A wiper system is an electromechanical component placed on the windshield of automobiles. It is used to enhance the visibility of the windshield by wiping off unwanted sand, dust, and water particles caused by harsh weather conditions such as dust storms, rain, and snow. Rain sensors are used in wiper units of vehicles for automatic wiping. Rain sensing windshield wiper technology is based on the principle of total internal reflection (TIR). The amount of light returning to the sensor depends on the amount of water on the windshield. During a downpour, the amount of light returning to the sensor decreases, thus switching on the wipers automatically; the speed is adjusted according to the heaviness of the rain.

Radar sensors (also known as headway sensors) are a key component of advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs). These sensors are employed to constantly sense (in real-time) the distance between vehicles or between the vehicle and large objects around it, thereby improving driving efficiency and safety. Automotive radar systems are usually employed in ADASs, including

A sensor is a device that detects changes in its immediate environment by picking stimulus changes and updates the system electronically. Sensors are engineered to detect chemical, physical, and process changes. A sensor sends out electronic signals, which are measured and recorded, and based on the information a corrective change is executed. There are many types of automotive sensors, such as pressure sensors, wheel speed sensors, temperature sensors, fluid level sensors, and emission sensors.

Premium audio systems deliver high-performance sound experience using a number of speakers, woofers, and other components. Automotive premium audio systems are those with surround sound, eight or more speakers, and power amplification of 400 watts and more, which offer a theater-like sound experience within the vehicle. These high-performance systems are usually part of the in-vehicle entertainment systems in luxury sedans, SUVs, and vans.

The CMM market is a sub-segment of the metrology market; metrological equipment is used for measuring the dimensional,optical,electromagnetic, mechanical, optical radiation, thermodynamic, and time/frequency parameters of a product. It is used during the product development cycle to obtain accurate measurements and enhance the product quality during manufacture. Metrology equipment is classified into three types: coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), optical digitizers and scanners (ODS),and video measuring machines (VMMs).In this industry research report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global coordinate measuring machine (CMM) market for 2017-2021.

Fuse holders are electronic devices that are used for containing, mounting, and protecting fuses. Fuse holders basically come in two types: open and fully enclosed. Open fuse holders are fuse blocks, clips, plug-in caps, and socket varieties. Fully enclosed fuse holders use a fuse carrier, which is inserted into the holder or some other part to fully enclose the fuse.

Air filters are used to filter the incoming air by trapping particulates such as dust, pollen, mold, smoke, debris, and bacteria from the air. These filters are used in a wide range of applications wherein air quality is crucial. In a building’s HVAC system, air filters are a tangible way to improve IAQ, energy efficiency, and performance of the HVAC system. Air filters work as an defensive component by capturing pollutants generated within a building as well as pollutants from the air drawn into a building through the HVAC system.

A kegerator, also known as a beverage dispenser, is a refrigerator that can store and dispense kegs of draft beer and other beverages. The word kegerator is originated by combining two words: keg and refrigerator. A keg is kept in a refrigerated environment and CO2 is used to pressurize and dispense the keg. Therefore, the content kept in the keg remains carbonated and fresh for an extended period of time, generally a couple of months.

A magnetron is a device used to generate microwave frequencies. A magnetron is also called a high-power microwave oscillator, where the potential energy of an electron cloud is converted into radio frequency energy. Within a magnetron, electrons interact with both electric and magnetic fields, which are applied perpendicular to each other. A typical cavity magnetron consists of a metal cylinder having thick walls with symmetrically positioned 8 to 40 cavities acting as an anode. The cathode is placed at the center and is used to release electrons. The space between the anode and cathode is called an interacting space, where a perpendicular electromagnetic field is applicable. A permanent magnet is also placed at the flipside of the cathode of the magnetron. When the magnetron is energized, the electrons emitted from the cathode move in a diverse path within the interacting space.

A gearbox is a mechanical box that transmits energy from one device to another to reduce speed and generate torque. A gearbox assembly includes various components such as gears, shafts, bearing covers, bearing keys, oil rings, and oil seals.
