Energy management systems use computer-aided tools to monitor, control, and optimize electrical loads. These systems help users to conserve energy by monitoring and reducing energy consumption of electrical and electronic devices. They have the provision of feedback on electricity consumption patterns and power consumption data for individual appliances and different areas of a building such as common areas, cafeterias, data centers, and lobby areas. This allows better energy management and improved profitability through efficient operation. They can perform pre-programmed functions such as maintaining the temperature and lighting in different areas in real time, according to various preferential settings specific to different areas.

The automobile suspension system dates back to the beginning of 19th century when automobiles were invented. That time, internal combustion engine-powered vehicles were in the embryo stage, and two innovations were made to form the vehicle's suspension system. For the first time, front coil springs were used along with dampeners that acted as shock absorbers for minimizing vibrations in vehicles. Later, suspension systems saw the use of new setup with leaf springs, which were less costly and flexible in terms of changing shape so as to accommodate varying weights. This system was initially used by European automakers.
