The pre-requisite to make healthcare more patient-centered is gaining significance and is based on the evidence that healthcare services should be organized more around the patient rather than the provider. In the era of early diagnosis, disease prevention, and increased focus on controlling HAIs in healthcare facilities, the usage of diagnostic tests to diagnose various HAIs is considered as an important step to initiate various control and preventive measures and thereby minimize the occurrence of HAIs globally. The increasing prevalence of healthcare-associated infections as well as the growing elderly population that is immunocompromised and susceptible to HAIs are expected to be the major drivers for the growth of healthcare-associated infectious disease diagnostics market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the increasing uptake of antibiotics, changing lifestyles, and increasing laboratory automation in HAI diagnostics is expected to boost market growth during the forecast period. At the same time, favorable government initiatives on preventive care are also driving the market in recent years.

Eye injuries in the workplace are very common. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reports that every day about 2,000 US workers sustain job-related eye injuries that require medical treatment. However, safety experts and eye doctors believe the right eye protection can reduce the severity, or even prevent 90%, of these eye injuries. Countries with advanced safety, like the United States, Canada, and much of the European Union, have a respected and sophisticated system of regulations and execution that is designed to add pressure on companies to provide safe workplaces. Developing countries do this only as required, but they have started to create legislation for safe workplaces, better worker housing, environmental protection, etc.

The global peripheral vascular devices market is currently being driven by various factors, including increasing lifestyle changes and the aging population. Also, new product launches and technological innovations in the devices are augmenting the growth of this market. Recently, Intact Vascular Inc., which is a well-known medical device company, had launched the first commercial use of its Tack Endovascular System in multiple sites across the United States, after getting an FDA approval. This device is a first-of-its-kind dissection repair device, which is implanted post-angioplasty to resolve dissections in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Along with such product launches, it has been observed that the market is currently witnessing several technological advancements. For instance, Lithoplasty and Pantheris Lumivascular Atherectomy System are the two latest and novel technologies that are being used in the treatment of PAD. Avinger Inc. stated in July 2018 that several physicians across the United States have successfully treated over 40 patients having PAD with the help of the next-generation Pantheris image-guided atherectomy system.

Millimeter wave is a kind of electromagnetic technology used in various products such as phones, cars, medical devices, and others to ensure wireless broadband communications at a higher speed.

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.
