Research and development (R&D or R+D), also known in Europe as research and technical (or technological) development (RTD), is a general term for activities in connection with corporate or governmental innovation.

Research and development is situated at the front end of the innovation life cycle, which may end with commercialization.

Manufacturing is the value added to production of merchandise for use or sale using labour and machines, tools, chemical and biological processing, or formulation.

The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale.

Such finished goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other, more complex products, such as aircraft, household appliances or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who in turn sell them to retailers, who then sell them to end users and consumers.

A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the substrate.

The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both.

The coating itself may be an all-over coating, completely covering the substrate, or it may only cover parts of the substrate.

An example of all of these types of coating is a product label on many drinks bottles- one side has an all-over functional coating (the adhesive) and the other side has one or more decorative coatings in an appropriate pattern (the printing) to form the words and images.

A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure.

As such, it is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape.

A liquid is made up of tiny vibrating particles of matter, such as atoms, held together by intermolecular bonds.

Water is, by far, the most common liquid on Earth.

Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container.

Most liquids resist compression, although others can be compressed.

Unlike a gas, a liquid does not disperse to fill every space of a container, and maintains a fairly constant density.

A distinctive property of the liquid state is surface tension, leading to wetting phenomena.

A multinational corporation or worldwide enterprise is a corporate organization that owns or controls production of goods or services in one or more countries other than their home country.

It can also be referred to as an international corporation, a transnational corporation, or a stateless corporation.

There are subtle but real differences between these three labels, as well as those labels of multinational corporation and a worldwide enterprise.
