Hemofiltration is a renal replacement therapy, generally used in intensive care settings. The procedure is carried out for acute kidney injury, multiple organ dysfunction, and other renal disorders. The process involves filtration of patient's blood. The patient's blood passes through filtration circuit, a set of tubing, through a semipermeable membrane (filter). The solutes & other impurities are separated from the blood by convection. The replacement fluid is added to the blood and it is returned to the patient's body via a machine (a set of tubing). A positive hydrolyte pressure drives solutes and water from blood compartment to the filtrate compartment. The hemofiltration process takes several hours to complete, during which the blood is pumped on continuous basis through the membrane filter and back to the patient. The components that are small enough to pass through the filter pores are removed from the blood.

Medical peristaltic pump represents a type of positive displacement pump popularly used for transporting various types of fluids. The fluid is passed through flexible tube, which is fixed inside a circular pump casing. Normally, a medical peristaltic pump contains a tube (pump), a manifold and a rotary pump head. The pump head part contains two or more rollers and these rollers press the tubing in multiple ways creating pressure in the tube. This process is called peristalsis and is widely used in several biological systems and processes. These medical peristaltic pumps perform functional diagnosis in vastly developing fields of urodynamics, gastroenterology, and neurology.

Programmable automation controllers (PACs) are the combined features of more traditional automation technologies such as distributed control systems (DCSs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), personal computers (PCs) and remote terminal units (RTUs). It is a single multi-discipline development platform incorporating common tagging and a single database. It is a single controller with integrated software that handles multiple functions across multiple domains and provides accurate and timely data. PACs provide the multifunction, multi-domain, multi-tasking, modular, standards-based and efficient control, networking and communication processor most suited to today's industrial application.

Large Format Display (LFD) are flat screens designed to display information, messages, advertisement and presentations. LFD's are designed for applications with high performance and durability requirements. Innovation in technology and fabrication have made displays more affordable. Currently the latest life style and the eye catching style of communicating information to enhancing ambience, large format displays are the ideal solutions to any control room, retail store, shopping malls, lobby, or other professional applications. Interfaces, simplified remote scheduling maintenance, intuitive features have made large format displays more competitive over other type of displays. There has been a tremendous movement from earlier used visual displays such as cathode florescent lamps to latest light emitting diode. LED's unlike cathode florescent lamps does not have light filaments which does not burns and hence panels remains cool. In semiconductor material, when electrons move, the LED's are illuminated.

Ion selective electrodes (ISE) also known as specific ion electrode converts specific ion into an electrical potential, which is measured by a pH meter or voltmeter. An ideal ion selective electrode consists of a thin membrane from which intended ions can be transported. Polymer membrane electrodes are based on special organic polymer membrane and are used in electrodes to measure ions such as nitrate, calcium, and potassium and gas sensing electrodes have an internal solution and gas permeable membrane. They are used in various applications for determining the concentration of various ions. Applications of ion selective electrodes in pharmaceuticals offers wide concentration range which is applicable to colored and turbid solutions. In agriculture it is used in soils, fertilizers, and plant material. It is also used in dairy products, fruit juices, drinking water, and other drinks and meat preservatives.

Automotive launch control system is a computed controlled or electronic feature on various performance oriented vehicles which assists the driver to launch the vehicle from a standstill with a combination of minimal wheel spin and adequate power. Launch control system is basically an electronic aid which assists drivers of both street and racing cars to accelerate the vehicle from a standing start. Developments in electronics in the 1980s enable the introduction of launch control systems. Automotive launch control system operates by making use of a computer program and an electronic accelerator. The software helps in controlling acceleration based on engine specifications, in order to make the car accelerate as fast as possible and smoothly, avoiding engine failure due to over-revving, spinning of drive wheels and gearbox and clutch problems. Further, a launch control system in an automobile has multiple tasks to complete for getting a car off the line as quickly and efficiently possible. This system requires maximizing usable power, traction and weight transfer, eliminating wheel spin and hopping and also building boost to a required level in forced-induction power trains.

An acoustic sensor is a device that can monitor physical, biological, and chemical stimulus by producing as electrical signal through input stimulus. Furthermore, nearly all acoustic devices and sensors use a piezoelectric material to generate acoustic wave. The input stimulus can vary and could be physical such as a pressure and temperature. In chemical monitoring, percentage particulate gas concentration and addition of chemical agent are monitored through the use of acoustic sensors. Biological monitoring process includes, volume or concentration of bacteria, biological agent, and the concentration of antibodies. Electrical monitoring includes, strength of electric or magnetic field, conductivity, and resistivity.

The automated breast ultrasound system is primarily designed to obtain ultrasound images with the help of a broadband transducer which is scanned over the whole breast to capture 3D ultrasound volume data. It provides 3D images and detects cancer in dense breast tissues. The Market For Automated Breast Ultrasound System has been segmented by application which includes hospitals and research labs and diagnostic laboratories among others. The automated breast ultrasound system enables quicker scan time, reduces the operator dependence. It also increases the reproducibility, consistency, reliability and sensitivity of each individual full breast ultrasound diagnosis. With the growing prevalence of breast cancer and increasing patient awareness towards the connection of breast density with breast cancer is fueling the demand for automated breast ultrasound system.

Testicular cancer is observed in males aged between 15 to 44 years where major symptoms include forming a painless lump or swelling in testicles. If the cancer is left untreated, the eventual course is metastasis and mortality. However, due to advances in multimodal treatments which include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, a cure for this type of cancer is commonly achieved. Testicular cancer is classified into different types of cancer depending on the type cell in which cancer begins. Cancer developed in germ cells is termed as germ cell testicular cancer and is the most common type. Germ cell testicular cancers account for more than 95% of all testicular cancer cases and are further segmented into seminomas and non-seminomas which approximately account for 40% and 60% of total germ cell testicular cancer. The other less prevalent types of testicular cancers include include Leydig cell tumors (1% to 3%) and Sertoli cell tumors (less than 1%). The treatment of testicular cancer is determined on the type of cancer and the level of advancement of tumor within the body.
