Hydrocephalus is the abnormal accumulation of CSF within the brain cavities called ventricles (space near the spine). It occurs due to an imbalance in the formation and absorption rate of the fluid. This results in ventricle enlargement and increasedpressure inside the head.CSF produced in the ventricles is circulated throughout the body through ventricular system into the subarachnoid space that is absorbed into the venous system or the bloodstream. CSF production is approximately 0.2 ml/min to 0.4 ml/min or 500 ml to 600ml per day.

If we look at the present market scenario, many manufacturers operating in this space are looking to improve their potato peeling and slicing equipment portfolio. Most manufacturers are aiming at providing appliances wherein the potatoes are moved relative to the appliance, which helps in complete removal of the peel. Many manufacturers offer potato peelers that have an option to mount potatoes for rotation. This setup is then rotated and moved axially against a peeling head.

A speaker is an audio system that converts electromagnetic waves into sound waves. Portable speakers can be categorized based on technology into two types: wired and wireless portable speakers. The demand for wired speakers is fast declining because they use wired technology. A cable is used to connect the speaker to the source. The audio signal is transferred through the cable. The quality and speed of data transfer are relatively fast compared with wireless speakers.

The global PPE market in the construction industry is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for fall protection by many construction companies. Rising awareness due to increasing on-site training and demonstration is also a factor that is driving the market growth. However, provision of comfortable and women-specific PPE is a challenge in the market. This also creates an opportunity for vendors to offer PPE of proper fitting size for women workers at a construction site. Advances in head protection such as patented suspension and adjustable straps can contribute to the PPE market in the construction industry during the forecast period. Technavio forecasts the global PPE market in the construction industry to grow at a CAGR of 7.80% during the 2015-2020 period.

A connector is a device that transmits electric signals either from the power source to the electronic equipment or connects the internal controls of a machine. It forms a medium of communication between different systems and components by connecting electric circuits with each other. Connectors are widely used in most of the following industries:

PTFE is a polymer composed of carbon and fluorine. PTFE has a straight, long carbon backbone to which the fluorine atoms are bonded. The carbon backbone is protected by the electron cloud of fluorine atoms that form a uniform helical sheath. Therefore, it forms strong bonds, and the non-polarity of PTFE makes it extremely inert and thermally stable.

QSFP is an optical transceiver module used in optical fiber communication systems. The main function of this module is photoelectric conversion. In an optical fiber communication system, the information is sent in the form of light pulses, which is then converted into electrical signals in order to be utilized by an electronic device. The transmitter then converts the electrical signal into an optical signal, which is coupled to a connector. The receiver then converts the optical signal, which is transmitted through a fiber optic cable, into an electrical signal. There are different types of fiber optic transceivers available in the market including CFP, QSFP, QSFP+, SFP, and SFP+. The different types of fiber optic transceivers are described below:

Military body-worn cameras are, roughly, the traditionally hand-held or uniformattached surveillance cameras that perform the basic function of capturing and storing images and videos for future references. These are usually small in size and can be clipping on the uniform, mounted on the helmet, glass integrated, button pinhole, and clipped on the holster; depending on the type of mission that is being undertaken. Researches and studies have proven that military body-worn cameras almost always result in a win-win situation for both the operators and the public. In the last few years, the use of military body-worn cameras benefited many different departments to collect evidence and decreased the dependency on third-party evidence. Owing to these benefits, these devices are registering growing popularity across the globe.

Pressure regulators modulate or reduce the fluctuating supply (or inlet) pressure to obtain the desired outlet pressure. This process is the primary functionality of pressure regulators. A pressure regulator consists of three primary functional elements:  A pressure-reducing or restrictive element, which is often a spring-loaded poppet valve.  A sensing element that is typically a diaphragm or piston.  A reference force element, which is most commonly a spring. Many factors should be considered while choosing a pressure regulator. The primary factors include operating pressure ranges for the inlet and outlet, flow requirements, the type of fluid, and expected operating temperature range. Other factors include appropriate material selection for regulator components, including seals, as well as the size and weight constraints.

The process safety systems market covers emergency shutdown systems (ESS), fire and gas systems (F&G), high-integrity pressure protection systems (HIPPS) and burner management systems (BMS). All these process safety systems aid in enhancing system safety and thereby increase the overall plant process line. The process safety systems focus on reducing the risks of fires, discharge of toxic gases, and local fires.
