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: According to one embodiment, a sheet processing system includes estimation means which, based on bundle information relating to a number of sheets by denomination of a plurality of the sheets included in a bundle, and weight information of the sheets by denomination, estimates a weight of the bundle, to output estimated weight information, measurement means for measuring a weight of the bundle, to output measured weight information; comparison means for comparing the estimated weight information and the measured weight information, and control means for controlling a processing of the bundle, based on a comparison result of the estimated weight information and the measured weight information.

Abstract: An interconnecting apparatus (10) is disclosed for use in testing electronic devices. The apparatus (10) includes a housing portion (12, 14) provided with a plurality of apertures extending between oppositely facing first and second surfaces of the housing portion (12, 14) and a plurality of contact elements (16), each contact element (16) being disposed in an aperture. Each contact element (16) is a helical spring formed of electrically conductive material, a first end portion of each spring being located adjacent the first surface of the housing portion (12, 14) and a second opposite end portion of each spring being located adjacent the second surface of the housing portion (12, 14). Each spring is configured so that the diameter of the spring decreases in a direction away from the first end portion.
