The term "extremity" is generally used to refer to a person's limbs and related parts. Upper extremities include the shoulders, hands, elbows, forearms, wrists, and fingers. Lower extremities consist of the feet, toes, ankles, knees, shins, and thighs. The extremity products are used to treat, repair, replace, or heal extremity injuries such as fractures or damage. These products include external recovery braces, surgical implants, joint replacements, biologics, and external support implants.

The global still images market is likely to grow at a CAGR of 7.76% in terms of value and 5.4% in terms of volume during 2016-2021.

The global market for welding respiratory systems is expected to be driven by the increasing demand from key end-user industries such as manufacturing and construction. Stringent and comprehensive safety regulations also drive the growth of the market. However, the emergence of new and advanced welding techniques poses a challenge to the market as these techniques involve less manual input, which reduces the exposure time. Respiratory protection including welding respiratory protection is among the top-five violations cited by OSHA. Such high non-compliance is mainly due to wearer discomfort as well as negligence of worker safety. Another factor restricting market growth is the regular maintenance required for various components of respiratory protection equipment. Most employees fail to maintain the components of equipment including valves, tubes, cartridges, and facepiece, which is an integral factor for the efficient performance of equipment.

Snoring is the vibration of the respiratory channel in the human body that results in the generation of sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing in the sleep. In some of the cases, the sound may be soft, but in some cases, the sound could be loud and unpleasant. Snoring during sleep may be a first alarm of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The research study suggests that snoring is one of the factors of sleep deprivation.

The global industrial wireless sensors market is extremely dynamic, with the rapid technological advances strengthening its products and applications. The need for monitoring and analyzing real-time data is one of the major factors spurring the use of industrial wireless sensors. These industrial sensors are transducers that alter a physical quantity into electrical signals. The signal indications are processed through an electronic automation system and portray physical variations or error signals in the device or instrument. Based on this, industrial wireless sensors are classified into the following types: flow, temperature, pressure, gas sensors, and others.

The rising number of concerts and live performances is a major driver for the growth of the global guitar market. The growing interest in music among the youth population has led to the formation of numerous musical bands that perform various types of music like blues, pop, rock, metal, and electronica. In addition, an increase in the disposable income of consumers is leading to a high demand for guitars in developing countries such as China and India. As a result of changing lifestyles and higher standards of living, individuals are motivated to spend on leisure activities such as music, which is likely to increase sales of musical instruments.

The past century has seen the dominance of fossil fuels as the chief source of energy worldwide. The sustenance of the global economic machinery is dependent on these fuels. Crude oil is one such commodity that has controlled almost all the aspects of the energy business. Crude oil can be defined as the mixture of compounds that primarily consists of carbon and hydrogen in varying proportions, along with the presence of inorganic compounds such as nitrogen, sulfur, and metals like vanadium and mercury. Crude oil is found in specific rock formations known as reservoirs in the earth's crust. The depth at which these reservoirs occur can vary significantly from pools, which flow up to the surface to almost 15,000 meters from underground. These reservoirs of black gold are accessed by drilling through the surface till the pre-defined depth is reached.

An MFP is an integrated device that can perform multiple functions like printing, scanning, and photocopying. Some MFPs also have fax functionality. However, the fax functionality is not considered as a norm for MFPs, as it is no longer popular in the document solutions market. MFPs are used in homes and offices (small offices to large enterprises) due to their vast applications in the field of document solutions. These MFPs are available in different sizes typically based on the print or photocopying requirement. For businesses, MFPs help to reduce capital costs and provide flexibility, as they eliminate the need for multiple devices and peripherals such as copiers, printers, and scanners in business environments.

Ion implantation is a major process carried out to introduce dopants in a semiconductor. Implanters bombard wafers with foreign atoms to modify material properties such as conductivity or crystal structure. The main part of an implanter system is the beam path, wherein the ions are generated, concentrated, accelerated, and passed at high speed to the wafer. The conductivity of semiconductor devices such as silicon, germanium, and III-VI compounds (e.g., gallium arsenate) is altered by doping them with n or p type dopants. Out of the two methods used for doping semiconductors, diffusion and ion implantation, the diffusion was the most preferred method before the 1970s. However, doping processes by ion implantation are being preferred for IC fabrication currently.

The global hot plate stirrer market will grow steadily at a rate of 6.07% during the forecast period. This is primarily due to the expansion and increase in the number of research and testing facilities worldwide that use laboratory instruments like hot plate stirrers. Also, there is an increase in the number of applications where magnetic stirrers like hot plate stirrers are employed. Hot plate stirrers are widely used in the applications such as heating and stirring of samples in the pharmaceutical industry, and practical science demonstration and experimentation in schools and universities (academic research). These are also increasingly employed in quality control (QC) testing and sample preparation in a broad range of industrial applications. In addition, globally, end-users are upgrading to obtain benefits and advantages offered by the 2017-2021 latest hot plate stirrers or on the compulsion of governing bodies to use latest hot plate stirrers to meet the safety standards.
