Cannulation of arteries and veins is a vital aspect of patient care during the administration of medications and fluids for monitoring purposes. This procedure requires nurses and physicians to have knowledge about surface anatomy and palpation for identifying the target vessel. It is performed by inserting a needle until blood is aspirated.

Advanced ceramics are mainly produced by controlled crystallization of certain chemicals, generally induced by nucleating additives. They are made of nitrates, carbides, oxides, and other materials using modern processing technologies. These ceramics are hard, durable, wear resistant, corrosion resistant, and have different electrical properties. The properties of these ceramics depend on their composition and microstructure.

In 2015, the US witnessed the highest increase in traffic fatalities in the last 50 years. With over 38,000 deaths, 2015 recorded the highest percentage increase in the number of traffic fatalities in the country. Among high-income countries, the US has the highest traffic fatalities rate worldwide. While countries such as France, the UK, and Australia have witnessed a sharp decline in annual traffic fatalities and fatality rates (per mile of travel) over the period of time, the US has shown limited improvement in this regard in the last 20 years.

Many manufacturing companies need PLM software because it deals with different functional levels of an organization such as product designing, design engineering, and manufacturing. The need for managing a product during the manufacturing process has led to the emergence of PLM software and services. The growing complexity of products and the increase in product portfolio across organizations has led to the demand for a system that can provide solutions to the production process across industries. The implementation of PLM in an organization provides higher revenue, reduces cost, and increases capital efficiency.

IAM is a security solution that confirms the accessibility of authorized resources in an IT system. In the mid-1990s, organizations struggled to meet the compliance demands because it was expensive. However, organizations have understood the compliance requirements and are focusing on comply with the set regulations. The key driver for the growth of IAM is the initiatives such as enforcement of logical access controls and entitlement management. Organizations are realizing the benefits of IAM and are compelled to transform IAM from a compliance-based program into a real business enabler, which is a capability maturity model that reduces risks and supports relevant IT trends.

Since early 21st century, technological innovations have fueled revolutions in global military affairs. With the increase in the global arms trade, the potent warfare capabilities of numerous countries have increased invariably. In the coming years, countries like China, France, Germany, India, Iran, Japan, Pakistan, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, the UK, and the US will likely boost their capabilities to indigenously manufacture and import advanced military tank containers to ensure proper supply of vital products (such as food, water, oil, gas, and pharmaceuticals) to their respective armed troops. The defense authorities around the globe are focusing more on the procurement and deployment of military tank containers, thereby lending adequate support to soldiers in the military encampments.

OTC drugs are medicines that can be bought without a prescription from a doctor because the US FDA considers them safe for use without medical supervision. These drugs are used to treat conditions that do not necessarily require a doctor's advice, such as pain, itches, cough and cold, sleeping problems, smoking cessation, weight problems, gastrointestinal problems, and tooth decay. They are sold through hospitals, pharmaceutical stores, grocery stores, catalogs, and online retail stores.

Test equipment is part of assembly line testing of semiconductor devices that saves manual effort and time of a semiconductor manufacturing process while ensuring the quality of these devices. The size of such test equipment can range from small computer-driven dedicated fixed purpose testers to large programmable machines. The cost of the equipment also varies accordingly. Probe cards are test equipment devices that are used by semiconductor device manufacturers to perform wafer test or wafer sort. Probe cards are used to test the semiconductor die or chips while the die is still constituted on the semiconductor wafer.

Safety goggles and glasses are products that protect the wearer's eyes from potentially hazardous elements, ranging from airborne particles to chemicals. The global safety goggles and glasses market will be driven primarily by the increasing demand from APAC, where international companies are pioneering stringent safety programs in their countries of operation. A few countries in this region, such as Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, also have well-defined government regulations on worker safety that are contributing to market growth.

Indium is a soft, malleable metal with a silvery-white appearance. It is fabricated by the chemical reaction of tin-oxide with indium oxide and is used as a transparent conducting film and has high transmittance in the visible IR region. ITO is used in applications that require a transparent conductive coating on their surfaces. About 75% of the total compound consumed is used in the production of flat panel displays (FPDs) and liquid-crystal displays (LCDs).
