Chip-scale packaging (CSP) emerged in the 1990s. By 1998, wafer-level CSPs emerged as the most preferred form of chip packaging solutions due to their low cost benefits in applications, ranging from application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and microprocessors to electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). WLP is one of the key trending technologies used for CSP and is gaining popularity among fabless and foundry companies globally. The major benefit of WLP is that wafer fabrication and testing is done on the wafer itself, reducing the cost of WLP with increasing wafer size and decreasing die size.

Commercial blast chillers use blast chilling process of cooling food to a low temperature in a short period of time to eliminate the chances of bacterial proliferation. The ideal temperature for bacteria to multiply is between 114°F and 309°C. Cooked foods, when cooled from 158°F to 37°F in a short span of time (90 minutes), are made safe for storage and later consumption. This resolves concerns affecting food quality such as temperature, time, and humidity.

Induction cooktops, also known as induction hobs, are more versatile and allow quick and controlled heating when compared with traditional gas cooktops. Induction cooktops utilize electrical induction technology. The appliance uses a magnetic field to move the molecules in utensils, thereby generating heat. While an induction hob heats the cookware, the glass top and the air surrounding the vessel do not get heated up. This feature makes an induction cooktop a safer and more energy-efficient option than a gas cooktop.

Agricultural combine harvesters are machines that combine the three separate tasks of harvesting – reaping, threshing, and winnowing of a cereal crop – in a single process. Some of the crops that can be harvested with the help of a combine harvester include wheat, corn (maize), barley, rye, oats, sunflower, and soybeans.

Switchgears are segmented as per the arc-quenching medium that is used within the equipment. Various types of arc-quenching medium include air, SF6 gas, and oil. With the emergence of hybrid switchgear technology in the late 1990s, the equipment incorporated two different technologies in its operation. One was the use of gas for arc quenching purpose, while air-insulation technology was adopted for bus bars to be connected to other equipment present in a high-voltage sub-station. The target is to maximize the advantages of these two existing technologies and enhance the overall operation and performance of the equipment and the connected components within the grid network.
