Smart electric meters are utility meters that estimate the energy consumption and gauge the consumption patterns at an advanced level. These meters are often used in the residential segment.These are next-generation meters that provide precise readings of electricity consumption and are generally installed in households or in enterprises to maintain a detailed statistics of energy consumption.

An automotive dynamic steering system is an advanced system that alters or modifies the characteristics of steering system to adapt to the present vehicle speed and onroad conditions. The advanced steering response or control system aids in better handling by providing adequate feedback of the road and adjusting itself as per the road conditions. The system helps the driver to have a better and improved control over the vehicle moving at different speeds and therefore, makes the drivability more interactive in nature.

A carbon ceramic brake rotor is made of ceramic, which is an inorganic solid material. It is very hard and yet light, stable, and water resistant. Carbon brake rotors are one of the superior high-performance braking systems that are commercially available in the market. These high-performance brake rotors help to overcome the drawbacks of iron brake rotors. They offer an optimum braking performance in sports, super sports, and heavy-duty vehicles. In addition to their functional benefits, they aid in the reduction in the overall weight of the vehicle, thereby leading to the improved engine performance and better fuel efficiency.

The earliest recorded history of toys dates to the early 19th century, when peddlers and street traders were engaged in selling low-cost toys for children. These were usually carved from wood, and primarily produced by rural craftsmen or by bonded laborers working in small backstreet factories. These factories, which were mostly located in and around London and its suburbs, were notorious for being akin to sweatshops and encouraging child labor.

The suspension system in a vehicle makes a vehicle ride comfortable and helps keep the vehicle in control. The suspension system essentially maximizes the friction between the tires and the road to provide steering stability and the required road grip. The main functionality of a suspension system is to offer driving comfort for passengers by absorbing vibrations and protection of the chassis components and body of the vehicle. The conventional suspension system is made up of several components like the chassis, which holds the body of the vehicle. The coil springs provide support to the vehicle weight and tend to absorb vibrations and noise when the vehicle is in contact with the road, thus reducing the shocks from affecting the passengers. The coil springs, struts, leaf springs and dampers are some of the suspension components which are predominantly used in all vehicles.

The global arthroscopy devices market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.35% during the forecast period. There is an increased demand for arthroscopy devices in individuals with orthopedic, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2014, more than 72 million people in the US had disc degeneration. The market is also driven by the growing older population in the US, Europe, and Japan. In developed markets such as the US and Germany, the availability of reimbursements for orthopedic procedures is likely to boost the market growth. Also, the market is driven by a growing number of orthopedic disorders such as osteoporosis and arthritis.

Baby car seats are baby-convenient products that are mainly used during traveling in cars. They have foam padding, fabric covers, and a harness, and are used to protect a baby’s head from jerking forward during sudden braking or accidents. These products are available in different varieties depending on the weight and age of the babies. The products are not supposed to be used for more than six years and required to be periodically examined by manufacturers. Higher concern regarding child safety and the growing preference for convenience while traveling is primarily driving the market.

Semiconductor packaging and assembly is carried out to provide extra protection to wafers or substrates. The components are first assembled layer on a layer using wires that can conduct electricity. The unpackaged chip is then put into a casing made up of materials, such as metal, plastic, glass, or ceramic, and containing one or more semiconductor electronic components.

The automotive industry is driven by the changing consumer needs, due to the increasing purchasing power in the economy and government regulations on vehicular emissions. The stringent regulations on emission due to the rising pollution levels force automakers to develop smart and energy-efficient cars. To increase output efficiency and limit vehicular emissions without affecting the engine size, engine output, and the total cost of manufacturing, vehicles are equipped with powerful and compact engines that require cheap but advance components like dual VVTs. Dual VVT increases the efficiency of the engine by varying the lift of variable valves during each intake and exhaust valves simultaneously to adjust the amount of air in the air-fuel mixture going in and coming out of the combustion chamber. The dual system limits vehicular emissions by increasing the efficiency of combustion.

The auto industry is increasingly being driven by changing consumer needs to accommodate convergence of connectivity and electrification.
