Hydraulic pumps are devices that are used to generate energy in different machines. The pump takes in a fluid and uses the force of the fluid to produce energy that is used to power machines while the fluid is released. In this manner, the mechanical energy of the fluid is converted to hydrostatic energy. The mechanical action of the pump creates a vacuum and lets the atmospheric pressure to force the liquid from the reservoir into the duct. After this pressure is created inside the system, the fluid is forced out of the system.

The global industrial safety sensors market is growing, owing to the increase in the awareness of industrial safety and maintain safety in work environment. Also, strict government safety policies followed by all plants have helped the market to grow. Industrial safety sensors comprise three products such as industrial safety curtains, industrial safety laser scanners, and industrial safety edges. These systems detect human presence and obstacles within the field/perimeter created to safeguard the work environment. These devices are configurable based on the applications of end users.

Infertility is a biological condition which refers to the inability of a person to reproduce. IVF is the most common and effective procedure helpful in assisting pregnancy. IVF is one of the most popular fertility techniques used to treat infertility and related problems in both genders. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1.5-2.0 million cycles of IVF procedures are performed every year across the world, and about 55% of these procedures are performed in EMEA. The global IVF devices market is expected to rise at a rapid pace during the forecast period.

Indoor location-based services (LBS) work on Wi-Fi and real-time location system (RTLS) technology. These services are increasingly being used in the healthcare industry for real-time information. LBS has the potential to influence the healthcare industry significantly. In hospitals, real-time information helps in indoor navigation, location-based messaging, asset management, and location analytics. Location tracking technology can be of great use in efficiently dealing with key areas of hospital management, from patient safety to handling regulatory issues, as well as reducing operational cost and improving patient safety.

The heavy-duty vehicle market is very diverse and fragmented. China continues to be the most important market for heavy commercial vehicles. China's truck industry has scrapping subsidy. As a result, the heavy-duty market has pushed for the renewal of its older truck fleet. The western regions of China have been witnessing development. Therefore, the demand for goods to be transported long distances has increased. The OEMs in China face the challenge of complying with new regulatory requirements. A key criterion for buyers is advanced features at low prices. In markets such as China and India, price sensitivity is an important factor. This provides little opportunity for premium vehicles with advanced technologies.

The factor that is boosting the Internet Protocol (IP) traffic volumes is the proliferation of Internet in business and residential environments. The increasing use of Internet and the extensive number of connected devices are contributing to the rise in the IP traffic globally.

Luggage and related luggage products are increasingly moving away from having only utilitarian value to functioning as fashion accessories. Luggage products have been gaining consumer interest with the growing popularity of outdoor sports and adventure travel, apart from a rise in the global travel industry. The market is expected to witness growing demand for durable luggage products that are also compact and lightweight. To cater to this demand, manufacturers are using materials like nylon, polyester, polycarbonates, faux leather, and microfibers.

Optical coatings are a single layer or multiple thin layers of various materials used on optical devices and components. The optical component, which is being coated, is called as a substrate. Optical coatings are deposited in high vacuum by using the resistive heat, ion-assisted deposition, or electro-beam deposition technologies. Optical coating materials consist of various metals such as aluminum, gold, silver, chromium, nickel-chromium; semiconductors such as silicon and germanium; and dielectrics such as sulfides, fluorides, and oxides.

M2M involves intelligent machines, hardware, communication network, middleware, and applications. M2M is a combination of ICT and connected devices that allow the devices to interact over a wireless or wired network without any human intervention. These devices are a collection of sensors, smart switches, meters, network gateways, and controllers that are connected to collect and transfer information. Among the different types of M2M connectivity, most commonly used are RFID, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, satellite, and the GSM network.

A membrane acts as a selective barrier that separates and concentrates the feed stream, allowing the constituents to pass while impurities are retained on the membrane. The constituents that pass through the membrane are termed as permeates, and those that are retained are known as concentrates or retentates. The selection of membranes for specified applications depends on the pore size of the membrane. Ultrafiltration, microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and nanofiltration are some of the membrane filtration technologies. Other membrane technologies such as membrane contractors, electrodialysis, and pervaporation are also used; however, their market share is low.
