The security industry is growing with the introductions of emerging and cutting-edge products that also meet the customer's budget allocations. Firewalls have significantly improved the overall security posture of organizations since they first came on the scene back in the late 1980s. Like everything else firewalls have also evolved. Currently, the real challenge of providing web services in any form is securing them against threats.

Infrared (IR) Cameras are imaging devices, which forms images based on thermal or infrared radiation, similar to common camera, which forms images using visible light and then converts into electronic signal, which is then processed to produce a thermal image and perform temperature calculations. Infrared cameras generate monochrome images because the image sensors used in Infrared cameras does not distinguish different wavelengths of infrared radiation. Infrared cameras not only monitor thermal performance but also identify and evaluate severity of heat related problems. Infrared cameras use cooled infrared detectors and uncooled infrared detectors. Cooled infrared detectors are contained in vacuum-sealed cases and cryogenically cooled. Uncooled infrared detectors use sensors operated at an ambient temperature. Infrared cameras with detectors are used for various purposes like home automation, security, fire and gas detection purposes. Infrared cameras are initially developed of military usage and now they are used for civilian purposes.

Beer is the most widely consumed alcoholic beverages in the World. Beer contains 4% to 6% alcohol by volume. The main ingredients of beer include water, a starch source (such as malted barley, helps in saccharification and fermentation), a brewer's yeast and flavors such as hops. Flavoring such as hops helps in adding bitterness and act as a natural preservative. Most of the beers are sold in glass bottle and cans. The moderate consumption of beer reduced the risk of cardiac disease, stroke and cognitive decline. In contrast, heavy beer consumption increases the risk of liver diseases. The European communities have been enjoying beer for several thousand years. The beer cultures in the European countries vary remarkably, with different styles of beer and consumption habits and it forms an integral part of the Europe's heritage, alimentation and culture. Europe is the second largest beer producer in the world. In 2012, around 390 million hectoliters of beer was produced in the Europe. Europe beer market can be bifurcated into four categories such as premium lager, standard lager, specialty beer and others.

Petroleum coke or petcoke, a solid rock material is a byproduct of crude oil refining and other cracking processes. Although a refining byproduct, petroleum coke is considered as a valued commodity since 2008, all over the world. Crude oil remained after separating other valuable petroleum products from refining process such as diesel, lubricants, waxes, etc. can be processed further in cokers or other cracking processes to produce petroleum coke. Different grades of petroleum coke are produced by varying the coking operation temperature, coking time length, and quality of raw material used. The grades available are needle coke, purge coke, sponge coke, shot coke, and catalyst coke. The different grades differ in their physical properties and VOC (Volatile Organic Content). It is generally used as a source of energy in various industries due to its high calorific value, as compared to metallurgical coal and bituminous coal. About 80% of the petroleum coke produced is used as energy source in various industries. Cement kiln and power plants are the chief end users. Another prominent use of petroleum coke is in manufacturing of metal, where it is used to manufacture anodes for EAFs (Electric Arc Furnaces). The niche applications of petroleum coke includes production of titanium dioxide for paint and coloring industry, feedstock for coke oven batteries, to produce urea and ammonium nitrate for paper industry and fertilizer, etc. High sulphur, low grade petroleum coke (fuel grade) is generally used as a source of energy, while low sulphur, high grade petroleum coke is used for other uses by the manufacturers. Petroleum coke is a cost effective alternative to coal with higher calorific value, lower ash content.

Over the past few years, Brouter market around the world has been witnessing significant growth on the back of considerable IT infrastructure expansion across various parts of the world. Rising internet browsing on laptops, smartphones and tablets have pushed significant investments for network expansion in the recent years. Various factors such as technological trends including cloud computing are helping in the growth of the market. Brouter generally known as bridge router, is basically a combination of bridge and router. It is capable of establishing a bridge between two networks as well as routing some messages from the bridge network to other networks. The demand for this network device has been increasing within enterprises as well as commercial sector. Banking Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector is one of the leading revenue generator in world's Brouter market.

The global wall covering market is anticipated to register single digit growth rate over the forecast period. The global wall coverings market includes varied products such as wall tiles, wallpapers, unframed mirrors, interior paints and wall panels. The advantages of wall covering includes customised selection of colours and designs to suit furnishings of the house. The disadvantage of wall covering is lack of design available and fading of pattern and colour over time.

A geothermal heat pump (GHPs) or ground source heat pump is a central water heating system that uses geothermal energy to heat the water. Geothermal heat pumps are energy efficient and are widely used in various heating application across surface water, recycled water, retention basin storm water, sewage treatment plant, and harvested rainwater. Geothermal heat pumps can be used alone or in combination with hybrid configuration such as solar geothermal heat pump. The hybrid configurations offer high performance and cost benefits. Geothermal heat pump uses the moderate temperatures of the earth for heating and cooling systems. Most of the heat utilized by the geothermal heat pump does not always come principally from the centre of the earth crust, but directly from the sun. Some of the other popular name of geothermal heat pump in various part of the world includes geoexchange, earth energy systems and earth-coupled heat pumps.

Refractories are non-metallic materials that have property to retain its structure even at high temperatures of above 1000 °F. Refractories are used in linings of furnaces, incinerators and reactors in many of the industries. Refractories find application in vessel lining construction of unshaped products, prefabricated elements and bricks in the industries. The key end-user industries for refractories include iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, non-metallic minerals; and non-metallic materials such as glass. Multiple refractory layers and additional insulation materials are necessary to protect the steel structure in the furnaces from aggressive processing conditions. Iron and steel was the largest end-user industry for refractories accounting for about 75% of total market in 2013.

Eggs are processed by removing egg shells and processing the obtained liquid product to make it suitable for consumption in various food products. The various steps in egg processing include removal of egg shells, filtration, mixing and blending, stabilizing, pasteurising, freezing or drying and packaging. Different equipment is used at various stages of egg processing. The egg processing equipments are generally integrated assembly of machineries that are used at various stages of egg processing. Processed eggs are used widely in as an ingredient to various food products such as baked foods, dairy and dairy products and confectionary. Processes eggs have superior functional properties such as, enhanced freshness, longer shelf-life, and simple storage and transportation requirement.

The rapid increase in data traffic generated every day is putting the traditional data centre architecture under heavy constraints. Data traffic from social media, corporate e-mails, IoT applications and machine-to-machine communication is causing data explosion. Most of the type of data generated are images and videos which take a lot of space. Traditional data centres are gradually becoming inefficient to handle this data explosion and immediately need to revamp their architecture. Data centre networking is a consolidated solution which interconnects a number of servers in a data centre. Data centre networking is a cost-effective solution for the organizations and hence it is rapidly gaining traction.
