Systems and methods for describing a composition of an article of manufacture are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving article composition data for an article of manufacture that identifies a set of parts of the article, a stated composition for each part of the set of parts, and a physical quantity of the stated composition. The method further includes classifying the stated composition of each part of the set of parts into a normalized composition that includes a set of normalized chemicals. The method further includes outputting an aggregated physical quantity of each normalized chemical for the set of parts of the article. The method can include classifying a normalized composition of each part into a material category within a hierarchical taxonomy based on the set of normalized chemicals of that normalized composition and outputting an aggregated physical quantity of each material category for the parts.

Part composition classification for articles of manufacture

A method for automated device disassembly includes, at a computerized demanufacturing system, receiving a target electronic device for disassembly. Using a set of one or more sensors of the computerized demanufacturing system, a set of sensor data is collected that quantifies one or more physical properties of the target electronic device. Based at least in part on the set of sensor data, correspondences are identified between one or more effectors of the computerized demanufacturing system and one or more interactable elements of the target electronic device. The interactable elements are automatically manipulated using the one or more effectors to at least partially disassemble the target electronic device.

A method includes acts for establishing a subscription for an entity. The method includes receiving, at a cloud service provider, a request from an entity to establish a subscription. The request includes credentials for the entity that are not proper credentials for an organization associated with the entity that the entity should use to access services for the organization. The method further includes performing a corrective action based on detecting one or more factors to determine that the entity is associated with the organization. The method further includes providing services based on the corrective action.
