Military aerial refueling (also called air-to-air refueling) is the process of pumping aviation fuel from a military tanker to another military air platform during the flight. This process allows the receiving aircraft to remain airborne for a longer duration, supplementing the mission effectiveness. Owing to the growing investments in developing long-range aircraft, the importance of maintaining sturdy fleets of aerial refueling tankers has revived its importance among the defense ministries of many countries across the globe.

Until recently, discussion on feminine matters was taboo in the social community because of which, women suffered from a lack of knowledge on the subject. However, the situation has changed significantly over the years, and women have become aware about their health, including feminine hygiene issues. With the evolving perceptions of women, vendors are trying to fulfill the demand for proper feminine hygiene by providing high-quality products. Currently, sanitary pads are the most commonly-used products for feminine hygiene by women. In the feminine hygiene market, sanitary napkins are followed by menstrual cups and tampons.

Meat and poultry processing equipment is used by manufacturers of meat and poultry products for processing meat using techniques such as blending, homogenization, pasteurization, and filling. Processing of food helps in removal of toxins and preservation. Processed food offers advantages such as enhanced taste, low risk of contamination, enhanced shelf life, and a high degree of portability.

The global massage equipment market was valued at $18.32 billion in 2016, and it is likely to grow at a CAGR of 5.88% to reach $24.38 billion by 2021. The market was dominated by the Americas in 2016, which accounted for a revenue share of 45.42%. The demand for handheld massagers has increased in the past three years because of the rise in awareness among the global population about professional and premium massagers. Professional massagers are known for providing quality results to individuals and are comparatively expensive. Massagers are primarily prevalent in the market based on their massage mechanisms such as natural, organic, acupressure, shiatsu, ultrasonic, hypoallergic, homeopathic, and aromatherapy. Inexpensive electric massagers attract much of the end-users in developing countries. Countries like the US and the UK are the major revenue contributors to the global massage equipment market.

VSAT terminals are communication terminals that allow transmitting and receiving text, audio, and video data using satellite broadband Internet services. These terminals operate as geostationary satellites on Ku, Ka, and C bands. The size of the terminals lies between 1.2 to 2.4 m in diameter. A VSAT network consists of a main station or a hub and other sites that are located in remote places, which help in communicating with the geostationary satellites. These networks provide wireless broadband connectivity even in remote and underserved areas that are not covered by wireline networks. Through these networks, value-added services such as local area network (LAN) services, Internet access, and data transmission can be deployed. There

After the Second World War, MPA were primarily designed for long-range patrolling to track and hunt down submarines. In the 1990s, they evolved to carry out surveillance either at sea or in the coastal regions. After 9/11, the US and its allies used MPA for reconnaissance and battlespace surveillance. Thus, MPA have transitioned from submarine trackers to performing anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASUW) missions, and now even to multi-mission MPA.

Managed industrial Ethernet switches are increasing their presence in the industrial communication market due to their network prioritization capabilities and due to the increase in the highly critical process applications. The functionality of an Ethernet switch is defined by IEEE 802.1D, which describes the architecture and the set of functions distributed throughout this architecture. In addition to the handling of user data communication, these switches also provide a set of network managementrelated functionality.

Manufacturing industries use PLM software as it deals with different functional levels of the organizations such as product designing, design engineering, and manufacturing. The need for managing the manufacturing process of a product has led to the emergence of PLM software and services. The growing complexity of products and the increase in the product portfolio across organizations have led to the demand for a system that can provide solutions to the production processes across industries. The implementation of PLM in an organization provides higher revenue, reduces cost, and increases capital efficiency.

Various industries, ranging from coal desulfurization to metal production have been using magnetic separation as an essential part of their processes for decades. Magnetic separation filters are used to remove magnetic impurities in continuous flow processes. Magnetic separation techniques like high-gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) have broadened the application base of MSE to industries such as food processing and industrial wastewater treatment. In addition, the applications have expanded to include niche industries like biotechnology where batch-scale magnetic separators are used for the purification of complex mixtures in cell separation, protein isolation, drug delivery, and biocatalysis.

Marine outboard engines are generally used in powerboats. Almost all powerboats are now equipped with either inboard or outboard engines. The demand for outboard engines is more than inboard engines. In Europe, 80% of the total engines used are outboard engines. In the US, the demand for outboard engines is on the same line as in Europe. In Europe, the demand for diesel engines is more, whereas the American market is dominated by gasoline engines. Another major difference between these markets is that consumers in the European market prefer low power output outboard engines, whereas consumers in the US prefer high power output outboard engines.
