Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage media associated with a solution provisioning system (“SPS”) are disclosed herein. The SPS may provide solutions for problems experienced by user computing systems (“UCSes”). The SPS may receive system state data (“SSD”) from a system state retriever (“SSR”) of the UCS, such as after an indication from a user that a problem is occurring or after the SSR automatically identifies problems. The SPS may include a solution determiner (“SD”) to determine solutions for problems. The SD may identify common actions which are performed by other users when facing similar problems. Solutions may include predicted solutions, such as when the problem experienced by the UCS is a new problem, and/or confirmed solutions, such as when the problem has been experienced and a solution has been determined before. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Apparatus and method to facilitate motion-related diagnosis or monitoring are disclosed herein. First sensor based data and second sensor based data associated with a user for a first and second time period may be received, from a first device. When the first and second sensor based data are determined to be associated with the first and second motion patterns, identifying the first and second sensor based data to be first and second motions by the user. In response to receiving, from a second device, a motion-related query associated with the user, searching among the first motion and the second motion to determine a query match. And providing the query match comprising data associated with the first motion or the second motion.

The analytic system includes a sensor device to monitor power utilized by the machine, and to collect load data for the machine during startup. The analytic system further includes an analytic engine to determine a start time for the machine based at least in part on the load data for the machine received from the sensor device, and to communicate the determined start time to the machine. Start times for multiple machines may be selected wherein a maximum allowable current is not exceeded during the startup of the machines based at least in part on startup signatures for the machines generated from the load data.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and/or methods may provide for cooperative assembly of a universal sensor with one or more other universal sensors into a general-purpose sensor cluster deployable in a dynamically configurable arrangement. The universal sensor may capture data corresponding to one or more characteristics in a deployment environment encountered by the universal sensor. The universal sensor may also provide the data corresponding to at least one of the characteristics in the deployment environment encountered by the universal sensor.
