Vision guided robots are autonomous mobile robots installed with both cameras and sensors, thereby forming a vision system. The vision systems help robots to identify their path by avoiding obstacles and work autonomously without human assistance. The introduction of vision guided robots in industrial applications has streamlined the operations to a great extent. Incorporation of vision systems, such as 2D and 3D vision, in industrial robots have made them independent and free from human intervention. This has also helped the industries to work effectively on the economies of scale, thereby making the operations more cost-effective.

An outage management system (OMS) is a software system that is used to reduce the outage time and allocate the necessary resources for restoring power. OMS is combined with an interactive voice response (IVR) to which the customer calls to report an outage; the system infers the location of the caller. The data are sent to the OMS to map the outage across the geographical area and identify the assets and sections impacted by the outage.

A heat exchanger is a device that allows heat transfer. Currently, OEMs are focusing on ensuring the maximum transfer of heat while keeping the size minimum.

Satellite propulsion systems are used to accelerate/power a satellite into the orbit. They can be chemical, hybrid, or all-electric.

Acyl CoA Desaturase (Fatty Acid Desaturase or Delta 9 Desaturase or Stearoyl CoA Desaturase or SCD or EC 1.14.19.1) - Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 is a protein encoded by the SCD gene. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 plays an important enzyme in fatty acid metabolism. Alteration in SCD1 expression changes the fatty acid profile of these lipids and produces diverse effects on cellular function. High SCD1 expression is correlated with metabolic diseases such as obesity and insulin resistance, whereas low levels are protective against these metabolic disturbances. SCD1 is also involved in the regulation of inflammation and stress in distinct cell types, including B-cells, adipocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, and myocytes. Complete loss of SCD1 expression has been implicated in liver dysfunction and several inflammatory diseases such as dermatitis, atherosclerosis, and intestinal colitis.

Fiberscopes consist of a flexible insertion tube equipped with fiber optic glass rods, a camera, and ports that allow the user to access and visualize the unreachable section of a machine or human body. The healthcare sector held the major share of the fiberscope market. The industrial, military, and law enforcement sectors also contribute significantly to the market. Depending on the requirement, the user can select a fiberscope based on the diameter of the fiber optic tube.

Graphene a compound of carbon atoms is assumed to be eco-friendly and has limitless applications such as transparent conductive films, field effect transistors, and lithium-ion battery additive. It is preferred in the production of supercapacitors due to its high electronic conductivity at 1,738 siemens per meter (compared with activated carbon's electronic conductivity of 100 siemens per meter). Laser scribed graphene supercapacitors are highly flexible, quick to charge, lightweight, and extremely thin.

The cutting edge in the cutting tool consists of a separate piece of material called a tool insert, which is either brazed or clamped on the tool body. The insert is generally made of materials such as carbide, CBN, and ceramic inserts.

Core Materials Market for Composites by Type (Foam, Honeycomb, and Balsa), End-Use Industry (Aerospace, Wind Energy, Marine, Transportation, Construction), and Region - Global Forecasts to 2022

Organizations procure train-the-trainer programs to provide training skills to their in-house instructors. Train-the-trainer workshops and courses improve the training capabilities of trainers. These courses cover technical and non-technical aspects of the training knowledge. Such courses empower in-house instructors to acquire skills for them to be able to effectively fulfill training requirements in the future.
