Nanophotonics is the study of light behavior on a nanometer level (10⁻⁹ of a meter). Nanophotonic components are devices that interact with light-emitting devices at the nanoscale level. Photonics refers to light-emitting devices and can otherwise be known as opto-electronics. Examples of nanophotonic components include optical fibers, optical switches, LEDs, optical amplifiers, PV cells, and holographic memory. The use of nanophotonic technology in these devices is relatively new. The development of nanophotonic materials such as nanotubes, nanowires, plasmons, and quantum dots has enabled the fabrication of nanophotonic semiconductor devices. Nanomaterials have enabled chip manufacturers to develop powerful and miniaturized electronic processors that could perform calculations billions of times faster than conventional silicon-based chip processors.

Remote sensing is one of the most powerful and vital analytical tools of modern science. Previously, remote sensing was used in the instrumentation for space exploration and Earth observation, but recently it has moved further into the commercial market. The end-user segments of this market include the oil and gas industry, wind industry, and weather stations and monitoring sites.

Non-residential humidifiers are used to maintain the suitable moisture content of environmental air in manufacturing facilities, office buildings, clean rooms, data centers, laboratories, and hospitals. The need for humidification of the environment in commercial and industrial facilities is driven by manufacturing process stabilization, the need for a comfortable and healthy work environment in office buildings, or meeting industry indoor air quality (IAQ) codes.

Evolution in technology and increased R&D for technological innovations by vendors in the healthcare robotics sector have paved the way to introduce patient monitoring and assistance robots. There are two major dynamics that have impacted the healthcare robotics and the adoption over the years. One is the aging population across the globe, which will not only increase the number of patients but also lead to the retirement of the current care staff and nursing professional in hospitals and other healthcare facilities like nursing homes. The other factor is the globalization of healthcare. Healthcare professionals are increasingly using technologies like telepresence robots to consult physicians and specialists in other countries to deliver efficient and speedy healthcare services. This implies that the market for patient monitoring and assistance robots will see a surge during the forecast period.

投资策略：从产业发展格局看，家电需求总体上走向由量转质的新阶段，消费升级、新品类导入、渠道电商化及城镇化是推动家电发展的主要动力；从企业发展战略看，那些推行高端化竞争策略形成双寡头垄断格局的领导型企业是主要的追逐对象；就牛熊周期的相 对表现看， 2013年以来的5年行业累计收益率达220%，而上证综 指收益率仅39%。家电是一个牛市略微跑输大盘、熊市大幅跑赢大 盘的防守反击型板块。尽管家电过去1年涨幅不小，但连续2年的利润增长消化了估值风险。

The global commercial oven market is segmented on the basis of product type into convection ovens, conveyor ovens, deck ovens and brick ovens. Convection ovens segment will dominate the market during the forecast period. It held 35.92% of the total commercial oven market share in 2016 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.03% during the forecast period. The popularity of convection ovens in the global commercial oven market is due to its compactness, increased operational efficiency, and enhanced baking technology.

Automotive sunroofs may be fixed, vent, or sliding roofs that allow light and fresh air to enter the vehicle and also protects against the sun and wind. They can be operated manually or can be driven by motors. They are available in different sizes, shapes, and styles. The first company to come up with sunroof as a standard fitment was Nash Motors Company in 1937. In the subsequent decades, sunroofs became a premium feature among the ultra-luxury vehicles. During the 1990s, sunroofs gradually made way into premium and mid-segment cars as the large-scale investments by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and component manufacturers made it relatively affordable. Currently, many companies are coming up with sunroofs as a standard fitment, which can be operated manually or electronically. While manual sunroofs use levers for the sliding motion, electronically operated sunroofs use motor-driven cables. Most sunroofs that are currently available are electronically driven. Sunroof systems can be factory installed or can be installed aftermarket.

EVs are not the pollution panacea anymore. At least those that obtain power from the power grids are not. Recent reality checks by rationalists worldwide have sharply debunked the myth of the all-encompassing EV solution to vehicular pollution. Although EVs do not emit harmful gases, coal and oil and gas are produced by dirty, pollutive means (read: conventional coal or oil and gas). This has been calculated to roughly equal (or sometimes exceed) that what a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) car does. Therefore, EVs contribute to the destruction of the environment, maybe far more than the pollution caused by conventional cars do.
