ReleaseWire Connect

Wireless power transmission (WPT) or wireless power transfer refers to the transfer of energy or power from one place to another without being connecting through wires. In this, electromagnetic energy is transferred from power sources to electric loads.

Wireless charging is the process of recharging batteries of electrical devices without using physically connected electric cables. The communication between transmitter (power source) and receiver (device) is generally by microwave or electromagnetic induction. With the emergence of wireless chargeable devices, the need to carry multiple chargers for various devices will become obsolete. Chargeable devices such as mobile phones, and tablets need to be handier. Wireless charging technologies are revolutionizing the current electronic devices market to meet the demand for more efficient, standardized,safe and portable power recharging options.

Products in the wearable electronics market comprise electronic devices thatcan be worn by a user. Wearable electronic devices integrates computing and communication and enablesthe user to perform certain tasks with ease. The wearable electronics market is expected to grow ata strong double-digit growth rate over thenext five years (2015–2020). The strong market growth is attributedtovarious factors such as innovativeproduct development in wrist wear, neck wear and footwear, improvement in display qualities, need for faster work operations, and government focus on developments.

Thisstrong growth is attributed to various factors such as the need for faster work operations, government focus on developments, the need foradvanced displays in the video gaming industry, high demand in the aerospace and defence sector and the need forHMD systemsby themilitary. On the other hand, there are various factors negatively affecting growth of the HMD market such as high price of HMDs, limitedbattery life and latency.

A flexible electronic device can be easily folded or twisted without getting damaged. Flexible electronics market deals with the advanced form of electronic devices. These devices have a broad application in various sectors, such as the military & defence, consumer electronics, healthcare & medical and energy & power generation.

Styrofoam is a trademark name for close cell extruded foam of polystyrene. It is currently one of the best thermal insulators in the global insulation market offered by leading plastic manufacturers such as The Dow Chemical Company. However, the product Styrofoam falls under the category of expanded polystyrene material in the U.S. and Canada. These expanded polystyrene are moderately soluble in a number of organic solvents, propellants, cyanoacrylate and paint solvents. Styrofoams also find applications for crafts and is popularly known as thermacol, trademarked by BASF SE.

Magnetic separation equipment is used to detect and separate magnetically susceptible material from a mixture using magnetic force. This equipment is highly utilised in various industries such as chemical, coal, food, glass, mineral processing, packaging, pharmaceuticals, plastic and rubber, and recycling. The application of magnetic separators ensures product purity and protects further processing of materials from metal damage.

A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle. For example, distinct power sources can be a combination of diesel and electricity, fuel cell and diesel, or gasoline and electricity. Due to their ingenious technology, hybrid vehicles provide various advantages to the end user.

Fingerprint sensor is a device used to scan and capture an image (digital) of fingerprint pattern. This captured digital image is known as live scan. Live scan is processed digitally to create collection of extracted features (biometric template) used for matching purpose. Fingerprint verification systems consist of different modules including fingerprint sensing element, preprocessing and feature extraction module and matching module among others. The growing market of small-size and low-cost acquisition devices are allowing the implementation of fingerprint sensor in a wide range of applications such as physical access, electronic commerce and PC log in among others.
