Using Directional Drilling in Underground Construction
03/09/2007 | Editor
Underground space is an important consideration in construction, especially from a civil engineering view. Not only does underground space provide the general environment for structures, but also their bases – including list pipelines, tunnels, etc.Read More
Breakthrough Carbon Capture: Exploiting Trade-offs
03/09/2007 | Editor
Despite the considerable research into a variety of pre- and post-combustion carbon capture and storage technologies, there’s concern that they won’t achieve the required optimal solutions suitable for timely implementation at acceptable costs.Read More
Generalized Solutions for Su-field Analysis
06/08/2007 | Editor
To help users carry out su-field analysis and find the right problem-solving solutions in an easy manner, this paper summarizes/condenses the 76 standard solutions into seven general principles with graphic demonstrations and examples.Read More
Super Effects: the Synergistic Effects of TRIZ
06/08/2007 | Editor
Just one trend of evolution (out of more than thirty) can be used as a competitive weapon. Trends not only tell us where our products are on their evolutionary journey versus a competitor’s product, for example, but also where products must evolve.Read More
Welcome to the August 2007 Issue of The TRIZ Journal!
06/08/2007 | Editor
August is yet another month full of TRIZ news and stories to share. As ever, we share articles that cover a variety of TRIZ topics, including a TRIZ game for children, a different way to look at su-field analysis and another paper presented at TRIZCON2007.Read More
Student Corner: Whiz Kids Create Award-Winning TRIZ Game
06/08/2007 | Editor
We invented a fun, simple game to teach kids how to invent and problem solve, based on TRIZ principles. TRIZ was a complex methodology for engineers and so to eliminate complexity we used the principals of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon and Digimon cards.Read More
Protecting the Interior Surface of Sewage Pipelines
06/08/2007 | Editor
As a result of bacterial activity, the strength of pipelines’ concrete weakens and leads to the destruction of pipes. An effective ways to protect this arching (vaulting) part of pipelines is to spray the pipeline interiors with protective solutions.Read More
Differentiating Among the Five Levels of Solutions
02/07/2007 | Editor
This paper concerns one of the key elements of TRIZ – widely known as the "five levels of inventions." This classification, and especially its numerous interpretations, often lead to confusion. What do these five levels represent, exactly?Read More
Welcome to the July 2007 Issue of The TRIZ Journal!
02/07/2007 | Editor
It’s hard to believe, but it has been six months since we re-launched The TRIZ Journal! We’re pleased to not only have expanded our list of contributing authors but to have welcomed back authors who helped make our first 10 years a remarkable success.Read More
Student Corner: the Principle of Nesting
02/07/2007 | Editor
When Russian nesting dolls became popular, they attracted the attention of inventors and engineers. As a result, all over the world patents based on the "nesting" principle were created.Read More
Effectively Using the Contradiction Matrix
02/07/2007 | Editor
Trying to solve problems with help of the matrix can be useful – matching real system parameters to the matrix’s parameters enables a problem solver to get deeper into the problem and understand it better.Read More
Alternatives for Sequences of Migration in Services
02/07/2007 | Editor
When deploying new service centers (where management, control and billing of systems occur), it is common to develop a sequence of migration and implantation of services, especially for 24/7-services that require a minimum service level to be maintained.Read More
Case Study: Road Fleet Maintenance
04/06/2007 | Editor
Contradiction matrix application, in an unusual area as road transport fleet maintenance and in a brake system, demonstrates that the scope of applications of TRIZ use is practically unlimited.Read More
Student Corner: the Optimistic Magic of Sorbents
04/06/2007 | Editor
Sorption is the ability of mostly porous materials to absorb solid particles, gaseous matters or liquids from other materials. It is likely that you would use just a simple sponge to clean this spill, thus taking advantage of sorption.Read More
Predicting Innovations for the Years 2020-2060
04/06/2007 | Editor
Predictions of innovations, based on scientific and technical expertise, are more reliable than people usually think. Using nine screens, patterns of evolution and other TRIZ tools they can be further improved.Read More
Welcome to the June 2007 Issue of The TRIZ Journal!
04/06/2007 | Editor
Editor Katie Barry wrote commentaries reporting on her four days at the Front End of Innovation conference in May. Editors Ellen Domb and Michael Slocum – along with other commentators – regularly share their thoughts and insights, too.Read More
A New Problem-solving Algorithm
04/06/2007 | Editor
Historically, each TRIZ tool was developed (and could be used) independently for problem solving. That is why each tool had its own mini-algorithm. This work is a revision of the main TRIZ tools so that they work together as parts of the same system.Read More
Welcome to the May 2007 Issue of The TRIZ Journal!
07/05/2007 | Editor
At April’s TRIZCON2007, sponsored by the Altshuller Institute, Ellen Domb presented the history of the TRIZ Journal (and the celebration of its 10th anniversary) showing how TRIZ was used to solve the challenges of starting an online journal.Read More
Improving Lift/pump Stations Using TRIZ
07/05/2007 | Editor
A significant problem in all technological processes is reducing energy expenditures. One way to solve this problem is to apply energetically self-sufficient technological processes – for example, through the use of a siphon.Read More
TRIZ in Industrial Technology Education
07/05/2007 | Editor
TRIZ provided a powerful systematical approach for a technology graduate student to approach a problem regarding fuel cell research. TRIZ education is a valuable part of students’ programs of study and helps them find solutions to unfamiliar problems.Read More
