ABSTRACT
Norbert Wiener (1894-1964), the famous American mathematician and one of the fathers of cybernetics and computer science, wrote, “We are living in an age that differs from all previous ones by the fact that the invention of new machinery … is no longer a sporadic phenomenon, but has become an understood process to which we resort, not merely to improve the scale of living and the amenities of life, but from a desperate necessity to render any life whatever, and certainly any civilized life, possible in the future” [1]. TRIZ transfers the genesis of inventions from occasional events into regular practice through its unique ability to help obtain strong solutions of the following type of nonroutine problems:
• achieve a specific improvement, enhance quality, and reduce cost of an existing technique;
• forecast a specific technique and create a conceptually new technique.
