The objective is accomplished by understanding the effects of raster width, raster angle, part orientation and layer thickness on build time, material consumption and maximum torsional stress by application of hybridised machine learning techniques like artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA). Further, response surface methodology (RSM)-based Box-Behnken experimental design is followed to develop the initial regression model. Furthermore, multi-objective GA (MOGA) tool is deployed to determine the optimum parameter values. The study had shown that complex nonlinear relationship exists between the process parameters and performance measures and the ANN-GA technique had a better fit when compared to the RSM-GA model. Thus, ANN-GA could be a promising multi-objective approach for optimisation of the FFF process as an alternative commercial manufacturing technique to meet the contemporary industry needs.

This study tries to investigate and understand the scenarios and factors that enable academia (where most basic research and development activities take place) to think further and go entrepreneurial to make itself sustainable in the long run. The paper uses a case study design and a qualitative research methodology to comprehend the current healthcare environment in India. Using a descriptive analysis approach, the results of semi-structured interviews are discussed. The situation, actor, process-learning, action, performance (SAP-LAP) method of inquiry is used to look at the results of case studies. Insights derived from the study can be helpful for start-ups, top management in the corporate sector, and policymakers from the industry and government sides to revolutionise the healthcare sector by adopting the recommendations.

This paper comprehensively reviews the trends and innovative research areas in commercial drone technology. The top five usage areas of drones are surveyed, and a master list of drone usage areas in the commercial sectors is provided. Furthermore, the current bottlenecks of the drone industry, such as endurance problems, noise issues, mid-air collision risks, navigation problems, insurance policies, and a lack of technical education opportunities, are evaluated. Finally, a list of innovative and trending research areas for drone technology is presented, which includes alternative energy sources, wireless charging methods, hybrid VTOL-drones, bio-inspired designs, and more. This paper serves as a valuable resource for entrepreneurs and researchers interested in drone-related technologies, and it has the potential to guide the future industry development. Journal: Int. J. of Research, Innovation and Commercialisation Pages: 28-55 Issue: 1 Volume: 5 Year: 2023 Keywords: UAV; drone; trends; innovation; commercialisation of drones; performance bottlenecks.

Hard-skills are often applicable to a certain career; soft-skills are transferable to any type of job. Thermodynamics is a major engineering subject and a hard-skill for mechanical and chemical engineers. It may also be a very important toolbox the bioengineers. Communication skills are recognised among the most important 'soft-skills' that engineers should develop. Technology investors without technical knowledge may find it difficult to communicate effectively with the engineers who do not have this soft-skill, and may not be convinced to commercialise a process. In the present study, three examples are presented to the efforts to improve the communication soft-skill while teaching biothermodynamics and trying to create consciences for recognising 'where and how they may use this toolbox'.
