Consumption of video based content and increasing dependency of users on their electronic devices has put pressure on the wireless data transfer infrastructure in use currently. Usage of millimeter wave frequency is being explored for 5G applications. But as the spectrums at medium and high range devices will also need to implement better mechanisms to improve filtering of signals.

With incremental advancements in functionalities of electronic devices and the reductions in overall size of devices, the semiconductors being used in the devices are going through very fast changes. Systems meant for processes such as etching and cleaning of the wafers which are in turn converted into microchips have evolved significantly in terms of their accuracy. Wafers in recent years have moved towards finer dimensions and with that batch processing has failed to deliver above the needed statistical limits.

In today's world, the adoption of consumer electronics has increased. With this, the demand for electronic components like resistors, transistors, and capacitors are growing since every electronic device circuits are built with these elements. Every electronic component has a varying demand of current needed to operate, and due to this uncertainty in requirements, the evolution of electronic resistors took place. These resistors are known for the power dissipation it provides and sound resistance. Electronic Resistors are used to limit the flow of electric current and have features like noise control, inductance and temperature coefficient.

Hyperloop technology is the future of transportation. While air transport has been gaining momentum in the past few decades, the need for less polluting and environment friendly is growing due to global warming and climate change. It was in 2013 when Elon Musk came out with the idea of Hyperloop Technology to beat the issues of time, cost, and pollution. Today, large players in the transportation sector are investing into R&D to develop pods for Hyperloop technology.

Data acquisition (DAQ) hardware helps in converting sampling signals that measures physical conditions into digital numeric values which can be further manipulated by a computer. DAQ mainly converts analog waveforms into numeric values, where basically the conditioned sensor signals are transformed to digital values. Data acquisition (DAQ) hardware comprises of the components such as sensors; which converts various signals of physical conditions into electrical signals, signal conditioning circuitry; for converting sensor signals into digital values. This hardware is basically the interface between a PC and the signal. DAQ can also appear as modules such as serial, parallel, and USB, which connects the computers' ports, and cards such as AppleBus, PCI, ISA, S-100 bus, and MCA, which are perfect for fitting into the slots. Data acquisition hardware needs additional DAQ device drivers to work with a PC. 

Enterprise social networking refers to use of social media channels by organizations to leverage individuals and businesses in their network for communication and information exchange. This involves use of enterprise social networks both internally and externally, to network with individuals and with businesses that have similar business interests. Internally, within an organization, enterprise social network tools help employees exchange intellectual knowledge and individual strengths to leverage each other for business processes.

Assistive technology (AT) devices encompass a broad range of technologies pertaining to assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices. The drive for them stems from the need for improving the performance of day-to-day activities in people with disabilities. They have gained traction in the healthcare industries for largely improving the quality of life and making them more independent. In various communities world over, AT devices have been effective in reducing healthcare costs. They have attracted attention of caregivers, giving them increased relief. The global dynamics of the AT devices market is notably influenced by the prevailing regional legislations on the use of the technologies. To enhance the effectiveness of devices in community setting, information management has gathered some steam among local policymakers and health service providers. This has made the management of information and communication technology functions integral to the adoption of AT devices in community health services.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) are fast replacing barcode scanning in the asset tracking and inventory management for making retail supply chain smarter in the logistics industries. RFID tagging has gathered immense steam in stock control. Over the past few years, the cost of RFID digital inventory management systems has declined, bolstering the uptake among retailers, wholesalers, or distributors. In the architecture of RFID subsystems, technology stack and communication protocols have witnessed prominent advancements, and middleware-architecture has gathered substantial attention. Rising use of RFID digital inventory management system in accounting and inventory processes is also contributing attractive share of revenue to the global market. Benefits for adopting RFID digital inventory management system are numerous—real-time visibility of the inventory to enterprise managers across the supply chain, supporting just-in-time (JIT) inventory, and reducing counterfeit. Their use also enables inventory managers to conduct automatic inventories and reduce stock-outs. The global RFID digital inventory management system market will also garner gains from the consolidation of standards. This also makes real-time product data increasingly accessible for enterprise owners.

Humanoid robots have attracted groundswell of interest from robotics manufacturers and industry verticals in recent decades. Their advent opens a new paradigm in robotics research and continue to present exciting challenges to manufacturers. Humanoid robots are characterized not only by human-like body make up but are conferred human-like information processing. The human appearance has increased their acceptability in daily lives, such as in households and workplaces. The integration with artificial intelligence is what makes the use of humanoid robots increasingly interesting in solving real-life challenges. 

Bioacoustics sensing is a combination of biology and acoustics to detect, receive, and analyze sound waves generated from human and animal bodies. Bioacoustics sensing systems are used for locating and identifying animals and for human beings, in several medical applications. There are different frequencies generated from animal and human bodies that are recorded by bioacoustics sensing systems, which are further analyzed to find the output such as location of an animal or detection of disease in a human body. Inputs from the human body are provided to the computer for analysis with the help of intuitive gestures, augmented reality, and machine learning. Some of the medical applications of bioacoustics sensing includes evaluation of muscle strength to optimize stamina, neuro prosthetics control, lung, heart and abdominal auscultation, blood pressure and pulse monitoring, monitoring of respiration, and reduction of cancer tumors. One of the major benefit of using this technology is its ability to identify diseases in the primary stage. In consumer electronics, bioacoustics sensors and wireless technologies are used to control electronic devices such as media players, pagers, personal digital assistant (PDA) devices, smartphones, smart wearable, and personal laptops.
