A sonobuoy is a small, expendable sonar system used primarily by naval forces to detect underwater objects such as submarines. Deployed from aircraft or ships, it floats on the ocean surface while its sensors descend underwater to transmit acoustic data back to operators via radio signals. Sonobuoys are essential tools in anti-submarine warfare (ASW), enabling real-time tracking and surveillance of underwater threats. They come in various types, including passive (listening only) and active (sending and receiving sound pulses), and are designed for short-term use in tactical operations.

Social robots are autonomous robots designed to interact and communicate with humans in a socially acceptable manner. They are equipped with advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and communication capabilities to understand and respond to human emotions, speech, and actions. These robots are often used in various settings, such as healthcare, education, customer service, and companionship, to assist, entertain, and engage with people.

The global toilet industry has experienced remarkable advances in recent years, particularly with the rise of smart toilets, which stand out as one of the most innovative developments in home technology. As modern life becomes increasingly intertwined with digital solutions, consumers are placing a higher value on convenience, hygiene, and efficiency in their home appliances.

Smart plugs transform ordinary appliances into smart appliances. They are cost-effective alternatives for smart appliances. Technology is expected to have a high penetration among Millennials. The use of and dependence on devices that can be controlled remotely through a wireless connection is increasing globally, which is a key factor that is driving the growth of the global smart plug market. The need for connectivity is increasing, especially because it allows consumers to control different types of devices and perform tasks remotely. Smart appliances depend on wireless technologies like ZigBee, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, and NFC, as well as the Internet of Things (IoT) and operating systems (OS) like iOS, Android, Azure, and Tizen for command and control by end-users.

A smart home camera is a stand-alone camera that connects to the Internet and can record and simultaneously stream video through the Internet Protocol (IP) network that can be accessed remotely by using smart gadgets such as smartphones and tablets, and PCs (Desktops) and Laptops. The video can be saved to a memory card (if any) installed in the camera device and other digital devices (PCs, laptops, smartphones, and tablets).

Smart home appliances are devices that are equipped with advanced technologies to connect to a network, often through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, allowing remote control, automation, and enhanced functionality. These appliances often integrate with platforms like smartphones, tablets, or voice assistants to perform tasks efficiently and provide convenience, energy savings, or improved security.

Shrink sleeve labels are made from a polymer film that shrinks when heat is applied, conforming tightly to the shape of the container. This type of label offers 360-degree coverage, allowing for vibrant, full-color designs that can wrap around the entire product, making it ideal for complex shapes and sizes. Similarly, stretch sleeve labels are made from a flexible plastic material that stretches to fit over the container without the need for adhesives or heat. These labels are cost-effective and can be easily applied to a variety of container shapes. They are often used for products that require frequent label changes or for containers that are reused.

Semiconductor equipment refers to the machinery and tools used in the production of semiconductor devices. This equipment is essential for various stages of semiconductor manufacturing, including wafer fabrication, assembly, and testing.

Wearables technologies refer to electronic technologies that are embedded in wearables, such as smart bands, smartwatches, smart clothing, and smart rings. Wearable electronic devices are equipped with miniaturized electronic devices such as microchips and sensors, enabling them to perform computing tasks. The electronic devices embedded in wearables collect data and track activities, allowing the wearers to access information in real-time. The scope of the report includes smart bands, smartwatches, smart rings, wireless headphones, smart glasses, smart clothing, and head-mounted displays (HMDs).

Wet gas meters are specialized flow meters designed to measure the flow rate of wet gas, which is a gas that contains a small amount of liquid. These meters are crucial in industries like natural gas production, where accurate measurement of gas flow is essential despite the presence of liquid.
