9. Genrich Altshuller http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genrich_Altshuller – Thank you! October 15, 1926 - September 24, 1998 Published his science fiction under the pseudonym Genrikh Altov, often in collaboration with his wife, Valentina Zhuravleva. 40 Inventive Principles 1946-1971, ARIZ 1959-1985, Separation Principles 1973-1985, Su-Field Analysis 1973-1981, 76 Standard Solutions 1977-1985, Natural Effects (Scientific Effects) 1970-1980, Patterns of Evolution 1975-1980...

10. TRIZ – Theory of Innovative Problem Solving Be a systematic step by step procedure. { Teoriya Resheniya Izobreatatelskikh Zadatch } Founding Principle.. be repeatable and reliable
11. Founding Principles be able to access the body of inventive knowledge TRIZ be able to add to the body of inventive knowledge be familiar enough to inventors
12. Altshuller studied patents. 200 K Patents.. TRIZ Found that only a small portion are true innovations Remaining are straight forward improvements Today it is 1.4 Million Patents.. he then classified these patents
13. Classified patents into Strata.. Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 32% 45% 18% 4% <1% Routine design problems solved by methods well known within the specialty. No invention needed Minor improvements, by methods within the industry. Usually with some compromise Fundamental improvements by methods known outside the industry. Contradictions resolved New generation principle to perform primary functions. Solution found in science than in technology. A rare scientific discovery or pioneering invention of essentially a new system TRIZ
14. The levels again! 95% of the solutions had been solved before!

Source of knowledge % Degree of inventiveness Lvl Table 1. Levels of Inventiveness.
15. Altshuller found …. overcome contradictions. True innovation strived to Contradictions between opposing forces like Speed – Friction Complexity – Utility TRIZ
16. Altshuller found …. similar patterns (40 of them!) that most inventions seemed to have Patterns used in resolving the contradictions. TRIZ
18. Law of increasing Ideality.. Net Utility divided by Harmfulness Harm >> cost, footprint, energy consumed, pollution, danger, etc The faster you get there the more inventive you are! The evolution of the mechanical spring-driven watch into the electronic quartz crystal watch is an example of moving towards ideality. The Approach
