Iodine is a halogen element with atomic number 53 in the group seven of the periodic table with a shiny lustre and is blue-black in color. It is present in a variety of chemical forms including iodate, iodide and elemental iodine though occurrence of free iodine is mainly found as a diatomic molecule I2. Iodine is abundantly present in seawater though its distribution over water and land is lopsided. Iodines derivatives are extensively applied as an intermediate in industrial chemicals. Iodines scarcity in soils due to low profusion as an earth crust element leads to several deficiency problems in humans as well as animal populations such as mental retardation, goiter, eyesight problems, heart diseases and intellectual disabilities, thus iodine and its compounds are also used in human nutrition. Iodine is also used as a contrast agent in X-ray media due to its relatively low toxicity, high atomic number and ease of adjunction with organic compounds. Moreover, iodine is used as a catalyst in industrial chemical reactions, in biocides, as a feed additive in animal nutrition, as a contrast agent in LED polarizing films among others (water treatment etc.).

A Gesture Recognition System is a perceptual computing user interface, which interprets movement patterns as commands. This system captures commands from the hand and finger gestures or several other parts of the body. This technology operates with the help of camera and sensor device. Camera feeds image data to the sensing device, which then with the help of an infrared sensor, calculates the depth of the movement. The software in the computer identifies the gesture and tries to find a match for that gesture in its predefined gestures library. Command related to that gesture is executed if a match is detected in the library. This technology is used in various places including cars where automotive recognition system can be used to control windows, doors, music system, or the air conditioner.

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Medical Device Coatings (MDC) Market by Coating, Material, and Device Type: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2017-2023," the global MDC market was valued at $11,032 million in 2016, and is projected to reach $17,400 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2017 to 2023. The hydrophilic coating segment is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period.

Events refer to public gathering of populace art a determined time and place for a purpose. The purpose for staging an event can be increasing business profitability, celebratory, entertainment, and community causes among others. Thereby the key stakeholders within the events industry are corporate organizations, public organizations & NGOs, and similar others. The most popular events include conference & exhibition, promotion & fundraising, music & art performance, sports, festival, trade shows, product launch, election campaigns and similar others.

Airless Tires or non-pneumatic tires (NPT) operate without an inner tube & air pressure, and the composite spokes make a flexible ring that is connected to a solid inner hub to hold its shape. These tires have a rigid & complex construction, wherein a shear band is stretched across the spokes and the tread is attached to the shear band mounted on outside hub. An airless tire comprises treads, high-tension steel belts (protector ply, working ply, and transition ply), spokes, and a hub. Airless tires for two-wheelers and passenger cars are yet to be commercialized. However, penetration of airless tires is far higher in heavy commercial vehicles such as backhoes, cranes, and armored vehicles as compared to others. The tubeless tire market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to its advantages such as easy puncture repair, increased comfort for higher speed, lower tire pressure, better bump absorption, and reduced rotating weight as compared to conventional tires.

Chatbot is a computer program used by technology startups to develop a communication link that would work with todays digital generation and provide them with advice, actions, and plans-from what type of savings account/banking products is right for them to what type of investments one needs to make to reach their goals. Chatbots simulate human conversations through AI, but applications are being developed that enable the chatbots to communicate with each other. These bots, setup on various kinds of platforms, ensure overall enquirers satisfaction by solving their queries in the best possible manner.

Power transmission & distribution network forms the backbone of optimal performance of industries in any economy. As the demand for energy increases globally, stakeholders have increased their investments in improving the infrastructure to facilitate the transmission and distribution of electricity. Shunt Reactors are the cost-effective way to meet the demand for power generation in high-voltage power transmission systems over long distances.

Nanowires can be defined as structures that have a diameter of tens of nanometers or less. The surface area of one or both of the electrodes of a normal battery is increased through the use of nanowires; the battery is then called a Nanowire Battery. The conventional graphite anodes used in batteries are replaced with a combination of lithium-ion batteries. The design includes stainless steel anodes covered with silicon nanowire. Germanium anodes can also be used to replace graphite anodes. Both designs enable faster charging and high current delivery. A disadvantage of using both these materials is the expansion which occurs during charging and disintegration after a limited number of cycles. The conductivity of electrons in an atom is affected by unbounded electrons, resulting in electricity being conducted poorly as compared to the bulk material; this is known as the edge effect. The atoms that are not completely bonded to their neighboring atoms and lay at the surface of the nanowire give rise to the edge effect. Nanowire conductivity is strongly influenced by the edge effect. Amprius, a startup company which has been exploring the potential of this new technology, has launched long lasting lithium-ion batteries for laptops and electric vehicles. The working capacity of laptops will increase to 20 hours on a single charge. These batteries are especially useful for engineers working in fields and for businessmen. The third generation product by Amprius will be a huge success in terms of power usage.

Ultra secure smartphones are more secure than regular smartphones as they encrypt all communication, and block unauthorized tracking systems. With these features, the privacy issue associated with Android Smartphones is resolved. In recent times, the public's lifestyle pattern has shifted towards speed and accessibility- everyone uses mobile applications to satisfy basic needs, such as booking tickets for movies or travel. Mobile applications are most often used as search engines for specific requirements. Increasing usage of mobile applications for routine needs gives rise to privacy-related risks. Ultra secure smartphones are designed in such a way as to prevent data leakage from smartphones. Previously, the adoption of secure devices was restricted to individuals who were wealthy or occupied powerful positions. However, security has become a criterion of utmost importance in a customer's selection of smartphones. Customers' inclination towards ultra secure phones is a factor which supplements the growth of the ultra secure smartphone market. The ultra secure smartphone market is in its nascent stage with very few players currently operating in the market. The key companies profiled in the report are Boeing, Geeks phone, Sony and Silent Circle.

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, Wind Turbine Market by Type of Wind Farm and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2016-2023, the wind turbine market was valued at $81,147 million in 2016, and is estimated to reach $134,600 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 7.2% from 2017 to 2023. In 2016, the industrial application segment accounted for around two-thirds share of the total market.
