Parenteral nutrition refers to the IV infusion of a formula into the blood stream, where total parenteral infusion is the provision of complete nutritional requirement intravenously. Parenteral nutrition can be delivered either centrally, that is into the superior vena cava, or peripherally, that is into other veins. Intestinal obstruction, gut failure, or a complete inability to gain enteral access are some of the situations in which parenteral nutrition is considered imperative to meet an individual's nutritional requirements.

LG was the first player to introduce inverter technology refrigerators in single door format. LG announced in January 2016 that it would be introducing inverter technology in single door refrigerators with 270 liters capacity for Indian customers at an average price of $400. Following this announcement, in February 2016, Samsung announced the extension of its Digital Inverter Compressor, which was previously available only in its frost-free refrigerators, to its Direct Cool Single Door Refrigerator Series. This new range was named the 'Smart Convertible 5-in-1’ range, would include refrigerators with a minimum capacity of 192 liters and be priced at approximately $270. With this LG and Samsung made this technology available to a wider base of consumers.

The global invisible orthodontics market is growing at a rapid rate and is likely to post a CAGR of 12.68% during the forecast period. Oral health problems are common among individuals of all ages, and most of them are preventable. Oral diseases range from tooth decay (cavities) to oral cancer. Cavities, bleeding gums, chronic bad breath, and periodontal gum diseases are the most common illnesses. According to 2012 WHO statistics, around 60%-90% of school children and nearly 100% of adults had dental cavities and irregular placement of teeth, which led to much pain and discomfort. Organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), WHO, American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Periodontology are taking initiatives to increase awareness about oral health.

Ion-exchange chromatography is a separation process that utilizes the charge of the medium and desired particle. This process can be used for almost any kind of charged molecules ranging from large proteins to small nucleotides and amino acids. Mobile phage refers to the mobile molecules in the mixture. It is usually a concentration of a buffer, pH, and a salt. The opposite charged solute ions get attracted to the stationary phage by electrostatic force, and the stationary phage resin is used to covalently attach anions or cations onto it.

The need for security technologies, including highly reliable and accessible personal authentication and identification systems, has increased mainly due to the frequent instances of security breaches, identity theft, and fraud in different sectors. Biometrics has emerged as a suitable security and monitoring solution to meet this need, as it is based on the behavioral and physiological characteristics of an individual, which are difficult to replicate.

Economic globalization and international trade agreements among various nations have created high demand for effective supply chains and distributions systems. Developing countries have implemented advanced IT solutions such as analytical applications to manage their domestic and international supply chains and distribution systems. Developing nations are in the process of revamping the supply chain and distribution systems. Logistics is an important component in the entire value chain of the supply chain and distribution systems. In recent times, the need for real-time monitoring of vehicles carrying assets has increased significantly to ensure the on-time and safe delivery of goods.

Labels are printed pieces of paper, film, polymer, or other materials affixed to a product or imprinted on the package or the body of a product that provide important information about the product and the company. Labeling equipment is used to dispense and apply the label to a container, package, or product. Some labeling equipment is not only used for dispensing and applying but also for printing the labels. Pressure-sensitive labeling equipment, in-mold equipment, and heat-shrink labeling equipment are some of the labeling equipment types available in the market.

Filtration is a method used to separate or collect a desired solid from a solution, or to remove solid impurities from a liquid. This process is done by passing a contaminated fluid through a membrane, filter paper or any other filtration media, and the pure desired filtrate is obtained on the other end. The filtration media often have a large number of pores of different sizes to filter particles and contaminants of different sizes. Laboratory filtration offerings find applications in a wide range of industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, healthcare, chemicals, semi-conductor, and environment monitoring among many others.

Most industries include certain safety hazards, which can prove fatal to the employees. The use of PPE protects employees from injuries and helps reduce employer liability along with financial costs. According to the estimates by the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the return on investment for $1 spent on PPE by an employer is $4 in the form of reduced injuries and improved employee productivity. According to Canadian Standards Association standards, a worksite should be assessed for potential work hazards. Mandatory government regulations and the rising awareness of safety risks prompt employers to purchases PPE.

The lighting is defined by the type of light source technologies such as incandescent, halogen, CFL, LFL, HID, LED, and OLED. The report examines only four major technologies that are predominantly used in the hospitality sector, which include CFL, LFL, HID, and LED. With the history of different lighting sources such as incandescent lighting, fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, and tungsten photonic lighting, LED lighting is the latest transition, which the industry has adopted. LED lighting devices provide several advantages such as high-intensity brightness, low voltage and current requirements, low radiated heat, high reliability, negligible ultra-violet (UV) rays, and a longer lifespan over the conventional lighting sources.
