Inkjet print heads are integrated into printers for prints such as black and white print, color print, and digital imaging. There are two types of printers — impact printers and non-impact printers. Impact printers such as dot matrix printers use an impact to produce text and images on paper. They use print heads that strike the surface of ink ribbons, pressing these ribbons against the paper. Non-impact printers such as inkjet and laser printers produce text and images on paper without mechanical impact on the paper.

Parenteral nutrition refers to the IV infusion of a formula into the blood stream, where total parenteral infusion is the provision of complete nutritional requirement intravenously. Parenteral nutrition can be delivered either centrally, that is into the superior vena cava, or peripherally, that is into other veins. Intestinal obstruction, gut failure, or a complete inability to gain enteral access are some of the situations in which parenteral nutrition is considered imperative to meet an individual's nutritional requirements.

Labels are printed pieces of paper, film, polymer, or other materials affixed to a product or imprinted on the package or the body of a product that provide important information about the product and the company. Labeling equipment is used to dispense and apply the label to a container, package, or product. Some labeling equipment is not only used for dispensing and applying but also for printing the labels. Pressure-sensitive labeling equipment, in-mold equipment, and heat-shrink labeling equipment are some of the labeling equipment types available in the market.

Most industries include certain safety hazards, which can prove fatal to the employees. The use of PPE protects employees from injuries and helps reduce employer liability along with financial costs. According to the estimates by the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the return on investment for $1 spent on PPE by an employer is $4 in the form of reduced injuries and improved employee productivity. According to Canadian Standards Association standards, a worksite should be assessed for potential work hazards. Mandatory government regulations and the rising awareness of safety risks prompt employers to purchases PPE.

In 1911, H.K. Onnes — a Dutch physicist — discovered superconductivity. The physicist discovered superconductivity by cooling mercury metal to extremely low temperature and observing that the metal exhibited zero resistance to electric current. Before 1973, many other metals and metal alloys were observed to behave as superconductors at temperatures below -250°C. These materials are known as low temperature superconductor (LTS) materials. Since the 1960s, niobium-titanium (Ni-Ti) alloy has been the material of choice for commercial superconducting magnets.

A document scanner converts content on the paper in a digital format that can be stored on PCs or cloud. Document scanners are used in homes and offices due to their versatility, reliability, and ease of use. For businesses going digital, these specific units help save crucial office real estate and capital costs while taking care of employees’ need for peripherals to improve productivity.

Analog X-ray systems: Analog X-ray systems consist of three major components: intensifying screen, X-ray film, and light-proof housing (or cassette). The analog system performs the qualitative and diagnostic assessment of an image by using negatoscopes, which define parameters according to appropriate lighting conditions such as "No more than 50 lux" and the luminance of emitted light.

The automotive industry is witnessing structural changes since the past decade in the form of engine downsizing, electrification of automotive mechanism, emission regulations, connectivity, and safety. The industry is directly correlated with the economic environment and consumer confidence. The industry had witnessed a downfall during the 2008 sub-prime crisis with automotive sales plummeting along with the major North American OEMs facing financial troubles. During 2010-2012, the industry recovered from the sub-prime crisis with automotive sales reaching to prerecession levels in North America.
