Forum: Conference Report (22) (Finish): "Personal Report of Japan TRIZ Symposium 2009" 
(Mar. 11, 2010)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Mar. 9, 2010
I have just finished writing the concluding part, and adding the table of presentations in each category. For your convenience a set of PDF files ae also made.. The whole set of Personal Report in PDF(129 printed pages, 6.2 MB). This report introduces you to the overview of the Symposium and comprehensive detailed reviews of all the 42 presentations.
Forum: Conference Report (22-H): "Personal Report of Japan TRIZ Symposium 2009: Part H. Non-technological Applications of TRIZ" (Feb. 4, 2010)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Jan. 30, 2010
7 Contributed presentations are reviewed. Atsushi Takeuchi is promoting TRIZ/USIT in the R&D of agricultural field, especially on how to grow rice. Ikuo Yoshizawa reported the discussion and results obtained at the Business & Management Study Group of Japan TRIZ Society for developing a new business model, in case of a large-screen TV system. Atsuko Ishida (Hitachi), Vitali Altholz (Germany), and Shigeru Kasuya gave presentations in the business applications of TRIZ. Toshio Takahara presented his philosophical view of the whole world on the basis of TRIZ theory and proposed the 'Ideal Way of Life', reagarding it as 'TRIZ Way of Life'. Yukio Matsubara (Niigata Univ.) reviewed the education/apprenticeship system in Japanese history and suggested that the balance of tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge is essential for the healthy growth of a country/society. These presentations demonstrate that TRIZ has been extending its application areas steadily in Japan as well.

