Capacitive sensors are devices that enable the measurement of the position of a conductive or nonconductive surface. The high-resolution sensing ability of these sensors makes them highly popular in detection and measurement of position, proximity, acceleration, and fluid levels. Currently, capacitive sensing is widely being used in devices like mobile phones, tables, other mobile devices, laptop trackpads, and in many other applications.

Social Networking helps in influencing public opinion and decisions, act as abridge between individuals and businesses and provides an effective medium for reaching target audience with ease. The use of social networking sites has doubled since 2007, which clearly indicates the high growth of social networking market. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are the global leaders of social networking market in terms of users followed by Google+, MySpace, and Hi5.

The Bus Rapid Transit Systems (BRT) is the upcoming public transportation system providing efficient, cost effective, safer and faster transport than the traditional bus service. The deployment of BRT requires upgradation of the existing infrastructure to help improvise its functionality. In developed countries it is known as busway while in other countries it is called quality bus.

Multi-infarct dementia (MID) is one of the common causes of memory loss among elderly people as a result of reduced blood flow to parts of the brain. The primary reason for multi-infarct dementia is a series of minor strokes resulting in disruption of blood flow leading towards the brain. Since this medical condition arises due to problematic vessels, it is also known as vascular dementia (VaD). Multi-infarct dementia commonly affects people of age group 55 to 75 years. According to the National Institutes of Health, multi-infarct dementia is the second leading form of dementia, accounting for up to 20% of all cases dementia cases in people above age 65. An integrative approach to diagnosis of multi-infarct dementia is recommended which involves symptoms, medical history, health and lifestyle and certain cognitive tests in order to assess person's cognitive ability. A specialist doctor may look for blood pressure, cholesterol levels, an electrocardiograph, etc to support a diagnosis of multi-infarct dementia. Imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT scan) or a magnetic resonance imaging scan (MRI)

Lymphoma is a major type of cancer. Lymphoma is a group of blood cancer, in which the blood cells, particularly, lymphocytes grow and divide very rapidly than normal rate. It is supported by enhanced duration of life of blood cells than that of a normal person. In most of the cases, lymphoma is present in the lymph nodes in the form of solid tumor. Lymphoma is a chronic and life-threatening disease and is a collective term for blood cancer; however, it is divided on various bases.

Lymphoma is a common blood cancer type which develops when lymphocytes multiply in an uncontrolled manner. There are two types of lymphomas- Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, out of which non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is more common. Natural killer cell (NK) lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. There are three types of NK cell lymphomas namely, extranodal, nasal type and aggressive NK cell lymphoma. Extranodal lymphomas occur in organs other than lymph nodes, hence called as extranodal lymphomas. Nasal type of NK cell lymphomas usually affects nasal areas and paranasal sinuses. Aggressive form of the lymphoma is a very fast growing cancer, because of which prognosis is difficult to study. NK cell lymphomas are also shown to be associated with Epstein Barr Virus (EBV).

The cardiovascular information system (CVIS) is a web-based collection of clinical information and research material software architecture that facilitates decision support, information exchange and scientific advancement of the cardiovascular field. The aim of this CVIS is to endorse an advanced level of evidence-based professional standards in cardiac rehabilitation. CVIS is a data driven patient informatics integrated hemodynamic system that can store all the information related to cardiovascular disease patient. All the information is stored in CVIS for efficient recording and reporting patient information. In addition, the business operations such as making bill and business analytics which are conservatively managed by separate computer system and can also be managed and stored by venture CVIS. Moreover, CVIS is also be able to provide dynamic reporting such as informatics, images and measurements that are structured in a template-type design for effectiveness and reliable delivery of patient reports. With the implementation of CVIS cardiologists and supporting staff have seen significant reduction in report delivery time.

Transcatheter embolization and occlusion devices are used for non surgical procedures with minimal invasions generally performed by interventional radiologists or neuro-radiologists. Procedures through such devices involve introduction of emboli for selectively occluding the blood vessels. Embolization prevents blood flow to a particular body part or area to achieve effective shrinkage of a tumor or block an aneurysm. It is also used to treat various types of hemorrhages as well as management of malignant hypertension caused due to renal failure.

The television market, in general, and the curved television market in particular are poised for healthy growth rates over the next five to six years. With continuous growth, the curved television market is being dubbed the 'rising star' of the home electronics market globally. The ongoing extensive investments by market majors such as Samsung, Apple and LG have only fuelled these expectations.

Biomarkers also known as biological markers are characteristics that are measured in order to assess and predict biological condition of the body and thus help physicians in clinical decision making. Some major diseases which are diagnosed by using biomarkers include diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular and central nervous system diseases. Biomarkers play critical role in identifying and accurate diagnosis of these diseases at early stage and provide better treatment option. Imaging biomarkers can be classified as diagnostic biomarkers, monitoring biomarkers and predictive biomarkers. Diagnostic biomarkers are helpful in predicting a patient's exact clinical outcome. Monitoring biomarkers provides clinical outcome of a patient after intake of a particular drug while predictive biomarkers help in predicting if a specific drug is likely to change clinical outcome of a patient.
