DNS is a decentralized naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It consists of various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. It translates the domain names into the numerical Internet protocol (IP) addresses required for identifying computer services and devices with the underlying network protocols. The DNS is an essential component of the functionality of the Internet, as it provides a worldwide, distributed directory service.

In the past two decades, globalization (and technological advances) has changed the dynamics of the education market and the corporate training market. The emergence of new types of personal computing devices - coupled with the introduction of technologies (such as gamification, apps, and social networks) - has upgraded learning and development opportunities for employees significantly.

Control valves are devices that automatically regulate the flow rate, temperature, and pressure of liquids or gases based on an algorithm that adjusts the desired variable. Sensors detect changes in the flow of a substance and send out signals that control the operation of valves.

Endpoint security refers to the protection of the corporate network when accessed remotely from devices such as laptops, PCs, tablets, and smartphones. Endpoint security mainly consists of two components; security software and client software. While security software is centrally located and is installed on the server, within the network, client software is installed on every external device, and connected to the home network. These servers or gateways verify the log-ins from the endpoints and regularly updates the security software of the device. Consumers use devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops for both personal and professional purposes, making endpoint security solutions an essential tool for securing data.

Construction chemicals are a type of specialty chemicals used during the course of construction. These chemicals impart additional protection to structures such as residential buildings, industrial structures, dams, and bridge against environmental conditions, structural life, and to minimize the amount of raw material required. China has emerged as the leading market for construction chemicals since 2000, globally.

Mining equipment is used for surface mining to extract various resources, such as metals, coal, and minerals from the earth. Mining equipment includes trucks, dozers, loaders, borers, coal and core drillers, stationary and portable crushers, dryers, feeders, hydraulic pumps, conveyor belts, and compressors. Mining trucks, often referred to as haul trucks, are rigid dump trucks exclusively engineered for use in offroad operations such as mining and heavy-duty construction. The capacity of mining trucks range from 90 to 363 metric tons. Mining trucks with capacities ranging from 308 to 363 metric tons are classified as ultra-class trucks.

In 2015, 802.11n based wireless local area network (WLAN) products dominated the market, accounting for a share of 50.3% in terms of shipment and revenue.In 2015, the Americas dominated the market, accounting for 42.02% of the market share in terms of revenue.The availability of enhanced cellular connectivity is boosting the growth of the global mobile access point (AP) market.Increased development of smart cities is contributing significantly to the market growth.High-scale deployment of long-term evolution (LTE) networks for better connectivity is favoring the market.More than 115 million non-smartphone connected devices (mobile PCs, tablets,and mobile hotspot devices) were sold worldwide in 2015 owing to the demand for the internet to access information.

The demand for wind turbines is expected to be significant from emerging economies in APAC such as India and China. For instance, India is expected to double its wind power capacity by 2020 by adding 4,000 MW per annum. Also, the wind power capacity in India has grown five times in the past 10 years to reach 25,000 MW in 2015.Frequent gearbox failures (nearly 60% of failures in wind turbines are caused by faults in gearboxes) coupled with growth in R&D activities in direct drive turbines are expected to hinder the growth of the global wind turbine gearbox market during the forecast period.The market is facing stiff competition from direct drive technology. This has led the gearbox vendors to invest in R&D and offer innovative products. In April 2016, ZF Friedrichshafen introduced the concept of intelligent wind gearboxes to improve the reliability and efficiency of wind turbines. Major features of this concept include Bluetooth smart tags, remote visual inspection, and dynamic load monitoring.As the market is highly competitive, leading companies are aggressively signing joint ventures or acquisition deals to enhance their capabilities and gain a competitive edge. For instance, in December 2015, ZF Friedrichshafen acquired Bosch Rexroth to strength its wind turbine gearbox business.

Smartwatches are not only used for entertainment, fitness, and wellness but also for online retail and banking. eBay was the first online retail vendor that offered its services through Samsung's smartwatch apps in September 2013. In addition,Citibank extended its services to its customers in the US through the Citi Mobile Lite app for the Apple Watch in July 2015.Fitness band providers are launching smart fitness watches or fitness bands embedded with payment technology. This will likely pose a threat to the growth of the smartwatch payment segment. Smartwatches are expensive compared with fitness bands. With the manufacture of fitness bands embedded with payment solutions, the possibility of individuals preferring fitness bands over smartwatches is likely to be higher.
