Profession AV solutions or pro AV equipment are systems that transmit multiple high-quality live audio and video signals that are uncompressed in nature, among other transmissions, to multiple devices. The pro AV systems are broadly used in live events, broadcast facilities, commercial installations, and recording and postproduction. Sound reinforcement equipment and solutions form the backbone of any pro-AV systems, installed or portable. The advent of cloud and software-based applications has brought about a major shift in audio-visual (AV) technologies in recent years. Global enterprises are looking forward to advanced AV solutions to help them achieve seamless business communication and collaboration. On the other hand, system integrators and channel partners are also witnessing huge revenue potential in the growing global enterprise AV market.

Powder coating technology was introduced in the 1940s. In the powder coating technique, the metal product was coated with dry powder instead of conventional liquid paints. By the late 1950s, powder coatings were used to coat pipes to protect the metal from corrosion and used in electric motor parts for insulation. They were also flame sprayed onto the metal substrate. The most common method for the application of powder coatings was the fluidized bed process, in which the heated parts were dipped into wet powder and fluidized by air. These particles of powder come in contact with heated metal parts and form a smooth layer on the metal substrate.

A taxi, also known as a cab, is a type of vehicle for hire with driver used by a single passenger or small group of passengers, often for a shared or non-shared ride. A taxi or a cab conveys passengers between locations of their choice. This differs from public transport, as here the pick-up and drop-off locations are decided by the customer, and not by the service provider. There are various distinct forms of taxi, which includes limousines, hackney carriages, and private hire vehicles including passenger car, motorcycle, scooters, minivan, van, buses & coaches, auto rikshaw, bicycles, and tricycles. Taxi services are typically provided by automobiles, but in some countries various human-powered vehicles such as rickshaw or pedicab, animal-powered vehicles such as the Hansom cab and water taxies or air taxies are also used. Customers can book a ride via text message request, phone calls, or by going directly service provider’s physical location.

Note sorters are used as sorting units that facilitate the management of notes for cash-intensive businesses. The note sorter machine helps banks reduce the human efforts as well as reduces different types of error in sorting and counting of cash. In addition, it provides different benefits to end users that include reduction in operational expenses, less risk of internal theft occurring during the sorting and counting processes, faster processing of bank procedures, and decline in financial losses.

Envelope tracking is a power supply technique that is used to adjust the converter voltage to improve the efficiency of a power amplifier, which is used in wireless systems. In envelope tracking technique, RF signal’s amplitude envelope is tracked and the bias voltage is adjusted according to the results in amplitude. This helps in operating power amplifier with maximum efficiency at any instantaneous power level. The recent cellular communications, such as W-CDMA, HSPA+, and LTE, operate signal waveforms with more extreme “peaks” and “valleys”, unlike GSM, which maintains continuous waveform throughout the operation. Recent cellular technologies experience continuous deflection in waveforms; hence, the requirement of envelope tracking technique is required to bring out maximum efficiency.

Digital transformation in BFSI is a set of methodologies, tools and processes that is used by modern companies to improve their operational activities and to enhance their sales.
