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.

Air filter is an essential component of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system as it removes the particulate contaminants from the supplied air, which would be harmful to the occupants of the vehicle. It also forms an essential component of air moving devices, such as fan coils, terminal units, and air handlers, as it removes the dirt that causes the blockage of the coil and imbalance in the fan wheels.

An audio driver IC is an electronic component that strengthens low-power or inaudible electronic audio signals to a level that is strong enough for powering loudspeakers or headphones. It is the final modulation stage of any typical audio signal before it is sent to loudspeakers and speaker enclosures. Audio ICs have wide applications in sectors the healthcare, industrial, automotive, telecommunication, and consumer electronics sectors. The audio ICs are of different type, including type A, B, AB, D, G, and H.
