An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is an electronic-optical instrument used to characterize optical fiber. An OTDR extracts from the same end of the fiber and makes multiple measurements which are used to detect faults, defects and also measure the amount of signal loss at any point in the single optical fiber or complete network. A proper interpretation of an OTDR trace requires technical training and experience. Optical Time Domain Reflectometers are generally used by service providers, network constructors and operators to characterize each component of the link and to find fault with the network. There are two types of reflections which were used by OTDR, namely "Rayleigh backscattering" and "Fresnel reflection". Rayleigh backscattering reflections helps in calculating the level of attenuation in the fiber as a function of distance. On the other hand, Fresnel reflection is used to detect physical events along the fiber link.

Washing and cleaning products are the substances generally liquid, powder, sprays or granules which are used to remove dirt, including dust, stains, bad smells and clutter on surfaces. Cleaning agents are normally in the form of acidic, alkaline or neutral depending on the use. The acidic washing agents are mostly used for cleaning deposits such as scaling. The active ingredients are usually strong mineral acids and chelates. Alkaline washing and cleaning products consist of strong bases like sodium hydroxide as it dissolves oil, grease, fats and proteins based deposits. Whereas, neutral washing products are those whose pH value is neutral and are made from different ionic compound which are used to clean different types of dirt.

The advanced glazing systems market is expected to witness substantial growth in the coming years due to rising energy prices and uncertainties about future energy supply. Advanced glazing systems have recently gained importance owing to their ability to enhance total building energy performance, thus creating good business opportunities for companies. Benefits of these systems include passive solar heat gain, electric lighting power reduction, and view. The restructuring and refocus of the current and future construction market would continue to work in the favor of the advanced glazing systems market. In the past, code mandated building energy requirements were moderate and the majority of insulated glass systems could meet these basic performance demands. However, the demand for green and/or high performance buildings that mandate energy efficiency beyond code minimums is definitively on the rise. In most cases, the total energy consumption in every building has to reduce by 15% to 40% and this can be achieved with the help of advanced glazing systems. The shift from new construction to retrofit construction activity is also fuelling the advanced glazing systems market. New buildings represent only a small share of the U.S. building market, while retrofitting provides a huge market opportunity for owners, green builders, and energy service provider companies. In the current scenario, energy-saving green buildings hold around 5% to 8% share of the retrofit and renovation market by value in the U.S. By the end of 2014, it is projected to become 20% to 30%. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is slated to substantially fund the renovation of federal buildings, which will further boost the market of advanced glazing systems. Several other firms, such as conventional window manufacturers and suppliers, metal companies, manufacturers of solar panels and solid-state lighting, firms would benefit from the growth of the advanced glazing systems market.

Innovative Therapies for treating diseases are being sought after with fresh vigor as new targets, approaches and biology are discovered. Improved health care, nutrition and preventive medicine in the last few decades have all helped in increasing life expectancy WW. However, this has not translated in any reduction in the incidences or prevalence of chronic or critical illnesses! On the contrary, the incidence of chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, arthritis etc. as well as cancer and the maladies associated with aging (dementia, Alzheimer's etc.) are on the rise!. Consequently the pharma industry continues to grow and is projected to achieve sales in excess of the trillion dollar mark by 2020. By the next decade, one field which is poised to bring a paradigm change in the way diseases are treated is the Stem cell therapy/Regenerative Medicine space. The number of companies and products in the clinic has reached a critical mass, warranting a close watch by those interested in keeping pace with the development of new medicines.
