    Abstract: Embodiments relate to preventing access of removed users to messages shared in a group chat with an end-to-end encryption. An aspect includes, responsive to creation of a group having members for communicating using encryption keys, receiving a request to remove a given member of the members from the group, the given member being associated with a computer system, at least one message of the group being accessible to the given member. An aspect includes identifying the encryption keys associated with the given member and causing a deletion on the computer system of the encryption keys associated with the given member in response to the request. An aspect includes confirming the deletion of the encryption keys on the computer system associated with the given member. The deletion of the encryption keys on the computer system prevents access of the computer system to at least one message of the group.

    Abstract: A voice signal in a headphone is detected. The voice signal includes a person speaking an audible command. Based on detecting the voice signal a first biometric signature of a user is retrieved. The first biometric signature is compared to one or more biometric features of the person. Based on comparing the first biometric signature to the one or more biometric features an authentication of the user is determined. An authentication action is performed based on the detected voice signal. The authentication action is performed in response to verifying the authentication.

    Abstract: An operator uses a handheld fastening tool to fasten a surface-mount technology printed-circuit board (PCB) to an adjacent object by installing a fastener at a target location on the PCB. The operator wears augmented-reality (AR) eyewear equipped with image-recognition technology. The system identifies the distance between the target location and the nearest electronic component mounted to the PCB. An accelerometer integrated into the fastening tool continuously monitors the inclination of the tool and the frequency of operator hand movements while holding the tool. The distance, inclination, and movement measurements are used to derive a composite score indicating a likelihood that the current fastening task will be completed successfully without damage. The eyewear represents the score to the operator as a color-coded AR object. The measurements, scores, and color coding are continuously updated to give the operator real-time feedback about the operator's current likelihood of success.

    Abstract: A method for preventing unauthorized access of privileged operations of a first device. The method provides for one or more processors to detect an initiating action of a privileged operation of a first device. The one or more processors receive a current location of the first device. The one or more processors determine whether a pre-determined location matches the current location of the first device. In response to determining the current location of the first device fails to match the predetermined location, the one or more processors determine whether a pre-determined connection condition exists between the first device and an authorized device, and in response to determining an absence of the pre-determined connection condition between the first device and the authorized device, the one or more processors perform a first action disabling the privileged operation of the first device.
