Flow meters measure the mass, quantity, pressure and velocity of any fluid or gas flowing through a pipeline. These meters are classified into two types: Analog flow meters Smart/intelligent flow meters At present, the majority of the flow meters used are traditional analog flow meters, which are used to measure the flow of the fluid (oil and water) and gas (LPG, NG, condensate). But the trend is shifting toward the adoption of smart meter technology. Various governments and companies are adopting these new smart meters, which can transmit real-time data about consumption, peak load, and other crucial information such as leakages that need to be addressed immediately.

Cardiopulmonary stress testing systems are non-invasive equipment that help evaluate the exercise capacity of an individual's cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematopoietic, neuropsychological, and musculoskeletal systems. These systems also estimate the effects of physical stress on people diagnosed with heart failure.

A few major camera accessories include lenses, flashguns, bags, cases, straps, supports, and memory cards. Users primarily invest in camera accessories to protect cameras from any physical damage and for improved functionality. Though the unit shipment of digital cameras declines year over year, around 35 million digital still cameras were shipped in 2015. The growing demand for advanced digital cameras across the world is driving the adoption of camera accessories. The increasing demand for smartphones will likely hinder revenue inflow of the camera accessories market as vendors, such as Apple, Samsung, and HTC, are integrating high-megapixel digital cameras in their devices. These cameras eliminate the need for users to invest in digital cameras.

Agricultural machinery has evolved over the years, and modern agricultural machines have enhanced the speed, volume, and efficiency of agricultural practices. These machineries are designed and configured to suit the varied needs of end-users. The market depends on agricultural land and farm output and grows in tandem with demand. The revenue generated from the global agricultural machinery market is calculated through the overall revenue generated by the following segments of the market:

The global agricultural harvester market is expected to post a CAGR of 7.33% during the forecast period. Geographically, North America accounted for the largest segment of the market in 2015, with a share of 32.09%. It was followed by APAC with a share of 27.74%. APAC is anticipated to post the fastest growth rate among all other geographic segments over the next five years.

The semiconductor market is shifting toward complex and miniaturized devices. Semiconductor device manufacturers need higher inspection sensitivity as they move toward lower node sizes (10nm and beyond). The migration will introduce complex structures and designs, as well as new materials.

The global market is gradually experiencing the transition from legacy telephony services and messaging platforms to new UC&C services and platforms. We expect more number of global deployments of UC&C in coming years, driven by growing popularity of applications, such as rich collaboration, mobility, video conferencing, and telepresence. Business process integration and social media communications have become the primary focus of enterprises. Companies seek low-cost solutions, such as BYOD and web real-time communications (WebRTC) to deploy UC&C solutions.

A roofing tile provides protection to the structure below from heat and rain. Modern day roofing tiles are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to provide an aesthetic appeal to the overall building. These tiles can be fixed onto the roof through either nails or even cement at select points of the tile.

A microgrid is a smaller version of a conventional centralized electrical grid. It is capable of producing power, distributing it, and controlling the flow of energy supplied to consumers within a specified geography. It can function autonomously or operate parallel with a conventional grid. However, compared with a conventional grid, the power generated by a microgrid is supplied to establishments or houses that are situated in close proximity to the plant. This reduces transmission and distribution losses, which are generally associated with centralized power generation.
