A viral disease occurs when an individual is infected by a disease-causing microorganism called a virus (pathogen). A virus is a small organism that is capable of replicating inside the living host cell.

Antiseptics and disinfectants are chemical products that kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms on living tissues and non-living surfaces. Based on their application,they can be used as growth inhibitors or infection control agents in end-user segments.The various end-users for these products are healthcare providers, research centers,and commercial users like hospitals, diagnostic centers, patient care centers, research laboratories, schools, hotels and restaurants, and corporate offices.

Anti-reflective coating is an optical coating, which is applied on the back and front surface of optical elements and optical lenses to abate the reflection. It seizures the unwanted reflection from surfaces and helps in improved visibility. The anti-reflective coating has high transmittance and low reflectance, and therefore, are commonly used in eyewear applications. It eliminates back glares associated with sunglass and eyeglasses.It is extensively used in the electronics, solar, architecture, military and defense, automotive, medical, and telecommunication industries.

Money laundering is a worldwide issue. The reason for criminals to launder their illegal funds is that they can later use this money in the markets without any hindrance and without the fear of it being tracked. Laundering prevents the funds from being confiscated by the police. In money laundering, once the funds are deposited in a foreign bank, they can be moved through accounts of shell corporations that exist mainly for laundering purposes. The high volume of wire transfers daily makes it difficult for law enforcement agencies to trace these transactions.

Automotive leaf spring suspension is an arc-shaped spring steel mainly used in heavy commercial vehicles. It can be attached either at the rear or front of the vehicles to provide suspension.Based on application, the automotive leaf spring suspension market is segmented into LCVs, M&HCV trucks, and M&HCV buses.The automotive leaf spring suspension market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.53% during the forecast period. APAC is the biggest market for leaf spring suspension systems mainly due to the high penetration of these devices in the M&HCVs segment in countries such as China and India.

Intelligent tire technology consists of a feedback microchip which sends data about the road, weather, tire pressure, tire tread wear, and a host of other parameters to the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU). This data enables the ECU to automatically refine the vehicle’s longitudinal and lateral control algorithms to deliver an enhanced driving performance.The intelligent tire technology improves the overall performance of a car. This includes reducing the stopping distances when the anti-lock braking system (ABS)

kicks in. It also provides greater stability due to a more informed electronic stability control (ESC) system.

The automotive glass market comprises glasses used in windshields and in the side and rear windows of a vehicle.

Collapsible steering column consists of two hollow shafts with the smaller shaft placed inside the other. The two shafts are fitted into each other with the help of bearings and sealing. This design structure allows the steering column to collapse during a frontal impact and absorbs the energy of impact.The collapsible steering column is a part of vehicle’s passive safety system and is developed to reduce the risk of injuries to the driver during front collisions. The general principle of the collapsible steering column is similar to that of a traditional steering column, transferring the motion of steering wheels to ground wheels through steering gearbox, with an exception of the structural design.
