Engine detection
Various implementations described herein are directed to a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, may cause the computer to detect electrical noise corresponding to one or more engines starting or running. The computer may record a first timestamp corresponding to the engines starting or running. The computer may detect that the engines have stopped. The computer may record a second timestamp corresponding to the engines stopping. The computer may also use the first and second timestamps to determine engine runtimes.
Reducing display noise in an electronic device
A sensing device can be included in a display of an electronic device. Various techniques can be used to reduce display noise in the signals output from the sensing device. The techniques include the use of a filtering layer in a display stack, the use of a non-uniform sampling scheme, averaging together noise signal samples sampled over multiple display frames, and inverting a phase of the sampling of the noise signal over multiple display frames.

NETWORKED ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE MEASUREMENT
A first electrostatic discharge measurement is received from a first sensor. The first sensor utilizes a wireless network to send the first measurement from a first stage of the assembly line of electronic components susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage.
