Herpes is a type of infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Herpes is mainly categorized into two forms: oral herpes and genital herpes. Oral herpes leads to the occurrence of cold sores around the face and mouth. Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease which affects the genital organs, buttocks, and anal area. Other herpes infections can affect the skin, eyes, and other parts of the body. HSV can be dangerous in newborn babies and people with weak immune systems. There are two types of HSV occurrences in the environment: HSV type 1 and HSV type 2. HSV type 1 primarily causes cold sores, and HSV type 2 leads to genital herpes. Most people get HSV type 1 in their childhood and adult stages. This virus can be spread by skin-to-skin contact with an adult who carries the virus. Most people get HSV type 2 through sexual contact. Some people do not report any symptoms of herpes. However, others get sores near the area where the virus has entered into the body. These sores turn into blisters and become itchy and painful.

Central nervous system comprises brain and spinal cord, and is responsible for integration of sensory information. Brain is the largest and one of the most complex organs in the human body. It is made up of 100 billion nerves that communicate with 100 trillion synapses. It is responsible for the thought and movement produced by the body. Spinal cord is connected to a section of brain known as brain stem and runs through the spinal canal. The brain processes and interprets sensory information sent from the spinal cord. Brain and spinal cord serve as the primary processing centers for the entire nervous system, and control the working of the body. Neuroprosthetics improves or replaces the function of the central nervous system. Neuroprosthetics, also known as neural prosthetics, are devices implanted in the body that stimulate the function of an organ or organ system that has failed due to disease or injury. It is a brain-computer interface device used to detect and translate neural activity into command sequences for prostheses. Its primary aim is to restore functionality in patients suffering from loss of motor control such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and stroke. The major types of neuroprosthetics include sensory implants, motor prosthetics, and cognitive prosthetics. Motor prosthetics support the autonomous system and assist in the regulation or stimulation of affected motor functions.

Tele-care refers to delivery of health-related services and information through telecommunications. Tele-care medical equipment help during emergencies, improve treatment of chronic diseases, monitor vital signs remotely, reduce cost of care delivery, support expert delivery, and provide comfortable healthcare environment to patients. Need for cost- and time-effective care delivery and demand for remote patient monitoring systems are some of the major factors driving growth of the tele-care medical equipment market. Some of the tele-care systems help to predict problems and reduce chances of problem occurring . Based on service type, the tele-care medical equipment market can be segmented into tele-consultation, tele-monitoring, tele-education, tele-training, tele-care, and tele-surgery. The tele-care segment includes heart failure telemonitoring, diabetes remote monitoring, home-based care, blood pressure home monitoring, and mobile health clinics. Major advantages of tele-care medical equipment include remote healthcare monitoring, which allows patients to avoid hospital stay, and reduction in hospital visits for routine check-ups. Moreover, these equipment allow patients to self manage.

Electric vehicles are powered by electric motors, which uses energy from rechargeable batteries. Electric vehicle are more user and environmental friendly as compared with gasoline based vehicles. These vehicles do not produce any tailpipe emissions, reduces dependency on oil and are cheaper to operate. Based on their power source, there are three types of electric vehicles: directly powered from an external power station, powered by stored electricity originally from an external power source and powered by an on-board electrical generator. Electric vehicles are very popular in low power and low range applications such as milt floats and golf buggies. However this technology is still in nascent stage for mainstream transportation, especially in developing countries. In recent years the electric vehicles segment has attracted the attentions of consumers as well as governments. According to a report by Electric Vehicle Initiative (EVI) and International Energy Agency (IEA), global electric vehicle sales became two folds between the year 2011 and 2012 and this growth is expected to be higher in coming years.
