A signal generator is an electronic device used to generate waveform and electronic signals. The electronic signals are either repeating or non-repeating signals, in any of the two domains, namely analog and digital, depending on the requirements and applications for which they are used. These are used to repair electronic devices as well as for troubleshooting, designing, and testing. The signal generators are classified according to their parameters, designs, and dimensions.

Transparent barrier film is a packaging film made up of different types of polymers, based on the application. The global food industry is the major contributor to the growth of the global transparent barrier packaging films market, and contributes around 57.36% share to the market. In the food industry, these packaging films are used to provide both moisture and vapor-resistance packaging for food products. The high barrier property of transparent film provides extended shelf-life for food. Processed food items, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products are the prominent items that are packed using transparent barrier films. Food manufacturers use transparent barrier films packaging as a tool to increase the sales of the food product by projecting the freshness of the food items to the customers.

Servers are the backbone of a data center operation and are used primarily for the transfer of data. A server operation depends on the reliability and durability of the hardware. A typical server comprises dual-power supplies, RAID disk system, and error-correcting code (ECC) memory, which are tested for operations by vendors. Modern servers can be hot-swapped in the case of any service requirement. Missioncritical servers are designed and manufactured with fault tolerance and have low failure rates for maximum data center uptime. Servers can be powered up, configured, and rebooted remotely using server management software. Servers are also virtualized in modern data centers to increase the utilization of computing resources for multiple operations.

Computing has been witnessing huge evolution since long. Computers are getting smarter and faster along with the growing trend of miniaturization. Wearables are a form of miniaturized computing devices that can be comfortably worn or carried to automate or augment the daily work and personal activities.
