A power-assisted wheelchair uses a manual chair frame and replaces the rear wheels with battery-powered motors. The floating rim design senses the pressure of the user and activates the motors proportionately. This results in a wheelchair with the convenience of a manual chair and the braking power of an electric wheelchair. An attendant-propelled wheelchair is most commonly found in public venues, hospitals, and large institutions. It is usually constructed of steel, but the added weight is not as important since the user does not have to self-propel.

There are also automatic stair climbing wheelchairs that are designed for those who have limited extremity mobility conditions associated with multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, or spinal cord injuries. This type of wheelchair allow users to move in a variety of positions such as standing, reclining, being elevated, and being lowered to the ground. Wheelchair with stair-climbing ability is major requirement for those suffering from walking dysfunction. It can go up and down stairs independently and smoothly.

Wheelchairs allow individuals with limited mobility to still lead an active lifestyle. Wheeled mobility devices, which include manual and power wheelchairs are commonly used by older adults. Thus, there is an increasing demand for wheelchairs around the world. An estimated 1.5 million people in the United States use manual wheelchairs, according to the National Health Interview Survey on Disability. Today, more than 46 million people age 65 and older living in the U.S., and the number is expected to reach around 90 million by 2050.

ESD Bags are used to store sensitive electronic components that can be easily influenced by electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Image
An ESD bag is an antistatic bag used for storing electronic components. These components are susceptible to electrostatic discharge, a form of damage that can cause the entire system to shut down. An ESD bag keeps these electronic parts safe and secure. However, it can't protect all electronic parts from ESD. According to the " Coherent Market Insights " Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis of ESD Bags Market . ESD Bags Market ESD bags are usually black. They contain vacuum-deposited aluminum. They meet two requirements: low charging and an electrostatic discharge shielding barrier. They also have a longer shelf life. Moisture protection is also a must. Prior to vacuum sealing, a moisture monitor card or desiccant pack is placed in the bag. Bondline offers both metallized and non-metallic barrier bags. The black ones are the most popular. A good ESD bag will protect electronic devices against ESD. Some of them are moisture barrier bags...
