Intelligent hearing protection products are increasingly replacing passive hearing protection products in various applications, primarily because they provide situational awareness to the wearer. Although these products are three to four times more expensive than passive products, the growing availability of cost-effective solutions (under $100) will drive market growth.

The beauty industry can be divided into two broad segments, mass beauty care and premium beauty care, on the basis of the target market and product pricing. The mass category of products is targeted at the middle- and lower-income class (C, C-/D+, and D/E classes) population, whereas the premium category of products is targeted at the upper-income class (A/B and C+) or affluent class of population. A wide range of products are sold in the mass beauty care market and these broadly fall under one of these product categories: hair care products, color cosmetics (makeup), skin care products, and deodorants. Hair care products may be sub-segmented into shampoos and conditioners, hair colorants, and others. Hair sprays fall under the third sub-segment.

Genetic modification (GM), also called genetic engineering (GE), is a technology where new traits are introduced into an organism by directly manipulating its genetic makeup. For instance, Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), is introduced or manipulated through intervention at the molecular level using biotechnology. In the process of this technology, scientists manipulate the characteristics of plants and animals by introducing DNA fragments, whole genes, or long stretches of DNA segments from different organisms. Scientists can also remove or exchange sequences of DNA in organisms or introduce genetic material to silent genes. GM seeds have a larger shelf life and pest resistance as compared to the conventional or non-GM seeds.

Consumer electronic devices are made up of different components, with semiconductor chips being the most important one. The quality of an electronic device is highly dependent on the quality of the semiconductor chip, which undergoes numerous procedures throughout the production process. Each process can contaminate the wafer or chip by imposing some impurities on the surface. As these devices are small in size and are getting smaller with further technical advances, the detection and removal of impurities are becoming more challenging. Hence, a foundry employs semiconductor wafer or cleaning systems during the fabrication process to ensure that the wafer or chip is free from contamination. This also helps the foundry realize a high production yield.

EDA comprises software tools used in the designing of electronic systems and components such as ICs and PCBs. The tools allow electrical (hardware) and computer (software) engineers to design, analyze, and simulate electronic components and systems. They are also used to derive methodologies and algorithms that aid in the designing of ultra-large-scale integration (ULSI) circuits. Segments such as CAE, semiconductor IP, IC physical design and verification, PCB and MCM, and services add up to drive the growth of the global EDA market.

E2W (electric two-wheeler) is a term used for electric motorcycles, scooters, and bicycles. They are powered by batteries instead of liquid fuel. E2Ws are equipped with a DC motor, controller, battery, and charger, instead of an ICE (internal combustion engine), as used in liquid fuel-powered two wheelers. E2Ws are considered more environment-friendly, as well as a fuel saving alternative in comparison with liquid fuel- powered two-wheelers. They are a sound choice for short-range travel requirements. In the E2W segment, E-scooters are growing in the market.

In 2015, a research study estimated that more than three million people worldwide underwent PCI procedures. In September 2015, the NHS estimated that medical facilities in the UK performed 75,000 coronary angioplasty procedures each year. The formation of plaque in the blood vessels can cause CAD. The disease causes narrowing of the blood vessels, which interrupts normal blood flow and may lead to ischemic stroke. For treatment, physicians may perform angioplasty using balloon catheters with or without stents to open the arteries and improve the blood flow.

In aircraft, galleys are used as a compartment where food can be prepared to be served to the onboard passengers. The Douglas Aircraft Company was the first aerospace company to include it in its aircraft DC-3 in 1921. In commercial aircraft, the galleys typically not only include food preparation and serving equipment but also contain jump seats (for flight attendants) and emergency equipment.

Advertisements include any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods or services by an identified sponsor. It is an effective tool used in business to differentiate goods and services in a meaningful way to connect the consumer with the brand. Increasing competition in the business world has made it mandatory for businesses to advertise. In addition, the advent of digital media has made advertising an affordable proposition for SMEs. Advertising and marketing on digital platforms reaches a larger audience and helps the SMEs to stay competitive in the market.

Vitamins are of two sorts — water soluble (A, D, E, and K) and fat soluble (vitamin B and vitamin C). Vitamin B can be of the following types B1 (thiamine), B2(riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic), B6, B12, B9, and B7. The chemical ingredients that constitute vitamins are called vitamers. Vitamins can contain multiple vitamers. For example, Vitamin A contains six vitamers — retinal, retinol, and four types of carotenoids. Human body does not produce vitamin by itself, so human beings depend on secondary sources such as food and supplements for vitamins. Vitamins help the body to fight against diseases. All the 13 vitamins are essential for the proper functioning of the human body and for good health. Vitamins perform many biochemical functions such as regulating metabolism, aiding cell and tissue growth, and assisting enzyme-substrate reactions inside the living body. A deficiency of vitamins results in different health disorders and supplementation is required to overcome them. Vitamin supplements are fortified with vitamers or vitamin ingredients sourced from various natural and synthetic sources.
