These could include:
Idea Generation
Leading to new business opportunities.
Technology or Technique Review
Involving a simple literature search or a technology or feasibility review through an intelligent
literature search
Real Time Analysis
Where real-time analytical techniques can provide real business benefit.
Real-time analysis can be used to study chemical reactions in real-time, leading to a greater understanding of reaction processes, allowing modification of processes or products and improved industrial efficiency and profitability. For example, real-time monitoring during production of food stuffs (e.g. roasting or baking) through monitoring of process head space or research analysis such as the investigatory determination of target compound formation in cigarette smoke using pulsed-laser spectroscopic and mass spectrometry techniques, which can lead to product modification and potentially reduced exposure products.
Problem Solving
Which in the widest sense, could be associated with R&D, manufacturing or with environmental issues.
