Biomimetics, a name coined by Otto Schmitt in the 1950s for the transfer of ideas and analogues from biology to technology, has produced some significant and successful devices and concepts in the past 50 years, but is still empirical. We show that TRIZ, the Russian system of problem solving, can be adapted to illuminate and manipulate this process of transfer. Analysis using TRIZ shows that th...

Key frame extraction is an essential technique in the computer vision field. The extracted key frames should brief the salient events with an excellent feasibility, great efficiency, and with a high-level of robustness. Thus, it is not an easy problem to solve because it is attributed to many visual features. This paper intends to solve this problem by investigating the relationship between the...

In today world, organizations’ performance and making the sustainable competitive strength have become incrementally important for them according to the quick global evolutions. The dairy industry is one of the most important industries which has made very competitive environment. The case study of this research is Kaleh Dairy Company as one of the active companies in dairy industries. One of t...

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...

Described is the classification of the main types of solutions, which make the “Solution” Line in the process of problem solving within the framework of the OTSM-TRIZ (1, 2, 3, 4) approach. The Mile Stones system was developed for educational proposes, but it is also helpful for avoiding some misunderstanding between members of a problem-solving team as well as between an OTSMTRIZ coach and his...

TRIZ is an initiative and SERVQUAL is a structured methodology for quality improvement. Using these tools, inventive problem solving can be applied for quality improvement, and the highest quality can be reached using creative quality improvement methodology. The present study seeks to determine the priority of quality aspects of services provided for patients in the hospital as well as how TRI...

Un nombre croissant d’industries est touché par la nécessité de formaliser les démarches d’innovation. Dans ce contexte, les outils issus de la qualité montrent leurs limites tout comme les approches d’assistance à la créativité dérivées du Brainstorming. Une approche telle que la Théorie de Résolution des Problèmes Inventifs (TRIZ) se révèle pertinente pour répondre à ce besoin. Développée au ...
