Meat and poultry processing equipment is used by manufacturers of meat and poultry products for processing meat using techniques such as blending, homogenization, pasteurization, and filling. Processing of food helps in removal of toxins and preservation. Processed food offers advantages such as enhanced taste, low risk of contamination, enhanced shelf life, and a high degree of portability.

The global massage equipment market was valued at $18.32 billion in 2016, and it is likely to grow at a CAGR of 5.88% to reach $24.38 billion by 2021. The market was dominated by the Americas in 2016, which accounted for a revenue share of 45.42%. The demand for handheld massagers has increased in the past three years because of the rise in awareness among the global population about professional and premium massagers. Professional massagers are known for providing quality results to individuals and are comparatively expensive. Massagers are primarily prevalent in the market based on their massage mechanisms such as natural, organic, acupressure, shiatsu, ultrasonic, hypoallergic, homeopathic, and aromatherapy. Inexpensive electric massagers attract much of the end-users in developing countries. Countries like the US and the UK are the major revenue contributors to the global massage equipment market.

Managed industrial Ethernet switches are increasing their presence in the industrial communication market due to their network prioritization capabilities and due to the increase in the highly critical process applications. The functionality of an Ethernet switch is defined by IEEE 802.1D, which describes the architecture and the set of functions distributed throughout this architecture. In addition to the handling of user data communication, these switches also provide a set of network managementrelated functionality.

Various industries, ranging from coal desulfurization to metal production have been using magnetic separation as an essential part of their processes for decades. Magnetic separation filters are used to remove magnetic impurities in continuous flow processes. Magnetic separation techniques like high-gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) have broadened the application base of MSE to industries such as food processing and industrial wastewater treatment. In addition, the applications have expanded to include niche industries like biotechnology where batch-scale magnetic separators are used for the purification of complex mixtures in cell separation, protein isolation, drug delivery, and biocatalysis.

Marine outboard engines are generally used in powerboats. Almost all powerboats are now equipped with either inboard or outboard engines. The demand for outboard engines is more than inboard engines. In Europe, 80% of the total engines used are outboard engines. In the US, the demand for outboard engines is on the same line as in Europe. In Europe, the demand for diesel engines is more, whereas the American market is dominated by gasoline engines. Another major difference between these markets is that consumers in the European market prefer low power output outboard engines, whereas consumers in the US prefer high power output outboard engines.

Laser refers to light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, which produces a coherent, collimated, and monochromatic beam of light by exciting atoms to a higher energy level. Lasers are distinguished from other light sources by their coherence. Spatial coherence property of laser enables it to stay narrow over great distances and allows it to be focused on a tight spot. As a result of these properties, they are widely used in applications such as laser pointers, laser cutting, and lithography. Lasers are classified based on the type of lasing medium they use such as gas, optical fiber, solid state, and semiconductor.

LFPs (also known as wide-format printers) are printers that support maximum print roll width of 18 inches to 100 inches. The major areas where LFPs find application include print banners, posters, backdrop for theaters, constructional designs, and different other large-format artworks. Most of the LFPs available currently are based on inkjet printing technology. Aqueous, solvent, dye sublimation, UV, and pen/plotters are the technologies used to transfer ink in LFPs. Advances in technology across different components of LFPs, such as ink and working mechanism, are the factors that have enhanced their efficiency and productivity. The global LFPs market is witnessing an increase in demand from application areas, such as advertising, textile, and vehicle wraps, and these are expected to be the key factors driving the market growth during the forecast period.

Adaptive optics technology helps improve the performance of optical systems by decreasing the effect of wavefront distortions. The deformations in the incoming wavefront are corrected by adaptive optics by deforming a mirror to compensate the distortion. 

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.
