Meniscal fixation is minimally invasive surgical procedure is used to reconstruct torn meniscus. Meniscus functions include distribution and load transmission, joint stability, neuromuscular proprioception and joint nutrition. Meniscal tears are symptomatic and irreparable and meniscal fixation devices are used to remove unstable fragments. Meniscal repair is performed only during longitudinal tears (>10 mm), tears without deformity or secondary degeneration, and others. Meniscal fixation devices are used arthroscopic repair or open surgery. Meniscal fixation devices include arrows, screws, darts, and other fasteners. The latest advancement of meniscal fixation device includes a hybrid of the peripheral anchor, suture, and Slipknot. These fixation devices are used for tensioning across the meniscal tear. In addition, they are flexible, and have a potential to move with meniscus and deform during any activities, and decreases the risk of chondral injury. Meniscal fixation devices are used for meniscus repair are of three types based on suture technique. They are inside-out, outside-in, and all inside. Inside-out technique is used to treat all types of tears with a potential risk of neurovascular incisions. The outside-in technique is used for middle and anterior thirds of the meniscus and this technique is used to decrease the risk of neurovascular incisions. All-inside repair technique for vertical longitudinal, unstable tears of the posterior meniscus.

The 3D Food Printing is a type of additive manufacturing technology which is used to print three dimensional food products and cuisines. It is a combination of the sensor, actuators, storage capsules and a software which are integrated to work together. A 3D food printer uses components such as rollers, head sprays and programmed algorithm for printing the defined food product or cuisine.

Automotive touch screen control system market is expected to grow due to increasing popularity for the automotive touch screens among various consumers. As, the automotive touch screen provide ease of functioning and various attractive features. Various prominent companies from automotive industry are adopting and innovating the automotive touch control system in their vehicles to attract various consumers. For instance, Tesla's new Model S has come up with the significant in-car multimedia system with a 17-inch capacitive touch screen control with various features including a music player, hand-free calling, a navigation system, climate controls, a rear-view camera and other features. Moreover, Luxury German automakers BMW has come up with an innovative touch screen control system wherein user can move his/her finger in a counter-clockwise or clockwise circle in front of the touchscreen to change the stereo volume. There are several other unique features that make Automotive touch screen control system ideal to be use in car, which are attracting the attention of lot of consumers. Automotive touch screen control system can identify touches from drivers with long fingernails or gloved fingers, allowing the driver to operate the screen in all situations. People can avoid accidental activation of a radio or changing the temperature of a car by setting the screen to filter out accidental touches based on shape, size, opacity and pressure.

Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) can be defined as a collective term which accounts for an organization's approach towards Governance, risk management, and compliance. GRC is a platform that aims to coordinate information and processes through governance, risk management and compliance so as to function in a more efficient manner, coupled with effective data sharing which helps avoid wasteful overlaps.

Magnetic material is spread across disk and bits of data are stored across numerous magnetic grains, however, technology is reaching its limit in terms of storage, hence, bit patterned drives are being introduced. Bit-patterned media (BPM) technology is a magnetic recording medium consolidating self-assembling molecules and Nano imprinting in which the magnetic layer is reduced to the size of per bit (one magnetic dot and space). BPM divides the recording surface i.e. the magnetic layer into multiple uniform sections or servo patterns, each of which contains few magnetic grains. Each grain can hold one bit of data, which ideally allows for higher areal densities. Assembling the data into patterns of rows having nonmagnetic gaps between them helps in locating the stored data quickly. When bit-patterned media is used for even higher recording densities, the dot size will be reduced to less than 10nanometer. Transition jitter gets eliminated in BPM since the bits are isolated from each other. BPM enhances density of hard disk drive platter as grains sit on Nano-lithographically created islands, and grains are made smaller such that it is equivalent to each bit. This is achieved by placing a single magnetic grain onto every data island of a patterned medium and thus making the entire drive platter denser. BPM is highly used for PC shipments in market. High areal density has resulted in the growing popularity of the BPM devices. Bit Patterned Media (BPM) for magnetic recording provides thermally stable data recording and avoids challenges connected with extending conventional media technology. Instead of recording a bit on joint random grains, BPM comprises of ordered array of patterned isolated magnetic islands created lithographically which stores single bit. The media is composed of exchange-coupled magnetic grains, the effective volume of a patterned bit is attributed to the volume of the bit as opposed to the volume of a single grain within a bit. Consequently, the bit becomes resilient to thermal fluctuations and the read back signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) also increases.

Cloud workload is increasing rapidly due to emergence of big data and increased adoption of cloud. With the quick emergence of virtual machines and containers, workloads tend to be allocated to a specific application or service.

Cognitive computing has opened vast promising avenues in the healthcare industry in recent times and is rapidly transforming healthcare delivery world over. Cognitive computing systems simulate human thought process using computerized model. Worldwide, these have been instrumental in making sense of the extensive streams of healthcare data that is growing unhindered. Healthcare professionals and providers in various parts of the world are increasingly adopting cognitive systems to make faster and more informed decision, boost patient outcomes, and improve the overall quality of care.

As organizations embrace, new technologies and applications become more distributed across diverse environments, enterprises face new security and availability challenges, including an increased risk for DDoS (Distributed denial of services) attacks. These attacks causes an online service unavailable to an authorized user by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. The DDoS attack uses multiple computers and Internet connections to flood the targeted resource. These include traffic attack, bandwidth attack and application attack.

Blood collection monitor is a compact medical devices utilized to monitor homogenous mixing of blood and anticoagulant during collection of blood from a donor. This device is primarily utilized to prevent clot formation of blood. Blood collection monitors are used in hospitals, clinics and biotechnology industries worldwide. The device also ensures prevention of blood cells being damaged during collection procedure. A typical blood collection monitor contains an audio visual alarm that notifies an abnormal condition of the donor.

The primary function of an automotive sideshaft is to provide an active connection between the driving wheels and the engine, it also allows to generate different steering angles while accommodating the suspension movements. The isolation of vibration is also one of the prime function of the automotive sideshaft in a vehicle. The merit of a constant velocity joint is that it can transfer rotation through various angles without any variations in drive shaft speeds. An automotive sideshaft comprises of two constant velocity joints; a plunging joint situated at the gearbox end and a fixed joint situated near the wheel end which are connected by an interconnecting shaft.
