embedded in each item of the items and obtains voltage data by utilizing an ESD floor that the items are in contact with as a ground reference. The processor(s) validates functionality of some of the items and functionality of the ESD floor, based on monitoring the voltage data from the one or more voltage sensors.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure related to automated static control. A set of static sensor data may be obtained from two or more static sensors. The set of static sensor data may be analyzed to determine whether a static condition exists. In response to a determination that a static condition exists, a set of mobile static unit data may be collected from one or more mobile static units. The set of mobile static unit data may be analyzed to select a mobile static unit of the one or more mobile static units. An action may be transmitted to the selected mobile static unit, and the selected mobile static unit may be deployed to mitigate the static condition.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented-method of operating a computing device. The computer-implemented method includes using a local touch-activated sensor of the computing device to receive an input signal, wherein the input signal has been generated at a remote touch-activated sensor based on capacitive coupling between the remote touch-activated sensor and a human, passed to the human using the capacitive coupling between the remote touch-activated sensor and the human, passed through the human, and transmitted from the human to the local touch-activated sensor of the computing device using a capacitive coupling between the human and the local touch-activated sensor. Functionality of the computing device is limited based at least in part on analyzing, using the computing device, at least one characteristic of the input signal.
