With the developments in the orthopedic market, there has been an emergence of product offerings, which facilitate robotic and computer-assisted surgeries. Such products are gaining traction due to the increase in the demand for musculoskeletal disorders across all the age groups, and the increased demand for procedures that enhance precision and eliminate any revisions. As opposed to open surgeries, the forecast period is expected to see a burgeoning demand for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS), which improve functional outcomes and reduce recovery times and hospital stays for patients.

Outdoor flooring is an element that provides outdoor areas with attractive and durable floor covering. There are a number of flooring options that can provide an elegant design to the outdoor area. The different types of outdoor flooring are as follows: Outdoor floor tiles: A wide range of tile types are available that are formulated specifically for outdoor application. Many tiles feature grit pattern and texture to make the surface anti-slippery. The frost resistant and unglazed tiles are highly popular in this segment.

Chia seeds have a fine coat that can be easily digested. They have a neutral flavor and can be used to improve the nutrition and texture of baked goods, bread, confectionary, cereals, yogurts, and beverages. Chia seeds have a shelf life of over three years. They are oval-shaped seeds that encapsulate omega-3 oils and protect them from oxidization.

Printing inks can be liquids or pastes that contain essential components such as pigments, resins, solvents, and additives (lubricants, solubilizers, surfactants, and fluorescents). Printing inks are used in the packaging, publishing, and promotion industries and are deployed through various printing processes such as flexography, lithography, digital printing, and gravure.

Phase change memory (PCM) stores data by changing the state of matter from which the device is fabricated. It can exist in two states and is a reversible structural phase. PCM is known to have a fast read access time, good data retention, and high data density. The design of phase changing materials consists of narrow electrodes called the heater, which is placed between the two electrodes. Chalcogenide is a widely used material in PCM. When chalcogenide is heated and cooled, it retains an amorphous state. This state is highly resistive and represents a logical 0. When amorphous chalcogenide is heated and then cooled rapidly, it changes to a crystalline state, which is less resistive and is represented as logical 1. A write operation is performed in the set and reset to write the logical 1 or 0 in the memory cell.

The global PACS market is witnessing continuous technological developments and innovations. The Americas was the major revenue contributor to the market in 2016, with the US dominating the market in the region. It was followed by EMEA There is, however, a huge opportunity for the market in APAC to grow at a faster rate and increase its revenue contribution during the forecast period.

The past century saw the dominance of fossil fuels as the chief source of energy for the sustenance of the global economic machinery. Among these fuels, crude oil has controlled almost all the aspects of the energy business. It is defined as a mixture of compounds composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen in varying proportions with the presence of inorganic compounds such as nitrogen, sulfur, and metals like vanadium and mercury. Crude oil is found in specific rock formations, called reservoirs, deep in the earth's crust. The depth at which these reservoirs occur can vary significantly from pools, which flow up to the surface to almost 15,000 meters underground. The method employed to get to these reservoirs of black gold is through drilling the surface until it reaches the pre-defined depth.

Packaging sacks are standardized, flexible bulk bags used for industrial packaging of dry, lose, or granulated materials. They are used for protecting, storing, transporting, and handling of goods in large quantities from manufacturing centers to distribution centers, where they are packaged for customers. Packaging sacks are made using plastic, paper, or jute in different weights and strength parameters. The containers are suitable for numerous applications required in the construction, chemical, and food sectors. The market is characterized by innovative offerings and customizations aligned with specifications provided by the customers.

Fillers are particles that are added to materials such as plastics, concrete, and composites. These materials reduce the consumption of the binder material and improve some properties of the polymer. They are mainly used to lower the cost of material, increase density, improve thermal conductivity, and enhance other properties.

CT uses a combination of computer-processed multiple X-ray images taken from different angles to generate cross-sectional images that can be reformatted in multiple panes and can even produce 3D images. This technique provides high-quality images of the internal organs of the human body as compared with the traditional X-ray technique. CT scanning can facilitate the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, trauma and musculoskeletal disorders, appendicitis, and complex medical conditions such as cancer.
