TRIZ on Design-oriented Knowledge-based Systems
02/03/2009 | Editor
How to establish a relationship between the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) functional basis and TRIZ taxonomies as a first step toward the creation of a library of TRIZ-based algorithms.Read More
Student Corner: Measuring Moisture Content of Soil
02/03/2009 | Editor
The mass of a neutron is practically equal to the mass of an atom of hydrogen. Because of this closeness, it is possible to use a neutron gage to determine the moisture content of soil.Read More

Function-behavior-structure, knowledge-based system, non-technical problem solving, pointers to effects, gamma, soil… All this and more in March’s issue of The TRIZ Journal.Read More
Pointers to Effects for Non-technical Problem Solving
02/03/2009 | Editor
Efficiency and effectiveness of TRIZ for solving non-technical problems appears to be much lower than what is used for technical problem solving. The absence of pointers to effects for non-technical problem solving should be one of the main causes.Read More
Smart Materials Solve Contradictions
02/02/2009 | Editor
The value of smart material comes from its contradiction-solving abilities; linking the contradiction-solving material to a specific market need is critical to commercializing the product. Contradiction resolving is important to innovation.Read More
Substance-field Models for Fourth Class Standards
02/02/2009 | Editor
The problem solving standards are a powerful tool in TRIZ for individuals who understand each standard. It is difficult, however, for new people to grasp the concept because each standard is a sentence with no corresponding graphics.Read More
Welcome to the February 2009 Issue of The TRIZ Journal!
02/02/2009 |
February may be the shortest month of the year, but The TRIZ Journal is as busy as ever. Beyond February’s new articles, a chatty field of commentators and a lively discussion forum will keep readers clicking, reading and sharing their own views.Read More
Logistic Substitution Model and Technological Forecasting
02/02/2009 | Editor
The application of several models (more than 300) based on the logistic growth function including simple logistic, component logistic models (CLM) and logistic substitution models (LSM) in the context of technology changed the future of forecasting.Read More

Student Corner: Inventive Potential of Ice
01/12/2008 | Editor
Ice naturally has the ability to exist in two main technological conditions – solid state (ice) and liquid state (water). It transfers from one state to the other at particular temperatures. Ice is perfect substance for exploring the use of TRIZ.Read More
Using TRIZ to Improve Pem-nut Production
01/12/2008 | Editor
The numerous manufacturing processes required to produce pem-nuts using a traditional machining process have made them too expensive. Inventors used TRIZ tools to improve production and reduce the cost of pem-nuts.Read More
Teaching TRIZ Does Not Equal Learning TRIZ
01/12/2008 | Editor
Methods for adult education have been well-researched in the last 50 years and they can be used to create a robust TRIZ teaching system that is useful in many cultures.Read More
Strengthening the 40 Principles
01/12/2008 | Editor
The authors studied various TRIZ sources at compared the 40 inventive principles and suggest that the principles would be easier to use if practioners divide the principles into two parts: resources and recommendations.Read More
