Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of nervous system, which is also referred as disseminated sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is progressed with disruption spinal cord and brain nerve cells, which results in loss of ability of the parts of the nervous system to communicate including various other mental, physical and psychiatric problems. Primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) is the type of multiple sclerosis in which neurological functions are steadily deteriorated with minimal distinct relapses (exacerbations and attacks) or the fixed period remissions.

Lithium ion polymer battery is a rechargeable battery consisting of lithium-ion technology in a pouch format. The lithium ions convert negative electrodes to positive electrodes when the battery is being used and vice-versa when the battery is being charged. The batteries are lightweight because of the package or pouch format. They are primarily used in consumer electronics goods which include electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, laptops and digital cameras.

CADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a computer-based system used to gather and analyze real-time data. A SCADA system usually consists of remote terminal units, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), telemetry and human machine interface. The information from sensors or manual inputs is sent to PLCs, which is further processed by computers using SCADA. Real-time data is analyzed and displayed in a logical and organized fashion to reduce waste and improve efficiency in the manufacturing processes.

Smoking cessation or nicotine de-addiction involves tobacco discontinuation. Tobacco contains nicotine that causes addiction by releasing the neurotransmitters such as glutamate, dopamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Cigarette and tobacco addicts can be better treated with smoking cessation products. The global market for smoking cessation and nicotine de-addiction products encompasses nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), electronic cigarettes and therapeutic medication such as anti-depressants and nicotine receptor agonists. Government is emphasizing strict regulations to control the nicotine and cigarette addiction due to its toxic effects on cardiac and respiratory systems.

A signal generator is a test equipment device that generates repeating or non-repeating signals. The output of the Signal Generator is a repeating waveform whose characteristics are set by the user. It is used for designing, testing, troubleshooting, and repairing of electronic devices. The signal generator finds application mainly in research and development, along with servicing and repair of electronic equipment. The attempts of manufacturers to develop devices with high capability at a lower price are boosting the growth of the global signal generators market. Rapid development of wireless devices and demand from various industries for advanced features and functionality with design in technology are drivers for the signal generator market.

The robotics industry has evolved substantially in the last decade. Various technological advances have made it possible for robots to possess interactive capabilities along with mobility. This allows them to recognize gestures and commands, and thereby assist human beings in various tasks. A Service Robot operates partially or completely autonomously to complete tasks that either aid human beings or involve equipment, typically performing a job that is dull, dirty, inconveniently located, dangerous or repetitive. However, service robots are unable to perform manufacturing operations. There are two kinds of service robots: personal service robots and professional service robots.

Solar power refers to technology that harvests sunlight and utilizes it for various purposes such as electricity generation, heating, desalination of seawater etc. Smart solar power is an advanced form of the traditional solar energy system.

Smart water management is the next big thing due to the rising water scarcity and need for water conservation around the world. Various organizations and governments across the globe are under immense pressure to meet the increasing demand of water. Worldwide water regulatory bodies must understand the need of the hour and proactively implement smart water technologies to efficiently manage their distribution channels, update their operations, reduce maintenance cost, spread awareness among customers about water conservation and reduce non revenue water losses occurring due to thefts and water leakage. Based on the background of such requirements, the demand for Smart water management is expected to surge and the market for the same is projected to grow at a promising CAGR from 2013 to 2020.

The Smart Electricity Meters are replacing traditional electricity meters. Smart electricity meters facilitate the in line communication of electricity suppliers with consumers electricity meters eliminating the manual intervention in meter readings. Smart Electricity meters provide consumers with an accurate real time data of their energy consumption whilst rendering a greater control over electricity consumption. The smart electricity meters also help the consumer in selecting tariff plans tailored to fit their energy consumption.

Printing technologies are currently used to create electronic devices on different substrates. Printing electronics have enabled the printing of electrical components (resistors, condensers, spools, and transistors) and electronic components on cost-effective, lightweight and flexible materials such as flexible film, cloth, plastic or paper in conventional circuits.
