A control apparatus (2000) computes a waiting time index value for each of a plurality of gates (20) for entering an area (10). The control apparatus (2000) detects, from among the plurality of gates (20), a first gate (20) and a second gate (20) of which relation between the waiting time index values satisfies a first criterion. Herein, the waiting time index value of the first gate (20) is greater than the waiting time index value of the second gate (20). The control apparatus (2000) causes a terminal (30) associated with the first gate (20) to output priority use information, which allows prioritized use of the second gate (20).

A system and method for tracking the duration of patient time in a dentist chair may be provided. The system may include at least one sensor, at least one microcontroller, and at least one remote server. The sensor and microcontroller arrangement may detect the presence of a patient in the chair and may record the duration of the patient's presence and upload the data to the server. The system and method may further account for temporary patient departures from the chair by creating a time threshold, under which a visit duration calculation will not be reset. The system and method may record a total duration of a patient's time in the dentist chair.

An information processing apparatus includes: a processor configured to acquire position information of a communication device; and a storage configured to store first map information and second map information. The processor is further configured to, in a case in which the processor acquires position information a predetermined number of times of at least two or more, in a first partial area of plurality of first partial areas, determine that the communication device exists in the first partial area. The processor is further configured to, in a case in which the processor acquires position information a predetermined number of times of at least two or more, in a second partial area of plurality of second partial areas, determine that the communication device exists in the second partial area.

A system for reducing occupational dermatitis at a work place the system comprising at a facility: one or more dispensers configured to dispense a pre-work hand product; one or more dispensers configured to dispense a washing or cleansing product; one or more dispensers configured to dispense a conditioning product; one or more dispensers configured to dispense a post-work product; a dispenser usage monitoring system; each of said plurality of dispensers in communication with the dispenser usage compliance system and configured to provide a signal to the dispenser usage monitoring system, indicative of usage of the dispenser, wherein the dispenser usage monitoring system is configured to determine usage of the plurality of the dispensers against a skin care regime.

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for determining a time-length of an action are provided. For example, a first data packet, of a plurality of data packets, may be received from a beacon. The first data packet may be associated with a first event and may comprise a first counter value. A second data packet, of the plurality of data packets, may be received from the beacon. The second data packet may be associated with a second event and may comprise a second counter value. A time-length of an action may be determined based upon an evaluation of the first counter value and the second counter value. Compliance with a protocol may be determined by comparing the time-length of the action with a time-limit associated with the protocol. A report may be generated based upon the time-length of the action and the compliance with the protocol.

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.
