Acoustic devices have been in commercial use for more than 60 years. The telecom industry is the largest consumer of acoustic devices, accounting for 3 billion filters of acoustic sensors annually. These acoustic sensors are used primarily in mobile phones and base stations.

This report covers the current scenario and prospects of the global amplifier and comparator market during 2016-2021. It considers the use of amplifiers and comparators across different sectors in the market. It also presents the major vendors that manufacture amplifiers and comparators across North America, EMEA, and APAC.

To treat cardiac diseases such as CAD, physicians perform angiography, which requires catheterization to provide diagnostic and therapeutic treatments. Most of the cardiac catheterization procedures involve access through the femoral and radial arteries. Cardiac catheterization through the femoral artery is a traditional procedure, and is preferred by many physicians. However, many physicians are shifting toward radial artery-based catheterization access as traditional procedures have many complications that can even cause death in certain cases.

Oxygen therapy devices are an integral part of respiratory disease management and other diverse therapy areas. The global oxygen therapy devices market has been witnessing continuous technological innovations and developments over the years. The global oxygen therapy devices market is growing at a steady rate and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.90% in the forecast period.

Ophthalmic laser systems are the technologically advanced systems in the field of ophthalmology. These therapeutic and diagnostic devices are used to treat many ophthalmic disorders such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, diabetic retinopathy, tumors, glaucoma, retinal disorders, and vision correction issues. These devices, which are MI, offer ophthalmologists with accuracy and precision during surgeries and help in reducing the duration of recovery and hospital stay as well as lower the risk of infections associated with surgeries. The prevalence of ophthalmic disorders such as AMD, cataract, and diabetic retinopathy is on the rise. The availability of advanced ophthalmic laser systems will help treat the rising incidence of these disorders. Eye disorders and vision impairment often lead to chronic and life-long direct and indirect costs, which are likely to increase during the forecast period.

Plastic processing machinery is used to create plastic products using pellets, granules, and powdered forms of raw materials such as resin and crude oil. Industrial plastic processing machinery includes machines such as IMMs, extruders, BMMs, hollow molders, 3D plastic printers, and thermal forming machines. Plastic processing machinery finds applications in industries such as packaging, consumer goods, and construction.

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.
