Abstract: An opt-in from at least one user of a plurality of users associated with at least one tool of a plurality of tools is received. An authentication associated with a first opted-in user of the plurality of users associated with an access of a first tool of the plurality of tools is determined. A set of credentials required to operate the first tool associated with the first opted-in user is verified. A request to an Internet of things (IoT) receiver device is transmitted. A response from an IoT transmitter device is received. In response to determining that the first user is utilizing required equipment to operate the first tool, power to the first tool is supplied.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving moisture sensor data from at least one moisture sensor located in a device. The at least one moisture sensor is configured to detect moisture on a surface of the device. The method also comprises determining a likelihood of the device slipping from a grip of a user based on the received moisture sensor data; and altering a surface profile of a surface panel of the device based on the determined likelihood of the device slipping from the grip of the user.

Abstract: A set of user pools can be determined based on location data associated with each device in an audio/video (A/V) conference. A key active user can be determined for each user pool of the set of user pools based on valid audio signals received from each device within each user pool. A determination can be made whether there is feedback within each user pool. Responsive to determining feedback in at least one user pool, speakers of devices within the at least one user pool can be disconnected except for the key active user device within each respective user pool.
