ABSTRACT

Many years of Su-Field analysis of technical problem solutions in various engineering fields, as well as study of high-Level patents from the point of view of Su-Fields, has revealed the standard situations and standard methods for problem solution. The term “Standard,” introduced by G. S. Altshuller, means that a common “trick” to solve different problems results in very similar problem models. Altshuller proposed a system of 76 Standards in 5 different classes and illustrated each Standard by a few inventions [1]. The titles of the Standards are given in Appendix 5.