Forum: Conference Report (22-G): "Personal Report of Japan TRIZ Symposium 2009: Part G. Patent Studies and Tools" (Dec. 24, 2009)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Dec. 24, 2009
2 Contributed presentations are reviewed. Kimihiko Hasegawa et al. reported their activities at Intellectual Property Creation Study Group, Japan TRIZ Society, and won the Award by participants voting. They analyzed more than 50 patetents with emphasis on the technical contradictions and documented each in the standardized formats. Hideaki Kosha (Fujifilm Co.) et al. also reported on a scheme of analysis of patents/techniques/products from the view point of USIT. This is a work carried out in a voluntary multi-company group, named MPUF USIT/TRIZ Study Group. They intend to build a matrix for indexing from (16 generalized) categories of problem to frequently-used USIT sub-operators, by accumulating the analyses.
Forum: Conference Report (22-F): "Personal Report of Japan TRIZ Symposium 2009: Part F. TRIZ in Education and in Academia" (Dec. 24, 2009)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Dec. 24, 2009
3 Contributed presentations are reviewed. Masao Ishihama et al. (Kanagawa Inst. Tech.) reported on a conceptual design of child seats for automobiles; Minami Hamada (1st year MC student) gave a vivid presentation and won the Award by the participants' voting. [Introduction to this paper will be enhanced in a couple of weeks.] Yutaro Ueda et al. (Osaka Gakuin Univ.) reported on 'how to help recall passwords'; Ueda is a 4th year undergraduate student of Nakagawa's Seminar Class. Toru Nakagawa et al. (Osaka Gakuin Univ.) reported on the systematic classification of various known solutions on 'How to prevent cords/cables from getting entangled'. Restricting and then expanding the scope of the system step by step was the key to the systematization.
Forum: Conference Report (22-E): "Personal Report of Japan TRIZ Symposium 2009: Part E. Promotion of TRIZ in Industries" (Dec. 24, 2009)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Dec. 24, 2009
7 Contributed presentations are reviewed. Yojiro Fukushima et al. (Panasonic Corp.) has reviewed the acceptance of TRIZ by their engineers through 156 real projects in IT/sofware field and has shown that the engineers who were in the TRIZ application projects in their freshman-year produced much more patents during their 2nd and 3rd years in comparison with the engineers without TRIZ experiences. Tomohiko Katagiri et al. (Koganei Co.) introduced and applied QFD-TRIZ-TM (Taguchi Method) in an integral way to the development of new products. They developed a novel air valve which satisfies the customers' requirement of very high-speed response, is made possible by new design of solenoid achieving good performance and high robustness and reliability [an Award winning paper]. Atom Mirakyan et al. (EIFER, Germany) reported an integrated energy planning project achieved by implementing a methodology supperted by OTSM-TRIZ. This is a useful model for tackling a large-scale complex problem which needs not only technical problem solving but also social/ecological decision making. KyeongWon Lee (Korea Polytech. Univ.) reported the TRIZ activities in Korea, saying TRIZ is in its rapid growth stage in Korea. In response to Lee's 'success factors in Korea', Nakagawa evaluates the current TRIZ situations in Japan.
Forum: Conference Report (22-D): "Personal Report of Japan TRIZ Symposium 2009: Part D. Case Studies in Industries" (Dec. 6, 2009)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Dec. 5, 2009
10 Contributed presentations are reviewed. Takahiro Shoji et al. (Panasonic Comm. Co.) has developed a 'scalable' process by unifying QFD-TRIZ-TM methods almost at the 'implicit' level and applied it to a real project of new product development from problem setting to idea generation to patent application. Intel Malaysia has delivered four real case-study presentations, to our great pleasure. They solved the problems of (1) stabilizing the ionizer equipment, (2) leakage detection of coolant, (3) making easy to maintain a handler, and (4) testing the S/N ratio of digital devices from outside; they seem to use rather basic TRIZ tools effectively and have achieved useful /beneficial results. Takuo Maeda et al. (MPUF USIT/TRIZ Study Group) has developed a Workbook of USIT applicable to SW/IT problems; they are going to use the Wookbook for generating ideas of new SW/IT systems.
Forum: Conference Report (22-C): "Personal Report of Japan TRIZ Symposium 2009: Part C. Integral Use of TRIZ with Relevent Methods" (Dec. 6, 2009)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Dec. 5, 2009
3 Contributed presentations are reviewed in this category. Toru Shonai et al. (Hitachi) reported a survey on 'Thinking Methods for Invention and Discovery', with emphasis on Japanese-origin methods. Osamu Kumasaka et al. (Pioneer) also reported an extensive survey and has shown a very useful Index Matrix for referencing from tasks in the Monozukuri (or the whole R&D and manufacturing) process to various methods/tools for engineering and problem solving in a wider sense. The Matrix is of size 37×73, and has been used in the intranet.
Forum: Conference Report (22-B): "Personal Report of Japan TRIZ Symposium 2009: Part B. Methodologies in TRIZ" (Nov. 23, 2009)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Nov. 22, 2009
7 presentations are reviewed in this field. The Italian group (Gaetano Cascini, Davide Russo, et al.) gave 3 presentations on the basis of their 'Network of Evolutionary Trends (NET)' representation of relevant technologies; they apply it to systematizing the current technologies, maturity assessment, and technology forecasting. Makoto Unno (Kawasaki Heavy Industries) et al. reported their views on handling Physical Contradictions on the basis of their multi-company discussion activities. The 24-membered Study Group inside Japan VE Society have been working regularly since 2003 to develop and refine their ways of TRIZ applications.
Forum: Conference Report (22-A): "Personal Report of Japan TRIZ Symposium 2009: Part A. Keynote Lectures" (Nov. 23, 2009)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Nov. 22, 2009
Two Keynote Lectures are introduced/reviewed closely. They are: Boris Zlotin (USA): "Use of TRIZ for Prediction of the Future of Technological Systems" and Darrell Mann (UK): "TRIZ: Necessary But Not Sufficient: Customers And Theories Of Everything". Mann illustrates his amazingly wide-scoped view for us to understand the world.
Forum: Conference Report (22): "Personal Report of The Fifth TRIZ Symposium in Japan, 2009 (Held by the Japan TRIZ Society on Sept. 10-12, 2009, at NWEC, Saitama, Japan)" (Nov. 23, 2009)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Nov. 22, 2009
The Japan TRIZ Symposium 2009 was held with the participation of 137 people (including 19 from abroad) and 43 presentations. The Symposium is reported here personally in English. I am going to post my reports in about 10 categories step by step from now on to review all the presentations. This Parent page reports the outline of the Symposium and its organizing policies. I wish that my Personal Report convey you how TRIZ is understood, applied, and promoted in Japan and in the World. (The Japanese page will be just a brief summary of the English pages.)

Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Mar. 2, 2009
[Annual TRIZ conference in Europe. 80 participants, 4 keynotes, 3 tutorials, 35 papers, and 5 posters presented. I have closely reviewed all the papers presented at the conference and introduced them here as a personal report for the people who are interested in TRIZ. A number of universities in Europe are carrying out research in TRIZ and thus there seem to arise successful cases of collaboration among universities, industries, and consultancies for introducing and applying TRIZ. Presentations and participations from industries are decreasing, to our pity. There are a number of good presentations especially in the field of furthering TRIZ methodology itself, extending TRIZ for integral use with other relevant methods, penetration of TRIZ in university education, usage of patent databases with the eyes of TRIZ, and non-technology applications of TRIZ, etc. Report in English in HTML
TRIZ Forum: "A Report of Japan TRIZ Symposium 2008" (Nov. 16, 2008)
Toru Nakagawa, (OGU), Presented at the ETRIA Members' Meeting, in ETRIA TRIZ Future 2008 Conference, Held at University of Twente, Enschede, Netherlands, on Nov. 5 - 7, 2008.
On the request from ETRIA, I reported about our recently held Japan TRIZ Symposium, with 8 slides. The report contains 3 slides quoted from the Opening Address by Toshihiro Hayatoshi (Board Chairperson of Japan TRIZ Society), and 3 more explaining our Symposium policy: i.e. (1) Open and active conference on TRIZ, (2) Much opportunities of presentation and communication, and (3) Primarily National AND Partially (but as muc as possible) International. We are very pleased to learn that most overseas presenters in the Symposium and also many people in ETRIA highly evaluated our style and achievements of the TRIZ Symposium. English version in HTML.

Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Jun. 28, 2007
[App. 70 participants, 22 papers published in the Proceedings. Reviewed all the actually-presented papers from my personal point of view and reported in English (summary alone in Japanese). A Keynote Lecture was given by Alla Nesterenko (Russia) on her experiences of teaching school children (K-12) on the basis of TRIZ; during TRIZCON2007 Education Workshop was held in order to make a proposal for a similar education project in USA. For further development of TRIZ methodologies, two papers presented by Hyman Duan at al. (China) and by Sergey Malkin (USA) are remarkable in their trials of developing new easy-to-learn TRIZ software tools. We had two excellent case study papers in technologies: Gunter Ladewige et al. (Canada) developed, with the guidance of TRIZ principles, a novel wirebonding technology, 'Microbonds', where wires insulated with 1 micron-thick coating can be bonded densely and flexibly; the new technology is expected to have super effects (i.e. a lot of chain effects) in the microchip industries. Tzu-Chang Chen (Taiwan) reported a powerful way of evaluating patent portfolios with ordinary IP methods plus TRIZ. It is a pity that contributions from US industries and US academia in research are decreasing for these several year in TRIZCON even though contributions from Asian countries are increasing. ]

Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Dec. 31, 2006
[App. 120 participants (and other 80 at the joint Quality Conference of Flemish Quality Management Center), 50 papers published in the Proceedings. Having reviewed all the actually-presented papers from my personal point of view and reported in English (summary alone in Japanese). Organizers (or ETRIA leaders) tried to give/find bases of TRIZ on the scientific desciplines in the West, e.g. design engineering, Axiomatic Desgin, etc. See the Keynote Lecture by Professor Stephen C-Y. Lu (USC, USA). On further extension of the TRIZ methodology, Keynote by Aleksey Pinyayev (P&G, USA) and a contributed paper by Simon Dewulf (CREAX, Belgium) are interesting to me. As a case study report, the invention of "A New Motor" by Vratislav Perna (Czech) and its evaluation by TRIZ experts, Bohuslav Busov (Brno Univ. of Tech., Czech) and Pavel Jirman (Tech. Univ. of Liberec, Czech), are tremendous. The new motor is composed of a pair of 'nonlinear screws' and can be, in future, a disruptive technology against normal combustion engines, rotary engines, and jet turbines! They made a marine propeller with the new concept and demonstrated its superb characteristics in their video presentation. -- Anyway, by reviewing the Conference papers we can learn the current state-of-the-art and future directions of the TRIZ methodology and its applications. ]

Uhrner examined 164 inventions of his company for these 30 years, and demonstrated clearly the effects of TRIZ on them in numbers, quality, and personal inventive capability. Several papers discuss how to use TRIZ strategically for developing new products; it seems to be a general consensus that TRIZ and some other methods/tools should be used in an integrated manner in some general framework of the whole R&D/business project management. Usage of TRIZ in various problems and situations has also be shown.]

