Bluetooth audio transceivers allow transmission and reception of audio files between various types of media players and audio devices. Such transceivers are compact and can be easily carried around everywhere. In the transmission mode, the Bluetooth audio transceiver needs to be connected to media player with the use of an auxiliary, audio/video or USB cable. When paired with Bluetooth headsets or earphones, audio output of the media player gets seamlessly transmitted to paired audio devices.
Fluoropolymers are polymers made from fluorocarbons and consist of multiple carbon and fluorine bonds. Fluoropolymers are characterized by high resistance to solvents, acids and bases. They are highly stable in nature owing to the presence of multiple carbon and fluorine bonds. Mechanically, fluoropolymers are categorized as either thermoplastics or thermosets. They are broadly applied in automotive, semiconductors, IT devices and aircraft among other consumer electronics & household appliances.
Helicopters have among the highest rates of crashes as compared to other aircrafts including airplanes, balloons and blimps. Although the fatality rate is relatively low, economic loss in helicopter crash is significantly high. Subsequently, unmanned helicopters have been developed in order to operate in critical operations posing danger to human life. Unmanned helicopters are unmanned systems designed to operate without any human operator onboard.
Garage organization and storage systems enable end users to store and manage their belongings effectively within their garage space. Over the years, the garage area within standalone households have evolved from a basic car parking space into a vast storage room which can accommodate several other vehicles, equipment and tools which are used for both recreational and occupational purposes.
Sepsis patients present with several symptoms ranging from tremors, fever, to severe confusion. However, the most critical indication of sepsis is sudden and significant drop in blood pressure, leading to incidence of septic shock and consequent organ failure. Sepsis is one of the prime causes of in-hospital mortality and also ranks among the most cost-intensive conditions being treated in hospitals worldwide.
The maintenance, repair and overhaul of navy vessels includes maintenance and repair works on engine & its components, vessel deck, mechanical, and electrical components. For efficient performance and proper running of mechanical and electrical components, standard operating procedures are followed as described in the navy manual. Today, warships are considered as one of the largest platforms carrying complex weapons, equipment’s, sensors amongst others.
Neuroendocrine tumors can be benign or malignant. This condition rarely shows any symptoms and occurs usually in the pancreas, lungs, gastrointestinal tracts, and other organs of the body. According to the World Health Organization, the incidence of malignant neuroendocrine tumors is 0.2 per 100,000 people.
The use of landmines became widespread during the Second World War, where its main motive was to injure rather than to kill. Even after the war, many of these explosives are still active in the regions of conflict and often cause severe damage to civilians stepping on them. In 1997, 162 countries signed the Ottawa Treaty and pledged to stop its production and use. However, modern warfare has seen landmines to be increasingly replaced by improvised explosive devices, usually known as IEDs. IEDs pose a substantial threat to civilians and soldiers across the globe. Recent domestic events involving IEDs include the San Bernardino attack, Boston Marathon bombings, New York/New Jersey bombings and few others.
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are portable and lightweight electronic device that deliver electric shock to the heart through chest. AEDs determine the cardiac arrhythmia and ventricular tachycardia and treat them with defibrillation to resume normal rhythm.
Clinical chemistry, an applied part of biochemistry is the territory of science that deals with examination of body fluids for diagnostic and restorative purposes. Clinical chemistry is a tool used in hospitals, clinical laboratories, and physician’s office to test whole blood, serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluids, and urine samples for detection of analyte concentration, to find out hematology values, to diagnose disease, metabolic function or to assess presence of drugs. The common two methods deployed in clinical chemistry are photometry and ion selective electrodes (ISE).
