Neuropathic pain results from damage or dysfunction of the peripheral and central nervous system (CNS). Pain can develop after injury to any level of the nervous system. Some of the major syndromes include postherpetic neuralgia, painful traumatic mononeuropathy, root avulsions, painful polyneuropathy, central pain syndromes, postsurgical pain syndromes, and complex regional pain syndrome. Most commonly prescribed medications for neuropathic pain include antidepressants (also known as tricyclic antidepressants), anticonvulsants (also called neuroleptic medications), and anesthetics. Major antidepressants include Nortriptiline and Amitriptyline. Carbamazepine, Valproic Acid, Felbamate, Clonazepam, and Phenytoin are the most commonly used anticonvulsants for the treatment of neuropathic disorders. Major anesthetics used to reduce neuropathic pain are Tocainide or Mexiletine and Idocaine. Antidepressants and anticonvulsants are the first line of treatment for neuropathic pain. The combination of these two medications is thought to be particularly effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain.

GSM, a global system for mobile communication is a standard developed to illustrate protocols for second generation (2G) mobile phones enabled with digital cellular networks. GSM standards were launched as a substitute for the first generation (1G) analog cellular network. This was upgraded over time in order to include data communication such as circuit-switched transport and then packet data transport via GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) and EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution).GSM is broadly used in wireless technology in the world. It has various applications such as jamming detection, DTMF Decoder and several network protocols.

Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, generally metals or thermoplastic, by causing coalescence. On the other hand, cutting is a process that is used to cut steel or other metals of different thicknesses using a different cutting equipments. Welding is often done by melting the work pieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used and heat together, to produce the weld. Welding can be done by different methods such as gas tungsten arc welding, shielded metal arc welding, submerged arc welding and gas metal arc welding. Shielded metal arc welding is also called stick welding. It uses an electrode that has flux that protects the puddle, around it. The electrode holder holds the electrode as it slowly melts away and slag protects the weld puddle from atmospheric content. Gas tungsten arc welding is also called as tungsten inert gas and it uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. Inert shielding gas such as agon or helium protects weld area from atmospheric contamination. Gas metal arc welding is also called as metal inert gas and uses a wire feeding gun that feeds wire at an adjustable speed and sprays an argon-based shielding gas and carbon dioxide over the weld puddle to protect it from atmospheric contamination. Submerged arc welding uses an automatically fed consumable electrode and a blanket of granular fusible flux. Welding and cutting equipments are mostly used by energy, automotive and construction industries. Due to the rapid industrialization demand for welding and cutting equipment has increased globally.

Cardiac disease is a group of disorders of blood vessels and heart. Congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease and heart rhythm problems are some of the major cardiac diseases. Most common cause of heart disease is narrowing or blockage of blood vessels and coronary artery i.e. ischemic heart disease. Cardiac disease is mainly caused due to high cholesterol, smoking and high blood pressure. In addition, several other diseases such as, diabetes and obesity, and lifestyle changes such as poor nutrition, excessive alcohol and physical inactivity causes higher risk of cardiac diseases. In the U.S. heart disease is the leading cause of death in men and women. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2010, in the U.S. approximately 600,000 people die due to heart disease. Prevention or control of heart disease is essential. Prevention from heart disease can be done by, controlling high blood pressure, lifestyle changes, lowering cholesterol, exercising and maintaining health weight. Heart disease treatment varies by condition. Cardiovascular implants have unique blood biocompatibility property, to ensure that the device is not rejected due to adverse thrombogenic or hemodynamic blood responses. There are various implantable cardiac devices such as cardiovascular stent, left ventricular assisted device, pacemakers, artificial hearts, defibrillators and vascular grafts. Pacemakers help in controlling the abnormal heart rhythm. Similarly, implantable defibrillator prevents cardiac arrest. Cardiac implant is composed of polymeric material such as hydrolytically degradable polyesters.

The mining industry involves wide use of various chemicals (flotation reagents like frothers and collectors,depressants, activators, dispersants, pH modifiers, etc.) to caterto mineral processing problems. Froth flotation is a process which is used to separate hydrophobic material from hydrophilic material. This results in the recovery of valuable material. This action also called mineral beneficiation. Success of this process highly depends on the chemicals used during froth flotation. These chemicals are also called flotation chemicals or frothers. They are liquids that produce foam and enable physical separation between the minerals and the waste material. Frothers are designed to be strongenough to make the minerals float and weak enough to let the waste materialsettle down. Different frothers are used for flotation of sulfide and non-sulfide minerals.

In last two decades, the business of refining catalyst has grown from regional to global level. Refinery product values are dependent on process catalysts of refined products, petrochemical products and chemicals alongwith other refinery operations. One of the major concerns in the refinery is to reduce the sulphur content to the required limit. Hydro-processing catalysts (HPC) are primarily consumed in the hydro-processing operation of crude oil fractions. Such crude oil fractions include kerosene, naphtha and diesel. As a common practice, hydro-processing of crude oil fractionsis carried out at an elevated temperature and pressure.Hydro-processing is required to remove pollutants such as sulphur, heavy metals and nitrogen from fuel oils. These catalysts also help in the catalytic hydrocracking process to crack larger hydrocarbon molecules into smaller sizes,to be used as fuel oils. Thus, hydro-processing catalysts enable conversion of heavy feedstock into lighter products for efficient processing. Hydro-processing catalysts market is the fastest growing refinery catalysts market segment in the world. In addition, hydro-processing catalysts supplement the process control and operational efficiency improvement activities. Therefore, it is expected that the hydro-processing catalyst market will dominate the global refinery catalyst market by 2020.
