Geospatial imagery analytics utilizes data collected through satellite images and provides visuals and image data of the earth. The geo-referenced images are later presented as raster and vector images. Raster images, also known as bitmaps, are individual pixels of color whereas vector images are graphics comprised of mathematical formulas and can be infinitely scaled. Geospatial imagery analytics are deployed in various industry verticals such as agriculture, manufacturing and mining, and defense & security due to its capabilities of monitoring and identifying any shift in any areas.

Heat pump is a mechanical-compression cycle refrigeration system that can be reversed to either heat or cool desired space. Therefore, it is massively used in space heating and cooling applications. It is composed of two main components, which include an indoor air handler and an outdoor unit that is quite similar to the central air-conditioner but referred to as a heat pump. The outdoor unit has a compressor that circulates refrigerant, which is known for absorbing and releasing heat that travels between indoor and outdoor units. The key difference between an air conditioner and heat pump is both technologies cool the desired space using similar mechanisms, but heat pumps can also heat residential spaces, whereas the air conditioner cannot.

Hazardous location LED lighting refers to a network of LED lights that are fitted with sensors and can detect hazardous substances. These networks can provide a highly effective earlydetection system for plant safety and safeguard the life and proper ty, in case of an incident. LED lighting for hazardous locations holds the potential to save operating and maintenance costs for operators of the facilities. LED lighting is agreed as a viable alternative to traditional lighting in areas, where flammable gases and vapors are present (under conditions defined by NEC class I, division 2, and IEC zone 2). Besides the detection of hazardous substances and triggering of an alert, these sensors equipped LED lighting equipment allow the configuration to dynamically illuminate the lights along the evacuation route, based on the absence of the offending substance, thereby, assisting the guide personnel on the fastest, safest escape route. Energy conservation is another benefit achieved by these LED fixtures incorporating smar t sensors. These can help reduce energy use by an additional 50%.

Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is a polystyrene foam obtained through the extrusion process. XPS systems use air as an insulating material and form a closely packed structure, which exhibits excellent moisture-resistant properties. The manufacturing process of XPS includes melting of polystyrene, which is then fed into an extruder along with special additives & blowing agents. Moreover, the efficiency of an insulation XPS system depends on its thickness and installation. The global extruded polystyrene insulation materials market is driven by the growth in demand for energyefficient buildings from the non-residential and residential segments of the construction industry, and rise in government infrastructure projects. However, certain environmental issues related to the use of global warmingcausing toxic chemicals like fluorochlorohydrocarbons and presence of high number of substitutes are expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period. Manufacturers have made heavy investments to eliminate the use of these toxic chemicals and develop safer XPS systems. The introduction of high-quality, energy-efficient XPS systems and frequent product launches by market players to enhance their product portfolio provide lucrative growth opportunities for market expansion. In addition, the volume and revenue of the market is provided in the report in terms of kilotons and $million.

This report covers the study of the global filling equipment market. Comprehensive analyses of the market trends, future estimations, and thorough study of the market based on the sales type, product type, process type, end-user industry and region are included in this report. Filling equipment market here specifies the market of filling machine systems with its detailed revenue generation by its various segments. Filling equipment includes different types depending on process types, product type and end user industry. Filling equipment is the machines used for filling solid, semi-solid and liquid form of products in the holding containers such as box, bag, pouch or bottle. Filling equipment is convenient for large scale filling of the containers at high speed and with accurate measurement. A large scale production of any material or substance generally takes up lot of time to be filled in the containers. However, filling machines perform this work with ease as well as rapidly and with greater accuracy.

Electronic design automation (EDA) tools have provided the ability to innovate to the silicon industry, over the past few years. EDA is responsible for developing the design tools that enable the IC design process to be achieved at a design cost that allows the ecosystem to operate at a profit. Some of the benefits of using EDA tools are minimizing time in designing complex ICs, reducing manufacturing costs, eliminating manufacturing errors, optimizing the IC design and simplicity of usage, etc. The market studied is entirely dependent on the semiconductor industry. The semiconductor business has been experiencing steady growth. However, the growth is expected to be faced with several challenges. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, the global semiconductor industry sales amounted to USD 412.1 billion in 2019, a decrease of 12.1% compared to the 2018 total. Despite the policy challenges that led to the slowdown in the first half, sales recovered in the last two quarters. The semiconductor business is set to experience steady growth in 2020.

Forklift truck can be defined as the most important and majorly vehicle for material handling. In addition, lift truck is powered industrial vehicle that is used for lifting and transporting material for short distance inside warehouses or other operational sites. Lift trucks are either gasoline powered or electric powered. Also, the penetration of electric powered forklifts trucks is rising in recent days owing to benefits such as eco-friendly and noise less operation. Further, a typical forklift truck consists of two power-operated horizontal prongs that are raised and lowered for loading, transporting, and unloading of goods.

Directed energy weapons (DEWs) is largely defined as those weapons which produce high power beam of concentrated energy in the form of electromagnetic, atomic, and sub-atomic particles, which is used to damage or destroy objects or eliminate human adversaries. Directed energy weapon systems are primarily classified into three technologies: high-power laser, high-power microwave and neutral particle beam. High power laser technology contributed 88.68% of market share in 2019, but the growth of high-power microwave technology is expected to be high due to the inexpensive development and operation cost as compared to high power lasers. Moreover, neutral particle beam technology is currently in the theoretical stage and adequate research is needed for further development of the prototype.
