The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, or TRIZ, was invented by Russian scientist Genrich Altshuller. Having studied thousands of patents, he came to the conclusion that most breakthrough innovations were the result of successfully resolving contradictions in design.

Select the design contradiction to resolve:

Improving Feature:
Worsening Feature:

Then use TRIZ to find solutions:

TRIZ offers four solutions for this problem:

Principle 17: Another dimension: Move into an additional dimension - from one to two - from two to three.; Go from single storey or layer to multi-storey or multi-layered.; Incline an object, lay it on its side.; Use the other Side.
Principle 7: Nested doll: Place one object inside another.; Place multiple objects inside others.; Make one part pass (dynamically) through a cavity in the other.
Principle 10: Preliminary action: Perform the required change of an object in advance.; Pre-arrange objects such that they can come into action from the most convenient place and without losing time for their delivery.
Principle 40: Composite materials: Change from uniform to composite (multiple) materials.
