Satellite Transponder Market: Introduction

Increase in the demand for lightweight material and to minimize the friction between the components have driven the demand for composite bearing. Composite bearings used to control friction and maintain separation among two moving parts. Composite bearing have a property of low friction, low heat build-up and no cold flow conditions. By replacing the conventional greased bronze bushings with composite bearings in industrial applications, the weight could be reduced and provides better efficiency. Composite bearing are used in various industry such as automotive, marine, construction & mining, agriculture, and aerospace among others.

The Ultra Violet (UV) radiation from sun or artificial light results in breaking down of the chemical bonds in a polymer that result in cracking, chalking and color variation. The UV Stabilizers are used to inhibit degradation and improve the polymer physical properties and life by maintaining their strength, flexibility and appearance for the end user industry applications. The UV absorbers function by preferentially absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation while the HALS (Hindered Amine) Light Stabilizers form nitroxyl radicals to inhibit degradation of the polymer. As a result, HALS provide high thermal and light stability as they are regenerated during the stabilization process. The market for UV Stabilizers is expected to grow steadily as key players will continue to develop more efficient UV stabilizer based production technology for the consumers. Vendors in the market are focusing on the introduction of new and improved products to cater to increasing demand and keep pace with the competition in the market. Over the past few years, major players in the UV Stabilizers market also focused on strengthening its overall presence in China.

Apart from the conventional applications, zirconium oxychloride is also widely used for a number of applications, including drying agent in paints, coatings and inks industry as well as for manufacturing high temperature refractory materials, such as opacifier in glazes and enamels and glass polishing. Moreover, zirconium oxychloride also finds usage in textile dyeing, water repellents, fire proof materials and in the manufacturing of cosmetics and personal care products, such as antiperspirants, etc. Significant research and investment has been done to expand the application areas for zirconium chloride. For instance, it is now used in nano technology in the electrical and electronics industry, nuclear reactors as well as for medicinal purposes.

A marine thrust block is a special kind of thrust bearing used in large ship engines to resist the thrust generated by the propeller shaft and transfer the generated energy to the hull of ship. It is also known as a thrust box. Marine thrust blocks contain many wedge-shaped white metal pads that are fixed on a steel support and form a case. The main purpose of these blocks is to transfer the torque generated by the propeller to the hull of the ship through the metal housing. At the bottom of the housing, there is an oil reservoir that contains an oil-cooling coil, which circulates sea water. The pads available in the housing protect the fluid film of the oil reservoir from overheating and wear and tear, which may occur by the rotational movement of the drive shaft.

Aerospace bearings are amongst vital components in an aircraft. Aerospace bearings are used in aircraft system to ensure a constant superior performance despite of dynamic changes in air pressure and temperature. Aerospace bearings are used in various applications such as landing gear struts, hydraulic fuel pumps, wing flap actuators, electric actuators, flight control system, engines, seat mechanisms and overhead baggage compartments. Roller bearing are extensively used in most of the parts of aircraft. Among the materials, the fiber reinforced composites are highly preferable due to high load carrying and self-lubricating capacity which increases reliability of bearings under severe conditions.

Wiring devices refers to any electrical devices that are used to provide and control connection points or joining points for low voltage lighting control systems, electrical sockets and wall switches. Wiring devices includes current carrying wiring devices and non-current carrying wiring devices. Current-carrying wiring devices market is highly variable depending on certain factors such as consumer purchasing power, growth in GDP, economic conditions and overall health of domestic construction and housing industry. Non-current carrying wiring devices contains boxes, plates, conduit and fitting, among others. The electrical conduits are used to protect the electrical wiring from weather conditions and mechanical injury.

The cloud infrastructure for data storage offers numerous options for sourcing, approach and control. It brings well-defined set of services that are perceived by customers to have continuous availability, infinite capacity, improved cost efficiency and increased agility. To attain these attributes in customer's minds, information technology (IT) must move its traditional server centric approach to service centric approach. This entails that IT must go from organizing applications in silos with the minimal leverage among environments to deliver applications on a pre-determined standardized platforms with agreed service levels. A hybrid strategy that uses numerous cloud options at the same time would become a norm since organizations choose a mix of several cloud models to meet the specific needs.

Iris biometric recognizing came in to existence in the year 1994. This is basically an authentication process in which the random iris patterns of a person are analyzed. These patterns are captured using digital cameras and illumination by near infrared technique. The major concern is about the damage to the eye which is overcome by using single LED source to generate infrared rays. Iris biometric recognition has several advantages such as high accuracy and time performance of the technology. Several countries across the globe have deployed iris biometric systems for automated cross border activities and creating national IDs for the people. This has reduced the time for verification of the person travelling from one place to another across the globe. The national security agencies are using iris scanning technology to verify the identity of the people immigrating into their countries. Further, with advancement in technology and rising demand for security, this technology is expected to be used for big residential buildings over the coming years. However, the technology is intrusive and very expensive.

Unified communication is the combination of real time and non real time communication services such as video and voice conferencing, speech recognition and e-mail and messaging. Enterprise unified communication includes software and server based products that offers platform for communication for organizations and other enterprises. A key feature of enterprise unified communication is providing consistent user experience across wide range of communication channels. The major advantages of unified communication include price performance and ability to offer high quality services.
