Pearlescent pigments are fluorescent or phosphorescent-based pigments, also known as shine pigments. The basic difference between a pigment and dye is that a pigment is insoluble in water and most solvents, while dyes are soluble in liquids. Pigment coated surfaces are more resistant than dye coated surfaces. Pearlescent pigments exhibit pearl like shine when applied on surfaces and coated with metallic oxide or mica. These pigments have a transparent appearance and higher refractive coefficient. Inherent properties of these pigments include high resistance to acid, temperature and ultraviolet radiations. Unique properties of these materials make them suitable for use across a wide array of applications. Addition of pearlescent pigment in any colour produces different visual effects or metallic shade finish, which makes them highly preferable in the coatings industry.

Under the purview of energy, coal bed methane primarily refers to the natural gas or methane recovery from un-mined coal seams and adjacent sandstones. Such methane recovery usually occurs prior to mining, whereas in some cases, coal seams remain un-mined and methane recovery from such sites is known as virgin coal bed methane. Coal bed methane recovery from un-mined coal mines is of strategic importance as absolute or maximum drainage of the methane seam is necessary to avoid the risk of explosion as well as mitigate the emission of methane in the atmosphere from coal mining operations. From the estimated global coal bed methane reserve of about 4,000 Tcf to 5,000 Tcf, about 20% to 25% is recoverable.

Global energy demand had seen an exponential growth over the decade due to changing lifestyle. At the time when natural gas prices witnessing fluctuation and coal resources are depleting, the world is witnessing a significant gap between demand and supply of energy. Though as per World Coal Association, global coal reserves are estimated to be 861 tonne and accounts to 42% of total world electricity production; the year on year growth for coal consumption was highest in FY 2013, making it the highest since 1970. The demand for coal consumption is increasing every year thereby leading to depletion of coal reserves at an alarming rate. Moreover, most regions are economically unviable to extract coal from its bed. It is due to this reason that companies are looking for alternative solution that can lead to harnessing the total potential of coal, without disturbing the ecological balance.

The concept of smart railways has evolved from the growing adoption of new generation services and advanced transportation management systems, enabled using Information Technology (IT) solutions. The future railways industry is anticipated to rely upon smart systems that will help leverage technologies for optimal utilization and management of the huge railway infrastructure. It combines software products to enable more intelligent use of railway assets, so that companies can meet the increasing demand for safer and reliable railway services. Smart railway technologies such as asset management software, integrated service management solutions and predictive analytic tools are expected to help railway companies to manage their network, routes, capacities, and daily operations, in the near future. Thus, with the rise in implementation of smart technologies in railway transport, the associated solutions and services market are expected grow globally at higher growth rates. Emerging technologies such as smart ticketing, cloud adoption, rail analytics, smart traffic and other operational solutions will enable more efficient and better railway infrastructure. It is also expected to improve on decision making for issues, such as asset utilization, deployment and maintenance.

According to the report, the Indian economy has grown impressively during the last decade; doubling at least during this time. Infrastructure development, and consequently the construction sector were given prime focus during this period. Value-wise, the contribution of the construction sector to India's GDP increased from 6.1% in 2002–03 to around 6.9% in 2006–07, and is further estimated to account for approximately 9% in 2015. Furthermore, growth in the construction sector has remained healthy, and during the last five year has been growing at a Y-o-Y of over 10%.

Olive oil is high nutritive product extracted from the fresh olive fruits. Olive oil is the key component of Mediterranean diet, found in countries such as Spain, Greece and Italy. It is commercially manufactured by crushing or grinding olives and extracting oil from it through various chemical and mechanical process. The health dominating properties has led this product to hold a promising future. It possess omega-3 monounsaturated fatty acid and antioxidants which replaces saturated and trans fats and stimulates health benefits such as it helps in maintaining health cholesterol level, reduces breast cancer risk, helps to prevent stroke, lowers the risk of depression, protect liver and many others (prevent from acute pancreas, protects from ulcerative colitis etc.).

HUDs were previously developed using cathode ray tube (CRT) technology, but are currently available with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology, which gives clearer picture to user. This technology enables users to maintain concentration while driving or flying, thus ensuring their 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. HUDs in airplanes display information regarding position, radar information, flight path, acceleration, and real time position, which helps pilots to react in timely and rapidly manner. This innovation has slowly made its way into the automotive industry and is currently being considered amongst the prominent driver assistance systems. HUDs in automobiles display GPS information, speed, and engine details on to the windshield of vehicles.

Temperature detection and measurement is a very important activity and has a variety of applications ranging from simple household to industrial. A temperature sensor is a device that collects the concerning temperature data and displays in a human-understandable format. Temperature sensing is the most controlled and measurable factor behind any critical application. The temperature sensing market shows continuous growth due to its need in research & development, semiconductor and chemical industries. Temperature sensing is gaining a lot of attention due to increasing adoption of HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) for domestic as well as industrial use.