TRIZ Forum: IT & TRIZ book: "Introduction: Umakant Mishra's Draft Edition of "TRIZ Principles for Information Technology" " ) (Aug. 17, 2007; Sept. 13, 2007)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Aug. 17, 2007
[This is an introduction to a new book written by Umakant Mishra (India) and prepublished from Technical Innovation Center (USA) as a draft edition. In this book, all sorts of techniques in the field of IT, mostly software, are collected and classified with respect to the essences of innovative/improving ideas of them according to the TRIZ 40 Inventive Principles. In this process, the TRIZ 40 Principles need to be explained, adopted, extended, and modified so as to match the IT/software field; the Author has done this work excellently, I have found. The book describes 1000 items of techniques (in 1-3 lines each), 100 patents (in 10-20 lines), and 100 case studies of techniques (in 10-20 lines) according to the hierarchical classification of Principles, subprinciples, and keyword items. So far we heard many people say 'TRIZ is not applicable to IT/software field'. This book is a wonderful collection proving that 'TRIZ is applicable everywhere in IT/software field'. I wish to translate this book into Japanese and to publish (or more exactly get it published) in Japanese edition. I think this book should be addressed not to small TRIZ audience but to much larger IT/software audience; thus the book title would better be something like "Innovative Ideas in IT/Software Technologies Classified with TRIZ Inventive Principles". My Japanese page is composed of (1) Introduction of this book (an excerpt of my 'Personal Report of TRIZCON2007'), (2) Contents of the book shown by outlines and examples, and (3) Request of volunteers for the translation project. (The page has been fully translated into English. (Sept. 13, 2007))].

Forum: "TRIZ Activities in Iran" (Feb. 22; Mar. 13, 2010)
Mahmoud Karimi (Iranian Institute of Innovation and Technology Studies (IIITS), Iran), Dec. 8, 2009; Japanese translation by Toru Nakagawa (OGU). Feb. 20, 2010.
This is a two-page communication outlining how TRIZ has been introduced and penetrated into Iran. The country where people do the most internet search on TRIZ is Iran, to our surprise. TRIZ has become a known term among educated people in the country, the Author says. Introduction of TRIZ in Iran started in 1999 by Prof. H. Salimi's group in the university, and led by IIITS (where the Author is the Vice President) since 2001. They invited a number of TRIZ Masters for training, and they published books, performed consultings and trainings, etc. It is remarkable that they have used mass media effectively; a series of 5 TV programs were made and broadcasted three times already, and interviews and discussions on TRIZ were broadcasted in popular TV talkshows. ... We are very much looking forward to the Author's vivid Keynote Lecture
7 photoes provided by Mahmoud Karimi are inserted in this page. Most of them are taken from TV programs. (Mar. 13, 2010).

Last December I wrote my own 'Mission Statement' for the first time, during my Seminar Class with 1st-year students. It has 5 items: 1. Be sincere and serious. 2. Move the ego out of the way, and have the open, warm heart. 3. Take care of the health and have a positive mind. 4. Think flexibly and creatively. 5. Serve for people and society. Further description is written only in Japanese.
TRIZ Anime: TRIZ Tales Animation in Japanese: TETRIS Project for TRIZ Education at Schools
Original story: Genrich Altshuller, Story: Getano Cascini (Italy), Pictures: Harry Flosser (Germany), Japanese translation: Katsuya Miyanishi and Toru Nakagawa, Oct. 10, 2009.
TETRIS Project is financially supported by the Euroean Commission's Life Long Learning Program 'Leonardo da Vinch', and aims at building materials to teach TRIZ at schools. They made animation movies of "TRIZ Tales" on the basis of Altshuller's stories in "And Suddenly the Inventor Appeared". Being invited by the project, we have translated the movies' texts into Japanese. Miyanishi's colloquial wordings fit nicely to the pictures. The Japanese version is now available in the TETRIS Project's Web site. The present page provides the introduction written by Nakagawa.
Toru Nakagawa (Editor of the "TRIZ Home Page in Japan"),
"TRIZ Home Page in Japan" (Editor: Toru Nakagawa) has recently established the "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" Foundation, for the purpose of further penetration and development of TRIZ in Japan and in the World. As the first initiative, an Award was presented to Mr. Darrell L. Mann for his contributions and services over many years in the field of TRIZ and Systematic Innovation. His contributions through the research, writing, development, and training are highly appreciated and thanked.
TRIZ Forum: "Suggestion of Several Activities To Do for TRIZ in the Current Severe Siuations"
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin University), Apr. 6, 2009 (Posted: Jun. 16, 2009)
A suggestion originally sent to the Management mebers of the Japan TRIZ Society. Under the current severe econimic situations in Japan, the promotion of methodologies like TRIZ has to face difficulties. In this situation, we should consider some effective/useful activities to be carried our by the Society or by individuals and groups outside the Society.
TRIZ Forum: From the Editor: "Global Network of Public Web Sites in TRIZ: A Proposal for Building Global TRIZ Community" (2) (Nov. 16, 2008)
Toru Nakagawa, Editor of the "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" (OGU), Poster Presented at ETRIA TRIZ Future 2008 Conference, Held at University of Twente, Enschede, Netherlands, on Nov. 5 - 7, 2008.
On the proposal which I posted here on May 25, 2008, I have newly made several illustrative drawings and presented them as an additional Poster at the ETRIA TFC 2008. Various types of Web sites are considered from 4 different aspects: (1) ways of posting, (2) ways of reading, (3) ways of financial support, and (4) ways of description language. Desirable ways of Public Web sites are shown from these 4 aspects. The vision of the Global Network of Public Web sites having both Outward-Looking and In-ward Looking Windows is illustrated in a slide. The 10 slides well illustrate my original proposal.

