Compressors are mechanical devices that compress air or gas in a sealed unit and deliver it at the desired pressure levels. Compressors are categorized as air compressors and gas compressors. An air compressor is a device that compresses and pressurizes air and thereby, converts its potential energy into kinetic energy. A gas compressor is a device that reduces the volume of gas to increase its pressure following the principle of Boyle's law. An air compressor is a distinct type of gas compressor. Compressors are used in several applications across the oil and gas, petrochemicals and chemicals, power generation, desalination, water and wastewater treatment, mining and cement, and fertilizers industries. The major types of compressors considered in this report are centrifugal compressors and positive displacement compressors.

Software-defined storage (SDS) is a central part of the software-defined data center (SDDC), which is an emerging information technology (IT). It has been designed for organizations to store business data and to enable the speedy delivery of IT services. In an SDS framework, storage services are delivered as a software layer that can be abstracted from the underlying hardware. SDS solutions eliminate the need for manual configuration of the operational process in the SDDC; these solutions accomplish the objective by according control to the software through the separation of the underlying hardware.

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).

A technology-driven education system like the smart education architecture includes information, resources, and professional development opportunities to support institutions in imparting education to students in a digitally rich environment. In this system, traditional teaching methodologies are transformed to improve the learning process and knowledge delivery. The smart education model uses an array of tools including digital text, graphics, audio-visual, and interactive presentations. These tools allow teachers to demonstrate and communicate easily, improve the teaching process, and engage students in multimedia technologies.

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.

During the past ten years, video surveillance solutions have changed in line with the advances in technology. The biggest development during the period was the shift from VHS to DVD and hi-resolution video. With the increased adoption of high-resolution video standards, there has been a huge demand for data storage. The government sector has started using predictive analytics with surveillance systems to help law enforcement stay abreast of criminal trends.

These products are also used to treat skin infection and allergy. The increase in the aging population and technological innovations are the major drivers for the growth of the market. Skin care products are increasingly becoming more complex and sophisticated with more tailored ingredients, leading to ultra-niche products.

BPM is an approach to improve organizational workflow in a changing environment and help businesses identify, validate, and improve business processes. BPM software is used to simulate, automate, and monitor business processes of an organization. The software helps organizations to determine their future course of action. It increases profitability by optimizing business processes. It has various components such as process designer, process engine, rules engine, and process analytics. The process designer assigns logic to the process after analyzing it, and the process engine allocates automated activities to applications and manual operations to employees.
