  • Patent number: 12578773
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are scientific instrument utilization tracking systems, as well as related methods, computing devices, and computer-readable media. For example, in some embodiments, a method of tracking utilization of a scientific instrument may include: receiving, at a computing system, first data from a power sensor associated with the scientific instrument, wherein the power sensor monitors power consumption by the scientific instrument; generating, by the computing system based on the first data, multiple power consumption ranges associated with corresponding operational states of the scientific instrument; receiving, at the computing system, second data from the power sensor associated with the scientific instrument; and outputting, by the computing system, indications of the operational states over time of the scientific instrument based on the second data and the power consumption ranges.
