NFC is a wireless communication technology that enables data transfer between devices within a distance of 4-10 cm. One of the most popular NFC-enabled devices is the smartphone, which can communicate with another NFC-enabled device at a proximity of 4 cm. The technology also does not require internet or telecom networks for communication, and hence it is unlikely to bear a subscription cost and possibility of a malfunction due to poor or loss of connectivity. The most popular NFC-based connectivity application is the transaction through contactless payment cards (debit and credit cards that have NFC chips embedded in them).

Noise detection and monitoring products include noise dosimeters, noise monitors,and sound meters, which are used to measure and monitor excessive noise to control the noise levels. Noise is one of the most common occupational hazards, and exposure to high noise level can create psychological stress, reduce productivity, and cause hearing disabilities. Noise monitoring consists of real-time data transmission and dynamic noise maps, which store and transmit the noise levels of each location under observation to a central location.

Mask inspection or photomask inspection is an operation of checking the accuracy of fabricated photomasks that are used in semiconductor device fabrication.In the semiconductor industry, photomask inspection is a series of electronic data that lays the foundation for lithography steps of the semiconductor device fabrication process. Photomask inspection is a method used before lithography to inspect photomasks for defects during the production of semiconductor wafers and is also used for R&D.

A Single Board Computer (SBC) is a complete computer that is built on a single circuit board with memory, input and output devices, processors, and other peripheral functions of the computer. SBC can be used for developmental purposes, educational institutes, as well as industrial, automation, and military applications. Home computers and portable computers are also integrated into a single printed circuit board. SBCs do not rely on the expansion of slots for peripheral functions. Simple SBCs use static random-access memory (RAM) and low-cost 8 or 16 bit processors.

A group of techniques used to fabricate a model of a part or the entire assembly is known as rapid prototyping. 3D computer-aided design data are used for prototyping.SLA, SLS, LOM, FDM, SGC, and Ink Jet printing techniques are various rapid prototyping technologies that are commercially available. SLA technique is the most widely used, which was developed by 3D Systems. 3D printers were first used in rapid prototyping, which aided in visual presentation models. Prototypes are manufactured to obtain approval from engineers before the ultimate production process becomes operational. At present, many engineering and design organizations use 3D printers for rapid prototyping.

Radiofrequency ablation devices are used to treat medical conditions such as cancer tumors with the help of imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT),magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound by using minimally invasive (MI) techniques. This involves the use of high-frequency electromagnetic waves to generate heat energy (alternating current). Radiofrequency ablation is used by surgeons to destroy cancerous cells, and remove or trim obstructive tissues and dead nerves. The process is carried out by inserting a special needle through the skin onto the tumor. The procedure targets specific tissue/nerve with radiofrequency electrical energy, heating the tumor through an active exposed electrode tip. The heat generated induces cellular death as a result of irreversible protein denaturation. This technology has wide applications in various medical fields such as cardiac rhythm, oncology, cerebral tumors, gynecology, renal denervation for hypertension, pain management, and cosmetology.
