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.

Abstract: A cutting bit assembly for attachment to a tool holder of a milling-type machine includes a cutting tip, a generally cylindrical shank extending from the cutting tip and comprising a rotation-limiting surface, and a spring clip surrounding a body of the shank. The spring clip includes a protrusion configured to interact with the rotation-limiting surface of the shank to limit rotation of the shank relative to the spring clip. The spring clip includes a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration, and in both the contracted configuration and the expanded configuration the protrusion interacts with the rotation-limiting surface.

Abstract: A cutting bit assembly for attachment to a tool holder of a milling-type machine, including a cutting tip, a generally cylindrical shank extending from the cutting tip, a spring clip surrounding a body of the shank and including a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration, and a washer having an installed configuration in which the washer is disposed on a shoulder of the shank and an uninstalled configuration in which the washer surrounds the spring clip and retains the spring clip in the contracted configuration. At least one of a distal edge of the spring clip or a proximal edge of a bore of the washer comprises a bevel or radius.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for charging a stylus of an information handling system includes: receiving, by a stylus docking slot of a keyboard of the information handling system, the stylus, the keyboard communicably coupled to the information handling system; causing, by a plurality of keyboard magnets of the keyboard, a partial alignment of the stylus in relation to the stylus docking slot, the plurality of keyboard magnets attracting a plurality of stylus magnets of the stylus; causing, by an alignment nub of the keyboard, an alignment of one or more spring contacts of the stylus in relation to one or more charging contacts of the keyboard, the alignment nub configured to removably couple to a beveled recess of the stylus; and providing, by the one or more charging contacts, power to an energy storage unit of the stylus via the one or more spring contacts.

Abstract: A method of servicing construction equipment comprising forming an association of construction equipment manufacturers and providing a service agent of the association. The service agent refers a service need to a service dealer. The service agent is not an agent of the service dealer to whom the service need is referred.
