Automotive telematics is a combination of telecommunication and informatics used in road transportation, vehicular technologies and road and vehicle safety. Automotive telematics uses integrated systems comprising of electronic devices such as sensors, wireless communication technologies such as satellite navigation, mobile data and vehicle tracking and computer science. The sensors such as gyroscope, accelerometer, odometer etc. calculate parameters such as distance, speed, direction and detect surrounding objects. This information collected by sensors is send to the control unit over a wireless communication network such as radio, cellular or satellite. The control unit uses pre-programmed algorithms to process and analyze such information and take decisions pertaining to vehicle motoring. Such integrated systems provide functionalities such as transport feasibility check, automatic vehicle motoring and road safety.

As a result, more consumers switched towards a more rational buying pattern, choosing predominantly essential products and excluding non-essential items from their shopping lists. Therefore, only basic hygiene products did not record too much of a decline, while the majority...

Neuroprosthetics are implantable devices designed by combining neuroscience and biomedical engineering. These artificial implantable devices provide electrical stimulation that improves the functionality of a diseased nervous system. These devices either are implanted inside the body or can be worn externally. These are used either to replace a lost function of the body such as cognitive ability or to treat neurological conditions such as depression, chronic pain, epilepsy, or spinal cord injuries. Based on application, neuroprosthetics are segmented into cognitive devices and neuromodulation devices. Based on technology, neuroprosthetics are segmented into SCS system, DBS system, SNS system, VNS system, and others.

Interactive response systems are also known as student response systems, audience response systems, and clickers. These systems are a combined package of software and hardware. The interactive response systems are used in integrating IT with daily classroom activities to ensure consistent and seamless interactions during lecture sessions. Among all features, the key advantage of interactive response system is the ability to enable students to submit answers during classroom quizzes and assignments to the teachers. A receiver is attached to the computer systems of teachers that receive answers in the form of radio frequency. The software in the computer systems instantly analyses and presents results in the form of spreadsheets. This enables real time evaluation and tracking of student performance. Such prompt features have huge implications for the education industry as a form of data source for course content and delivery enhancement.

Within the oral mucosal cavity, the buccal region offers an attractive route of administration for systemic drug delivery. The mucosa has a rich blood supply and it is relatively permeable. The buccal mucosa offers several advantages for controlled drug delivery for extended periods of time. The mucosa is well supplied with both vascular and lymphatic drainage and first-pass metabolism in the liver and pre-systemic elimination in the gastrointestinal tract are avoided. The area is well suited for a retentive device and appears to be acceptable to the patient. With the right dosage form design and formulation, the permeability and the local environment of the mucosa can be controlled and manipulated in order to accommodate drug permeation. Buccal drug delivery is a promising area for continued research with the aim of systemic delivery of orally inefficient drugs as well as a feasible and attractive alternative for non-invasive delivery of potent peptide and protein drug molecules. In 2014, sales of Suboxone sublingual film totalled approximately $1.3 billion in the U.S. while the total market grew to more than $1.7 billion, driven by a 11 percent increase in prescriptions.
