Head-up display (HUD) is a latest technology, developed to assist drivers and pilots to view dashboard data in their field of view. This technology enables users to receiveimportant messages or required information while driving or flying, thus ensuringtheir safety. HUD systems are satisfying the security, safety, comfort and entertainment requirements of its users. HUDs are widely used in commercial and defence airplanes, automobiles and gaming applications. In airplanes, HUDs display the information regarding position, radar information, flight path, acceleration and real-time position, which helps pilots to react in time. This innovation has slowly made its way into the automotive industry and is currently being considered among the most prominent driver assistance systems.

Food preservatives are ingredients added to food to prevent decomposition by reducing microbial growth. Preservatives in food help maintain its freshness and shelf life. Food preservatives are classified into two categories, viz. Class 1 preservatives or natural preservatives and Class 2 preservatives or chemical preservatives. Natural preservatives include salt, vinegar, spices, honey and syrup. Chemical preservatives include sorbates, nitrates of potassium, glycerides and benzoates. Both natural and chemical preservatives are divided into three types - antimicrobials, antioxidants and anti-enzymatic preservatives.

Food grade lubricants refer to lubricants that are used to maintain the food processing machinery, i.e. it protects the tools and machines from wear and tear. However, since many of them come into direct contact with food, these lubricants used in these machineries need to be different from the usual machine lubricants. In other words, they should not render the food unfit for consumption. With recent advances in the food processing industry, there is now much variety in the machinery used to process each food/beverage category. With growing concern over the food we eat, food processors need to comply with various regulatory frameworks like the Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP). The standards vary from country to country. However, these are internationally accepted standards which are followed by food grade lubricant manufacturers. For instance, the non-profit public health and safety company, NSF International, along with USDA, has set standards for various food grade lubricants.

Artificial sweeteners are synthetically produced sugar substitutes that are sweet in taste. Some of the major artificial sweeteners include aspartame, acesulfame-K, monosodium glutamate, saccharin and sodium benzoate. Second generation artificial sweeteners include sucralose and neotame. Artificial sweeteners are also called "intense sweeteners" as they are many times sweeter than the regular sugar. For instance, neotame is 8000 times sweeter than sugar. These are potential alternatives to sugar as they add virtually no calories to one's diet and help maintain low blood sugar levels. Additional advantages reflect in pricing and labelling.