TRIZ/USIT Forum: "Comments on “Extension of USIT in Japan: A New Paradigm for Creative Problem Solving” Toru Nakagawa" (Sept. 18, 2008)
Ed Sickafus (Ntelleck, LLC, USA), Aug. 23, 2008
Comments by Ed Sickafus, the developer of USIT, on Nakagawa's paper presented at Japan TRIZ Symposium 2008. Sickafus says the transition from TRIZ to SIT to USIT has been guided by simplification, i.e. to reduce structure and to reveal the underlying logic. (See his Keynote Lecture at Japan TRIZ Symposium 2006.) He recognizes that USIT in Japan is 'regressing' to TRIZ in order to address the demands in Japanese industrial environment. He suggests about his experimental projects of 4-membered USIT team to address the bottom line of the company.
TRIZ Forum: IT & TRIZ book: "Japanese Translation Project of Mishra's IT & TRIZ Book: "TRIZ Principles for Information Technology" Preliminary Sample Edition" (Sept. 7, 2008)
Masatoshi Hotta (Sozo Kaihatsu Initiative) and Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Sept. 7, 2008
The Japanese Translation Project has completed its first draft of the whole volume by the end of July. The Author, on the other hand, has been working for the brushing up of the whole book and sent us the 'final revised version' by early August. Thus we are working further for brushing up our translation manuscripts so as to reflect the Author's final version. We have just prepared a 'Preliminary Sample Edition' for displaying at the 4th TRIZ Symposium in Japan. Some early readers of our manuscripts say "This book explains quite different IT & software techniques from aspects of principles. The descriptions are interesting and useful for software engineers without knowing TRIZ."
TRIZ Forum: From the Editor: Global Network of Public Web Sites in TRIZ: A Proposal for Building Global TRIZ Community (May 25, 2008)
Toru Nakagawa (OGU), May 24, 2008.
When I rebuilt my page of 'TRIZ Links in the World', I felt much that the language barriers have preventing TRIZ from its better understanding and smoother penetration in the World. As a practical solution to this problem, I am now proposing here "Let's build many Public Web sites in TRIZ in different TRIZ communities in the World and form a Global Network of them". Each Public Web site plays the role of the hub site in TRIZ in the community (i.e., typically a country), and posts various papers/articles contributed by many auhors under fair leadership of the Editor(s). It posts papers/articles/news of the outside world after translaing them into their own language, and also posts the works and news of thier own after translating them into a common language, i.e. English. By forming a global network in Internet of such Public Web sites in defferent communities, we can build an autonomous and sound TRIZ community in the global scale. This model of Public Web sites was established partly by the TRIZ Journal and in a more typical form by the TRIZ Home Page in Japan. There are also other possible bases of forming such Public Web sites in various countries, as discussed in the text. Full text in English

TRIZ Forum: From the Editor: "The Role of 'TRIZ Home Page in Japan': Towards a Public Site" (Nov. 1, 2007)
Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Nov. 1, 2007 (posted: Nov. 1, 2007)
On the 9th Anniversary day of "TRIZ Home Page in Japan", I describe about the current situations and the target direction of this site. Since the Japan TRIZ CB finishes its role, its Official Pages which have been hosted in my Web site are now fixed without new updates (and wihout removing). The Japan TRIZ Society has opened its Official Web Site in its own server and has (temporarily) started its operation. Under the situations, The "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" continues to be edited and operated by Toru Nakagawa with the hope of serving as a 'Public Web Site'. It means that this site should not be a private site but intends to be a public one which accepts contributions by many authors and readers (in Japan and the world) and publicizes various TRIZ-related information actively from public viewpoints. A lot of things shoud be done for this purpose, and several tasks are now back-logged. I should very much appreciate your voluntary support for such a goal.
