X-ray security screening systems are deployed at public places, such as railway station, airport, malls, and others, to mitigate potential threats and ensure public safety. These systems are used for scanning objects including weapons, liquor, metals, and other hazardous products. They play a vital role at borders to ensure security and prevent entry of unauthorized personnel and objects that pose threat to the national security. Technological advancements have enabled the incorporation of smart technologies to advanced threat detection systems to improve the level of security in prison & correctional facilities, customs & border crossing, mines, and other places.

mHealth, an abbreviation for mobile health, is a term used for the practice of using mobile phones and wireless devices for medical and healthcare applications. It is primarily used for treatment purposes, disease surveillance, tracking epidemic outbreak, and chronic disease management. mHealth devices are used to improve awareness about the correct practices and preventive healthcare measures to patients. mHealth has been gaining prominence across the globe, owing to factors such as widespread usage of mobiles, technological advancements, and large population base. Real time monitoring of patient health and provision of appropriate course of action are facilitated through the use of mHealth. The ability to treat and diagnose diseases and improved access to health and health related information supplement the market growth.

Mobile virtualization enables multiple operating systems or virtual machines to run on a mobile device or connected wireless device. The separation between underlying hardware and software is created using a hypervisor. This technology is low priced, as hardware and software can be reused in devices such as cellphones, tablets, and others. As multiple mobile operating systems can be used in a single device, it has enabled users to save costs of owning two devices for different uses. The virtualization technology is being used in data servers and personal computers from past several years.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) uses radio waves to identify objects. This technology is used for various applications, including supply chain management, manufacturing & processing, retail management, access control, security, and others. It operates on different frequencies, which are selected based on the requirement of application. Printed and chipless RFIDs do not have microchips in the transponder. It offers ability to automate function and enables long-range operations.

Visible light communication (VLC) is a type of data communication achieved using light emitting diode (LED) technology. LEDs have characteristics of high speed flickering, and facilitate data communication and lighting. This technology is cost-effective, which makes it ideal for various applications. Several companies have adopted VLC as a cost-effective tool for various applications, and offers various advantages over conventional technologies. For instance, image sensors and opto-couplers are used for lighting and high speed data communication. High bandwidth is used for achieving high data transmission rate.

3D scanner collects data based on shape, geometry, and appearance of real-world object or environment to construct digital three-dimensional models. It is predominantly used in entertainment industry to make video games and movies. Other common applications of this technology include orthotics & prosthetics, industrial design, reverse engineering, and quality control/inspection. 3D scanners and cameras share various traits such as cone-like field of view and collection of information from surfaces that are not obscure. Two technologies are used in 3D scanning, contact and noncontact. Technological innovation reduces risk involved in development of objects in various areas, including modular design, fabrication methods, and high-energy densities.

Earplugs are inserted into the ear canal to avoid damage to ear drums caused by loud noise, intrusion of water, air, dust, and other foreign objects. They provide comfort, cancel outside noise, and protect ears from injuries. They are used for hearing protection and noise cancellation by human exposed to noise level of 85 decibels and above. They play a significant role to prevent entry of water into ear canal. The adoption of earplugs has increased across various sectors including construction, military, forestry, manufacturing, mining, healthcare, and others, as they offer natural sound perception.

Embedded software is a software designed to run on a particular hardware that has time and memory constraints. It offers various functions through machine interface, along with precise and stable features. It is also known as firmware, though firmware is also applied to ROM-based code on a computer upon which OS runs. Manufacturers build embedded software in electronics gadgets including pacemakers, modems, appliances, security systems, televisions, and others. Minimization of power consumption rates is possible in systems owing to technological advancements. These technologically advanced systems help to save energy and adjust processing speeds as per the need.

A fingerprint access control system uses fingerprints for providing access to specific areas and is used for building security, employee management, internal communication, and other purposes. With advancements in technology and growing need for better security, biometric authentication is a necessity to avoid potential problems such as data breach, unauthorized access, and other threats. The level of authenticity can be dynamically adjusted as level of security threats changes. Technological advancements have enabled these systems to authenticate in less than one second. Manufacturers are including more features in fingerprint access control systems that do not require wiring or extra technical knowledge.

Flame detector is a sensor that detects and responds to presence of flame or fire. The responses exhibited by these devices vary depending upon the location of installed device, deactivation of fuel line, activation of fire suppression system, or sounding alarm. It is used in industrial applications to confirm if a furnace is fully lit. It is more efficient than smoke or heat detectors, owing to the mechanism used in detection of flame or fire. It used in variety of applications such as hydrogen stations, industrial heating & drying systems, gas-fueled cookers, domestic heating systems, and industrial gas turbines.
