The major difference between consumer and professional headphones is that the professional headphones are designed with top-class drivers and diaphragm, and offer a balanced sound signature. The balanced sound signature is highly desired by the professionals in all steps of music creation; as such, the audio is not biased or inclined towards any particular frequency. The key remains in minimizing and eliminating this defect completely. This detection and removal of sound difference have led to the development of hi-fidelity professional headphones.

Primarily owing to the increased a doption in consumer electronics, th e demand for supercapacitors increased significantly over the past few years. While Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 came with a nifty new feature: the S Pen stylus Bluetooth, and could be charged instantly using a supercapacitor, several smartphone manufacturers invested in next-gen battery design to better protect against drops and weath er condi tions tha t drove the growth of smartphon e supercapacitors.  Moreover, with automotive manufacturers emphasizing on reducing dependency on the oil sector and governing bodies imposing stringent environmental regulations, growth prospects for the el ectric vehicles is expected to be promising. This has led the supercapacitor manufacturers to explore profitable opportunities in the rapidly-evolving automotive industry. Due to this, in February 2019, Tesla Inc., a global giant in the automotive and energy industries, acquired Maxwell Technologies Inc., a leading battery technology company for approximately USD 218 million. Following this acquisition, the company aimed to capitalize on lucrative opportunities for electric vehicles, and it planned to add expertise in the field of supercapacitors that could speed up car charging capabilities.

Soft magnetic material are those materials that are easily magnetized and demagnetized and are known for having intrinsic coercivity less than 1000 Am. Soft magnetic material is known for enhance and channel the flux produced by electric current. Material considered under includes nickel, cobalt, iron, electric steel, soft ferrite, and their alloys. These material are used in both AC and DC applications. In DC applications, the material is magnetized to perform an operation and then demagnetized at the end of the operation. While, in AC applications, material is continuously cycled and being magnetized in one direction to other throughout the period of application. This is one of the major advantages that the soft magnetic material has over hard magnetic material.

The market for medical electrodes is being driven by factors, such as the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular and neurological diseases, increasing investm ent for technological a dvancemen ts by biopharmaceutical companies, and rising focus toward minimally invasive surgeries. The rising population of the world is stimulating the demand for increased access and advancements in diagnostic technologies and treatment modalities. Due to the aging and rising world population, the demand for healthcare products and services increased by multiple times in the past decade, particularly in the developed and high-economic growth countries. The growing prevalence of cardiac and neurological diseases plays an essential role in the growth of the medical electrodes market.

The concept of memristor was first conceived by renowned Professor Leon Chua in 1971 at the University of California, Berkeley, United States. However, it were the engineers at HP labs who revolutionized the concept in 2008 with the introduction of the first memristor. Since the first conceptualization of memristors, the definition of this component has been highly debated, and even after almost 50 years there is no consensus on the definition of memristors. HP labs, in their paper in 2008, streamlined the definition and technologies that fall under the umbrella of memristors. Following this, Leon Chua rebutted HP’s theory and wanted to have a wider definition of memristor. The common definition that is widely used is that a memristor is a hypothetical non-linear passive two-terminal electrical component relating electric charge and magnetic flux linkage, which was described by Leon in 1971.

Digital Scent technology has witnessed exponential development from its initial deployment by the US Army in the Vietnam war to massive e-nose networks setup, around the world, presently. The digital scent technology has gained momentum recently with the development of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and IoT. E-nose technology has seen widespread adoption in the waste management industry. Countries, such as the Netherland, UAE, Kuwait, and Italy have the most comprehensive e-nose networks. Countries like South Africa, Oman, and Estonia, have also invested in developing such e-nose networks. Odor pollution has become a sensitive issue in many parts of the world, with many severe instances reported by different countries in the world. The latest was from Malaysia in July 2019, when the authorities in Malaysia had to dispatch several teams to comb Batang Kali, which was considered to be the source of foul smell which spread through the region.

The proliferation of handheld devices has led to developments in the field of gas sensors, detector, and analyzer, which has considerably widened the scope of application across multiple end-user segments. Due to their chemical composition and properties, metal oxide gas sensors are well-suited for a wide range of applications, including the detection of all reactive gases. Depending on the material used and the gases that need to be detected, typical operating temperatures range between 300°C and 900°C. Currently, some of the prominent companies are developing products across the detector, as well as the analyzer segment having application across clinical assaying, environmental emission control, explosive detection, agricultural storage, and shipping, along with workplace hazard monitoring.

X-ray technology has been commonly associated with the healthcare and research and development sector, for several years. However, in recent times, technology has expanded into the manufacturing environments, which is helping several end-user industries improve the quality of production. Further, with the evolution of digital X-ray variants, the price of equipment and operations has considerably gone down, enabling the rapid adoption of X-ray technologies in the manufacturing environments. Some of the initial industries that pioneered the use of X-ray inspection for quality control include the aerospace and defense and the semiconductor industry.

Endoscopy and endotherapy devices are used for both examination and therapeutic purposes. For analysis, the endoscopy devices market is segmented based on product, hygiene, application, end user, and region. The global endoscopy devices market includes revenue generated from the endotherapy and endoscopy devices as well as revenue generated from visualization & documentation systems and accessories by the endoscopy devices manufacturers. However, the report does not include revenue generated from the endoscopy services and reprocessing & sterilization services provided by the hospitals, clinics, and others.

Landing gears are one of the most critical sub-systems of an aircraft. It supports the aircraft on ground during landing, take-off, and taxing operations. There is an increase in aircraft orders from various airlines around the world. This is primarily due to an increase in the number of passengers opting for air travel. Air passenger growth is the highest in the Asia-Pacific region. Airlines operating in these regions are focusing on expanding their fleet, in order to cater to the increasing demand. For instance, in early 2019, China Aviation Supplies Holding Company (CAS) signed a General Terms Agreement (GTA) for the purchase of 300 aircraft (290 A320 Family aircraft and 10 A350 XWB Family aircraft). This contract was worth USD 35 billion.
