E2W (electric two-wheeler) is a term used for electric motorcycles, scooters, and bicycles. They are powered by batteries instead of liquid fuel. E2Ws are equipped with a DC motor, controller, battery, and charger, instead of an ICE (internal combustion engine), as used in liquid fuel-powered two wheelers. E2Ws are considered more environment-friendly, as well as a fuel saving alternative in comparison with liquid fuel- powered two-wheelers. They are a sound choice for short-range travel requirements. In the E2W segment, E-scooters are growing in the market.

Carbon brakes were originally used in military aircraft applications due to their low weight and high energy absorption capability. These were made widely available for commercial and civil aircraft in 1980. Historically, the cost association of carbon brakes was much higher than the conventional steel brakes, and their use was restricted to only large long-haul commercial aircraft.

Automobile pollution is a critical issue for governments globally. NOx and CO are the two principle gasses that cause air pollution, which has increased environmental and health concerns. This has led to significant research and development of technologies to reduce emissions and the development of exhaust sensors that can monitor and control vehicle emissions. Exhaust sensors are widely used in all types of automobiles, from passenger cars to HCVs. Among the widely used automobile sensors (O2, NOx, particulate matter, and differential pressure sensors), O2 sensors are mostly found in all automobiles.

The penetration rate of ADAS in commercial vehicles is seeing a notable increase, a trend that has been captured from the passenger cars segment. With growing consumer awareness about safety and emission standards, the consumer behavior has evolved, which has led to the standardization of several ADAS and active safety features even in mid-segment to entry-level passenger cars. While this trend is more prominent in developed regions, developing regions are also experiencing increased penetration levels of ADAS (such as blind spot detection [BSD], adaptive headlights, active braking, and LDWS) in passenger cars segment. Thus, the feature that once formed a part of only high-end cars is now increasingly becoming a commonplace in the passenger cars category.

Cannulation of arteries and veins is a vital aspect of patient care during the administration of medications and fluids for monitoring purposes. This procedure requires nurses and physicians to have knowledge about surface anatomy and palpation for identifying the target vessel. It is performed by inserting a needle until blood is aspirated.

Safety goggles and glasses are products that protect the wearer's eyes from potentially hazardous elements, ranging from airborne particles to chemicals. The global safety goggles and glasses market will be driven primarily by the increasing demand from APAC, where international companies are pioneering stringent safety programs in their countries of operation. A few countries in this region, such as Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, also have well-defined government regulations on worker safety that are contributing to market growth.

Casting designs have evolved over time, and the need for lower weight metal parts has increased, especially in the automotive industry. Small and accurate cores are required to create specialized structures with thin walls as minimum as 4 mm. However, small cores are delicate and liable to crack, which results in scrap production. Fine scraps are usually undetectable until the last stage, even by using techniques like x-ray analysis. Contamination by scraps renders the thin wall castings futile and significantly increases the expenditure of the automotive industry. Hence, small core setting and handling is best undertaken by industrial robots, which can perform this task with delicacy and accuracy. Robots can transport cores to molding machines without any breakage or scrap formation. They ensure accurate setting of the core into the permanent mold.

Neurostimulation devices are gaining acceptance as an alternative therapy for certain chronic pain conditions. These devices have also been used in the management of neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy. The currently available neurostimulators mainly focus on SCS, deep brain stimulation (DBS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), and sacral nerve stimulation (SNS).

Air conditioning is the process of improving air quality in a building or a vehicle by altering the humidity and temperature in the air into more favorable conditions. It involves all forms of technological cooling, heating, ventilation, or disinfection that modifies and enhances air quality.
