HEVs combine two energy sources, mechanical (ICE) and electrical, to achieve better fuel economy and performance. These vehicles have a smaller gasoline engine than traditional vehicles. They use efficient technologies such as regenerative braking that charges the battery by converting kinetic energy into electric energy. Many HEVs have start-stop systems that shutdown the ICE when the vehicle is idle and restarts it whenever needed, thereby reducing idle emissions.

Intermodal transportation uses different modes of transportation to move goods from one place to another. Companies rely more on intermodal transportation for the shipment of automotive parts, consumer goods, and heavy vehicles. The main reasons for the increased use of intermodal transportation are improved efficiency, cost reduction, and environmental impact. According to the Intermodal Association of North America, there was a 33% increase in shipping by intermodal rail in 2010 from the previous year. Rail-road transportation is the most important and common mode of intermodal transportation for freight, and approximately 41% of the total intermodal freight is transported by this mode. It offers many advantages over other modes of transportation such as it is cost-efficient and easy to track, there are few idle periods, and it offers door-to-door delivery, a quicker delivery time, the safety of the cargo, and the ability to use different routes. The intermodal freight transportation industry is also introducing some major advances in technology such as ICT, computerized vehicle routing, active traffic management, and online freight exchange.

Similar to a mechanical water meter, a smart water meter is connected to a data logger that continuously monitors a building's or home's water consumption. However, whereas traditional water meters only measure total consumption, smart water meters are Internet-capable devices that record when and how much water is being used, providing real-time information that enables companies and individual consumers to understand and monitor their water consumption. Smart water meters help water utilities, in particular, to manage their water networks more efficiently and provide better customer service, chiefly by allowing them to accurately determine water consumption at peak periods. For instance, washing machines create pulses when in use, which are logged by a data logger in a predefined frequency. User-defined parameters, such as flow rate, time, and volume, disaggregate the information provided by these pulses and assign them to different water-use "events." These events are then retrieved by the smart water meter, so that water consumption or wastage can be measured and controlled. Smart water meter information can be represented as exhibited below:

Power systems are used in all telecommunication installations for controlling, monitoring, and measuring the flow of power across telecom networks. These systems are made up of a combination of smaller systems such as converters, distributors, controllers, and backup systems that bear different technical specifications. The primary application of telecom power systems is in wireless and fixed-line environments. They are used in several other related applications including network equipment, xDSL terminals, mobile broadband, cellular sites, and transmission applications.

NGS technology is used to sequence millions of small fragments of DNA simultaneously. The technology is similar to capillary electrophoresis, where the bases of a small fragment of DNA are sequentially identified from signals emitted and each fragment is resynthesized from a DNA template strand. The major difference is the NGS process is extended across millions of reactions in a parallel fashion rather than being restricted to a single or a few DNA fragments. NGS technology enables rapid sequencing of large stretches of DNA base pairs spanning entire genomes with highly sophisticated instruments capable of producing hundreds of gigabytes of data in a single sequencing run. NGS finds application in whole-genome, exome, and transcriptome sequencing. NGS coupled with bioinformatics tools has revolutionized cancer research, diagnosis, and therapy. This technology helps to track and trace the spread of disease and foreign contaminants in drugs.

Semiconductor foundries manufacture ICs based on the designs provided by fabless semiconductor companies. Fabless semiconductor companies design and sell hardware devices and semiconductor chipsets but outsource the fabrication process of those devices to semiconductor foundries. A semiconductor foundry is also known as a semiconductor fabrication plant, or fab.

Urinary incontinence is any involuntary urine leakage. It may occur as a result of an abnormal function of the lower urinary tract, an overactive bladder, or other illnesses. It is estimated that about 50% of women suffer from urinary incontinence at some point in their lives. In men, the prevalence is 5%, and most cases are related to prostate disease. The severity depends on the psychological, physical, and social well-being of the affected individuals.

Agricultural films are new-age films that are a component of modern farming technologies used to increase farm productivity. They are generally made from a variety of plastic resins such as different grades of PE, EVA, PVC, and PVOH. They offer a wide range of benefits in mulching, silage, and greenhouse applications such as soil temperature and moisture control, elimination of weeds, enabling lesser use of herbicides, storage and growth of crops in greenhouses, and prevention of soil erosion, in addition to protecting cattle fodder in silage bales. But, owing to disposal and pollution hazards, they are facing competition from non-biodegradable alternatives. The key customers of agricultural films are crop growers, processors, and retail packagers, who are the major stakeholders across the agricultural and horticultural sectors.

Over the years, IT has become an integral component in most organizations. It aids in the integration of global e-commerce, global distribution networks, and other critical business processes. The effective implementation of IT in an organization requires high levels of flexibility, cost efficiency, and performance across its IT infrastructure. Traditional non-converged IT infrastructure cannot efficiently meet the storage requirements of organizational data and rapid application deployments. However, converged infrastructure can overcome these drawbacks by central management of an organization's network, computation, storage, visualization, and applications.
