Substation automation is an integral part of electrical system for generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. The combination of devices used to change the characteristics of electric supply such as voltage, p.f. and frequency among others is called substation. Substations are used to receive electricity at high voltage from the transmission and decrease the voltage to the appropriate level so that it can be used for local distribution. The build metrics and impact metrics are the major parameters used to determine the efficiency of an automated substation. Impact metrics determine the impact on the grid response and its associated human resource, infrastructure and the consumers after deployment of smart grid. Build metrics monitors the progress while building the smart grid infrastructure and is similar to project management type metrics. On the basis of the components substation automation market can be segmented into recloser controller, programmable logic controller, capacitor bank controller, digital transducer/smart meter, load tap controller, communication channel and digital relays among others.

Improving financial position is motivating market participants to invest in the medium and high power motors market. Due to rising electricity consumption countries across implementing stringent regulations and motivating use of energy efficient electric motors through incentive plans for replacement of less efficient electric motors. This is increasing the demand for energy efficient medium and high power electric motors.

The wearable technology market in Europe comprises a number of cutting-edge wearable gadgets, namely Jawbone UP, Nike's Fuel and wrist band, among others. This market is poised to experience a number of shifts with the rise in demand for products such as Sony's wrist watch, Google's smart glass, etc.

Vertebral compression fracture is type of fracture which collapses the bone tissue of spinal vertebrae and becomes compressed due to a major trauma such as a serious fall or a vehicular accident. The fracture may also arise due to weakening of the vertebrae which is usually associated with osteoporosis affected patients. Most of the times, vertebral compression fracture leads to loss of height and severe back pain that radiates from spine to around both sides of the body. This report covers the market analysis of the minimally invasive vertebral compression fracture repair technologies namely, vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty. The global minimally invasive vertebral compression fracture repair market has substantially increased the volume and quality of vertebral compression fracture repair procedures by assisting in restoring the vertebral height and enhancing patient mobility and thereby resulting in rapid adoption of such procedures. The stake holders for this study include market players who provide vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty therapy solutions and systems.

Blood is one of the most important connective tissue in the human body. Medically, blood is considered as the critical highway, transporting essential components of the body metabolism to various organs. The measurement of the dynamics of blood is therefore necessary in understanding the physical state of a body, one among them being the blood flow measurement. The volume rate of blood flow is defined as the amount of blood passing through a cross section of a blood vessel per unit time. Blood flow measurement devices are imperative for diagnosing various clinical vascular conditions such as arterial occlusion, peripheral vascular diseases including diabetic micro and macro vascular complications. These devices also find their applications in skin testing, cerebral blood flow measurement, burn assessment and others. As per the American Diabetes Association estimates, 1 out of every 3 individuals above 50 years of age was diagnosed with diabetes. A rising geriatric population worldwide with high risk of diabetes, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases coupled with an accentuated demand for minimally invasive procedures has triggered the growth of this market. Rise in prevalence of such diseases has resulted in increased number of surgical procedures that require blood flow measurement devices. Among these, peripheral vascular disease accounts to be one of the major applications of blood flow measurement devices. The causative factors for development of peripheral arterial disease are atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and cigarette smoking. The market for blood flow measurement devices include laser Doppler, ultrasonic Doppler and electromagnetic blood flow measurement devices.

An operating room, also known as operation theatre or operating suite, is a facility within a hospital or nursing home where surgical procedures are performed on patients in order to treat different physiological and pathological conditions in a sterile environment. Technological advancements have brought a lot of change in the way surgical procedures are carried out today. An operating room encompasses equipment such as operating tables, operating room lights, surgical booms, operating room integration systems and surgical imaging displays, and is considered as the major revenue generating department in the hospital.

Superconducting materials are elements that exhibit the property of superconductivity. These materials can be classified into ceramics, organic materials, and metals that lose their resistance due to the flow of electrical current below a certain temperature known as critical temperature. Superconducting materials are further classified into low temperature materials and high temperature materials. These materials are used in various applications such as medical, research and development, electronics, transportation and energy generation.

Printing toners are utilized in laser printers and are made up of colored micro-particles. These micro-particles can be utilized to make approximately 12 mn color variants within digital presses. The toners permit alterations in the digital image and the digital presses dry instantaneously due to their fusion by applying heat while the printing process is going on. The labeling industry and the folding carton printing industry have been the primary consumers of printing toners.
