Existing smart lawnmowers, while convenient to use, have significant limitations, such as a lack of manoeuvrability on uneven agricultural grassland (constraint 1), high charging frequency 2) and low local market penetration 3). Although the effectiveness theory inventive problem solving (TRIZ) has been demonstrated in several design studies, there also seems be research addressing difficulties...

Development of robust diagnostic solutions to monitor the health of systems and components to ensure through life cost effectiveness is often technically difficult, requiring an effective integration of design development with research and innovation. This paper presents a structured application of TRIZ and USIT (Unified Structured Inventive Thinking) to generate concept solutions for an in-ser...

introduction: according to the ethology theory mother infant separation immediately after birth can interfere with the infants innate behaviors for the initiation of breastfeeding. the aim of this study was to the effect of an interventional program based on the theory of ethology on infant breast feeding competence materials and methods: 114 primiparous, iranian, healthy, full term mothers bet...

Ambalaj tasarımı günümüz tüketim çağında firmalar için oldukça önemli bir konuma sahiptir. Raflarda arada belirlenmiş düzene göre sergilenen ambalajlar birbirleri ile rekabet içerisinde olan firmaların temsilcileridir. Bu ürünler doğru hedef kitlesine ulaşmadığı sürece görevini yerine getiremez. sebeple kitlesinin belirlenmesi ve ona yönelik tasarımlar sunulması ürünün başarılı olması önemlidir...

Based on an established theoretical framework of the drivers of inventive performance, the so-called KSAO (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other) factors, this paper seeks to explain empirically the performance of inventors throughout their careers. We combine survey information spanning the inventors’ entire careers and psychometric test evidence, with patent history data for more than 1,000...

Problem solving is a key activity for any innovative company. As the dialectical approach has shown its efficiency in problem solving, the starting point of our work is the use of contradiction in problem formulation stage. In this article, we analyse the possibility to use information brought by a Design of Experiments (DoE) to formulate a contradiction. Constraint Satisfaction Problem is empl...

In this paper detail of the optimization of a flexure design which is used in many MEMS devices will be presented. Due to a difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the flip-chip bonded MEMS device and the substrate, cooling after bonding can cause the MEMS to buckle; It is necessary to decrease the influence of distortion by using the correct material selection, welding method, wel...

An efficient assignment and scheduling of tasks is one of the key elements in effective utilization of heterogeneous multiprocessor systems. The task scheduling problem has been proven to be NP-hard is the reason why we used meta-heuristic methods for finding a suboptimal schedule. In this paper we proposed a new approach using TRIZ (specially 40 inventive principles). The basic idea of thi...
