With the increasing vehicles on the road, the demand for safety has been increasing among consumers and government. Passenger cars meet with most of the road accidents every year either due to non-attention of the driver or poor light conditions on the road. To combat this issue passenger car manufacturers have been equipping the high-end new vehicles with night vision system and driver monitoring system.

A light emitting diode or LED is a semiconductor device. LED produce incoherent narrow spectrum of light when it is in forward biased condition. The color of the light emitted depends on the composition of the semiconductor material used in manufacturing of LED. It is extensively used in an array of application such as displays devices on clock, digital watches, lighting bulbs, radios, and calculators. LEDs also find its applications in high definition television display, camera, camcorder, telecommunications, optical fiber communication, and TV remote controls. The application of LED is even exceeded to the Jewelry and Wearable’s.

Atherectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used in the removal of atherosclerosis from blood vessels of the human body. Atherosclerosis is usually characterized by thickening of artery wall due to the invasion and accumulation of white blood cells (WBCs). Atherectomy devices are generally used in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease and coronary artery disease. Peripheral vascular disease (PVD), also known as peripheral arterial disease (PAD), is exemplified by narrowing of arteries outside of the brain and heart. Major risk factors of PVD include elevated blood cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, inactivity, hypertension and overweight or obesity. Coronary artery disease is one of the most common types of heart disease and caused by formation of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries of the heart and inflicts the normal blood flow. This can lead to angina and heart attacks. Most heart attacks happen when blood clot suddenly inhibits the normal supply of blood.
