ABSTRACT

This chapter reviews the updated Accelerating Science TRIZ principles, and examines whether these are indeed principles or rather trends of the evolution of scientific systems. It presents the definition of the laws of the evolution of technical systems as described by the standard TRIZ principles. Standard TRIZ defines three types of laws of technical system evolution, namely static, kinematic and dynamic. The chapter explores the parallels between the evolution of radar and lasers. The operation of radar involves chirped pulse amplification. The development of chirped pulse amplification stimulated an exponential growth of available laser powers. One of the first inspirations and predictions of a device similar to today's laser may have appeared in a 1926 novel by Aleksey Tolstoy, The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin. The chapter looks at the linear and two-dimensional models of innovation and discusses the notion of the Pasteur quadrant in application to accelerator science in particular.
