  • This article delves into the current status of various packaging technologies, which are currently being applied or are under development for the shelf-life extension and quality improvement of fresh and processed meat products. Traditional packaging methods include vacuum packaging, modified atmosphere packaging, and air-permeable packaging. Recently, innovative packaging methods have been introduced that utilize technologies such as barrier-films, active packaging, nanotechnology, microperforated films, far-infrared radiations, and plasma treatment. All of these packaging methods have their own merits and drawbacks in terms of shelf-life and quality maintenance. A right choice of packaging system for fresh and processed meat products must be made in accordance with the conditions of the raw material, storage, and distribution in the market and household, and while considering the environmental sustainability and consumer's expectations.

  • India faces a formidable challenge in ensuring security of access to modern energy carriers to majority of its population. The fossil-fuel dominated centralized energy system has proved to be ineffective in creating sustainable access to energy, which suggests need for a radical and innovative approach. We present such an approach. First, the need for innovations given the implications of lack of energy access on sustainable development is assessed. Next, possible innovations with respect to technologies, policies, institutions, markets, financial instruments and business models are discussed. Finally, an economic and financial feasibility of implementing such innovations are analyzed. The results indicate that such a proposal needs an investment of US$ 26.2 billion over a period of 20 years for a GHG mitigation potential of 213Tg $CO_{2e}$. The proposition is profitable for the enterprises with IRRs in the range of 39%-66%. The households will get lifeline access to electricity and gas for cooking at an affordable monthly cost of about US$ 5.7.

  • Active packaging is one of the innovative concepts which actively change the condition of the packaged products. Active packaging technique controls the environment inside the packaging in order to extend the shelf life of the product and improve its quality or safety. Active packaging are based on major contents of scavenging concepts, releasing concepts, and other active packaging concepts such as removal or indicating systems. In recent years, experimental developments using active packaging concepts between polymeric packaging materials and the contact surfaces of food products are widely studied in order to make extensive commercial applications. Well-developed packaging markets in USA, Japan, and Europe are already being successfully applied in active packaging concepts. This paper reviews the concepts of active packaging and current information of active packaging technologies. The status of domestic technologies in active packaging were analyzed.

  • GILS is decentralized collection of locators and associated information services used by the public either directly or through intermediaries to find information. This standard specifies how electronic network searches can be experessed and how results are returned. GILS is an innovative network approach to assist user in locating information resoruces. This thesis proposes architecture of GILS. First, we study fundamental implementation technologies by the way of GILS and Z39.50 protocol. And then, after surveying GILs related technologies we introduce web-based GILS implementation. This study failed to implement GILS in commercial sector, but have an impliction to raise further research issue.

  • Ultra Precision Machining Techniques, such as manufacturing Micro Lens Array(MLA), off-axis mirror, $F-{\theta}$ lens for laser printer, are achieved, based on technologies in consequence of development of modern high-precision machining mechanism. Above all, FTS(Fast Tool Servo) and STS(Slow Tool Servo) are more innovative technologies for reducing time and development costs. In this paper, it is described that MLA machining technique by FTS, off-axis mirror machining technique by STS, optics for observing space, and development of infrared aspheric lens for a thermal imaging microscope.

  • New forming technologies are being introduced to automotive manufacturing processes. Among them, a simultaneous forming is one of the innovative forming technologies to be able to reduce production time and cost. Several parts can be simultaneously manufactured by the process, while the conventional stamping demands the same number of die sets with the number of parts. In this study, the automotive rear floor side member was manufactured by the simultaneous forming. The position and the size of initial blank were determined by forming analyses and try-outs, and the blank movement during the forming was controlled by introducing the spotweld.

  • Indigenous technological development and import of foreign technologies are two major sources of industrial innovation in Korea. This paper mainly deals with the analysis of the relationship between the two sources, employing the Tobit method. The estimation of the effects of those two sources on the firms' sales growth is also performed, including other exogenous variables such as fixed capital formation and the amount of exports, etc. in the model. Technological import is shown to be complimentary rather than substitute for or competitive with R&D in the Korean industries during 1990. This is understandable because R&D may be conducted to absorb and adapt the advanced imported technologies as well as to further more innovative technological development. Fixed capital formation is positively correlated with technology import, but negatively correlated with R&D. Technology importation seems to have contributed much more than R&D to the sales increase in the Korean industries.

  • A technology to replace the traditional blood sampling method for glucose monitoring has been sought for a long time. It is now possible to measure the blood glucose change rate continuously for more than 24 hours using a minimally invasive method that does not involve blood collection. Furthermore, various technology development efforts are being made for innovative diabetes management through intermittent or continuous blood glucose monitoring in a non-invasive manner. In this paper, we present an overview of diabetes and the need for continuous blood glucose measurement techniques., and then introduce various non-invasive blood glucose measurement techniques currently being studied. In addition, through research and analysis of the recent commercialization development status of minimally invasive, non-invasive, and wearable continuous blood glucose measurement technologies, we examine global development trends of future technologies.

  • Innovation is broadly defined as the creation or adoption of new ideas and technologies, which has become an instrumental tool to determine the success and development level of a country as it leads to competitiveness and productivity of companies. Innovation is influenced by many factors including geographic and socio-economic factors as well as a political framework. In fact, innovation is systemic in nature, and it focuses on interactions amongst a nexus of processes such as Research and Development (R&D), production, business, and education, amongst other factors. However, not all innovation ecosystems have the same architectural models or internal collaboration. This paper aims to review the structure of the National Innovation Ecosystem by highlighting the different actions taken by the Government of Mauritius over the years. The multipronged approach of the government will be demonstrated through the different lines of actions to boost the innovation culture and offers a foundation for other small island developing state to follow to be at par with other innovative economies.
