Intelligent all-wheel drive (IAWD) systems are upgraded AWD systems, which uses sensors to detect loss of traction of the wheels and directs torque for enabling a smoother and safer ride, especially on slippery roads. A normal AWD system engages all the wheels irrespective of the type of terrain it travels. However, an IAWD system primarily engages a two-wheel drive (2WD) system where only the front two wheels will be engaged. Upon detection of near loss of traction from the wheels, torque will be distributed to compensate for traction loss transforming the vehicle to an AWD. This system results in higher fuel efficiency compared with the traditional AWD system as apart from few instances of poor road conditions, the vehicle primarily runs on 2WD, reducing engine stress.

Endoscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of complications in the internal organs of the body. An endoscope is introduced into the individual's body through either the natural cavities or a small incision. The camera or the light source is attached to the tip of the endoscope, which allows the physician or medical professional to view the organs of interest. Most endoscopic procedures are performed in the clinics/hospitals or an outpatient setting. The benefits of endoscopy include low cost, speedy recovery, reduction in the need for open surgery procedures, and less time require for diagnosis. Because of these advantages, many countries provide reimbursement programs, and private health insurance companies are encouraging the use of endoscopic procedures.

Gaming simulators are considered the super-category of video games. The main purpose of these simulators is to simulate various aspects of the virtual world through real-world motions. This would require the optimal use of software and hardware platforms. The software platform ensures an accurate mapping between the gaming movement inside the virtual world and the gamer input in the real world. The hardware platform ensures a swift interface that can attract the crowd. The addition of motion detection in simulators is one of the biggest innovations, especially in the hardware segment. The feedback received from virtual world obstacles should accurately be converted into physical movements of the simulator. The quality of hardware will depend on the same.
