Ophthalmic drug delivery technologies or mechanisms represent one of the interesting and challenging endeavors as the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of the eye renders highly impervious properties to the foreign substances. Ocular drug delivery technologies provide several advantages such as possibility of self medication and minimal use of needles; also it enables high penetration of low molecular weight drugs and provides specific targeting within the ocular globe. On the other hand limited permeability of cornea results in low absorption of the drugs and also it renders brisk elimination of drug through the eye due to blinking and continuous tear flow and can cause unwanted systemic side effects as major portion of the dose is drained into lacrimal ducts. These factors collectively impact the growth and acceptance of several ocular drug delivery technologies. The various approaches adopted to ensure development of effective drug delivery technologies are controlled and sustained release of drugs and improvement in bioavailability. Lacrisert, Retisert, Vitrasert, Durasite and Microneedle are some of the instances of patented technologies employed in ocular drug delivery systems.

Power over Ethernet is the technology that offers transfer of electrical signals (power) and data over existing cabling, avoiding the use of separate power cords. Power is supplied in common mode over two or more differential pairs of wires found in Ethernet cables and comes from the power supply within PoE enabled networking device like Ethernet Switch. PoE chipset market is gaining momentum in developed economies as a result of more number of internet users and need for faster and effective communication in minimum costs. Implementing the PoE chipsets for transferring data signals, information can be successfully transferred over power cables, thus saving the cost for setting up of separate network of cables. PoE chipset industry is also expected to witness significant growth in developing markets with the increasing number of end users every day.

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is a power semiconductor device and majorly finds application in switch, pulse modulation and phase control among others. This device competes with other power semiconductor devices including power MOSFETs, Silicon-Carbide (SiC), Gallium-Nitride (GaN). IGBT has been gaining demand owing to lower switching losses and higher reliability, which highlights features including higher efficiency and better thermal performance. The increasing focus and increased investments in R&D on IGBT chip and module optimization to reduce power consumption, improve chip density, thermal resistivity and efficiency would further strengthen the position of IGBT power semiconductor market.

A hospital asset management solution helps in managing and maintaining the various equipments located throughout the hospital campus by a set of automation and optimization processes. Based on technology, the hospital asset management market can be segmented into four categories, namely, radio-frequency identification (RFID), Wi-Fi based real-time location systems (RTLS), ultrasound and infrared. The healthcare industry utilizes all four technologies, while the pharmaceuticals segment utilizes only the RFID technology. The healthcare asset management market includes patient management, staff management, equipment management, and temperature and humidity monitoring segments.
