Pneumatic seals are used in pneumatic components like cylinders and valves that are used in applications that involve rotary or reciprocating motions. The seals are used in devices or components that work in low pressure. Minimal lubrication is used in pneumatic seals to ensure a tight seal so that they can be used in devices or components that are exposed to high operating speeds at low pressure. The pressure range of pneumatic seals ranges between 1 and 150 pound-force psi.

Patient monitoring equipment with specialized versions are used to monitor physiological signs. These devices are either used as bed-side monitors or as remote patient monitors. Remote patient monitoring is one of the key factors for the buying criteria of the patient monitoring equipment in the market. Hence, vendors are developing technologically advanced products that can be integrated with smartphones and applications, which can send test results on time and provide better patient care service. For instance, Dexcom developed the Dexcom G5 mobile continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device, a mobile system, that sends glucose readings to a compatible smartphone every 5 minutes. In October 2014, the company received the FDA approval for its mobile application Dexcom SHARE, which is used in Dexcom G4 PLATINUM CGM system.

Packaged refrigeration systems are gaining momentum as they provide substantial cost, space, and time advantages. Packaged refrigeration systems of all individual systems in-factory as opposed to filed fitted systems, which are completed on-site, require only electrical and piping services. As the fabrication of these systems can be completed before hand, they can be instrumental in reducing the overall delivery timeline. Packaged refrigeration systems are manufactured in a controlled environment, which helps to ensure higher standards of quality control. The ease of customizing these systems in relation to the required application is a major factor that will drive the demand. This reduces designing and adaption cost of single elements, as well as installation time and cost on-site. Also, these systems can be manufactured in almost all sizes, requiring minimal on-site connections. Also, the flexibility in the use of refrigerants and compressors will also encourage their adoption. Services such as commissioning are available from one source.

An oscilloscope is a testing and measuring device used to monitor voltage or current passed to or from an electronic component or device. Oscilloscopes were originally available only in analog; however, digital versions of these devices are available currently. A digital oscilloscope requires an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to convert voltage into digital information. It stores these signals as a series of samples until they reassemble as a waveform that displays the information on the screen. Digital oscilloscopes also store the processed signals in a digital format for future reference.

Noise is a fluctuation in an electrical signal exhibited by all the electronic circuits. Noise produced by electronic devices varies as it is produced by several different effects. For effective noise suppression in electronic equipment, the design engineers should require a good understanding of the different types of EMI suppression filters and the features so that they can use suitable components. The filtering characteristics of EMI suppression filters are significantly dependent on the construction, as various products are available in the market and it is difficult to understand all of them.

The global manufacturing industry today has become intensely competitive. Reduction in manufacturing cost and in-process times have become the need of the hour. Multitasking machine tools were developed owing to the growing competition and the emphasis on cost reduction, which made it necessary to develop a production system that could produce a wide variety of components to cater to the fluctuations in demand while requiring smaller floor areas.

The global molecular spectroscopy market will grow at a rate of 6.25% during the forecast period, primarily due to an increase in the number of chronic diseases globally, which is driving the need for faster detection and drug development using molecular spectroscopy technologies such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Raman. Molecular spectroscopy technologies are increasingly being used in drug discovery and clinical testing processes owing to the rise of the global pharmaceutical industry.

The growth in the global mobile phone turbo chargers market is largely governed by the growth in unit shipments of smartphones and tablets across the globe. The year 2016 recorded 1,599.1 million unit shipments of smartphones and 181.81 million unit shipments of tablets worldwide. The global unit shipments of smartphones will reach 2,159.7 million by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 6.19% during the forecast period. Similarly, the unit shipments of tablets across the globe will reach 293.78 million by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 10.07% during the forecast period. The increase in unit shipments of smartphones and tablets will directly contribute to the growth of the global mobile phone turbo chargers market during the forecast period.

The countertop model of the meat grinder and mincer is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The global countertop meat grinder and mincer segment will experience a CAGR of 7.77% from 2016 to 2021. The compact design and improved features of the countertop meat grinder and mincer models have propelled the growth of this segment. For instance, some of the vendors such as Hobart, Sirman, and Minerva Omega group are providing high-quality products with improved features, which include a reverse switch for reducing the jamming. Some of the vendors are also providing ventilated motors to improve the air circulation inside the motor chamber, which reduces burnouts in the meat grinder and mincer.

Conduction, radiation, natural, forced convection, and thermal storage are the five thermal processes that take place in a micro speaker. Conduction refers to the transfer of heat from a hot source to a colder sink via a physical path. In a micro speaker, heat is conducted from the voice coil. The conduction takes place in the air gap in between the magnet, voice coil, and the magnet circuitry. Radiation transfers the heat through emission at a higher temperature. The general working temperature of a micro speaker is below 212̊ F. At lower frequencies, the micro speaker membrane motion forces the heat and the air from the speaker to the ambience via the ventilation holes. Thus, the membrane pumps the air in and out of the micro speaker.
