Chapter 5 (Question/Comments by Nakagawa and Answers by Souchkov)

P L E/Q/C Is Has to be [or Questions] Answer

90 t7-8 Q Corollary to the law: to make a part of the system controllable it is necessary to provide power conductivity between given part and the control unit [You use the word "power" here without any explanation. Is it different from "energy"? You seem to distinguish these words in some sentences in this section 5.1 but do not in other sentences. Please add some explanation as a footnote. I also feel one small paragraph should be given in the text to explain this Corollary.] The confusion might occur due to the use of the word "power" in other TRIZ translations from Russian to English. Sometimes, you can see the title "The law of power conductivity", which is not correct. Actually, when we are talking about the law of energy conductivity, we are talking about the conductivity of a flow of energy through a system, and not about the power. We should use the term power as a characteristic of the energy flow at a given point (as follows from System Theory).
In this particular example, must be: "Corollary to the law: to make a part of the system controllable it is necessary to provide energy conductivity between given part and the control unit"
[Sorry, editing of the English translation of book was too overwhelming and I had that not much time resources at our start-up.]

90 t15-16 S technical system should not only be a suitable power conductor but should also operate with minimal energy losses technical system should not only be a suitable energy conductor but should also operate with minimal energy losses yes

90 t17-18 Q/S withdrawal of energy with ready-made artifact, etc.). [The word "ready-made" seems not suitable.] withdrawal of energy together with artifact worked upon, etc.). yes

90 b4 Q in the following order: gravitational - mechanical - thermal - magnetic - electric - electromagnetic. [The order "magnetic - electric" seems reasonable here, but I saw the reverse order "electric - magnetic" in some context in TRIZ literature. Would you give us some comments? And, I feel, in many cases thermal parts are less controllable than mechanical parts.] There are several different views in TRIZ concerning this particular order. In Russian, it was easy to remember the word "MATChEM" (mechanical ? acoustic ? thermal ? chemical ? electric ? magnetic), that's why you can meet other versions which are drawn from the past. I tend to believe that Salamatov's version is more correct since electromagnetic field can be controlled by switching on/off electric current, therefore it is regarded as having a higher degree of controllability than magnetic field which can be only controlled via changing distance or Curie Point. And in general, thermal field is regarded as more controllable field rather than mechanical field (due to operating at micro-level).

91 t10-11 Q is a technical system's part or a natural of technical process [What is the meaning of "a natural" here?] means non-artificially created, like the temperature of a stone.

91 t12-13 S The assumption that technical system needs power conductivity is already part of the answer. The assumption that technical system needs energy conductivity throughout its parts and power conductivity between its control unit and the parts to be controlled is already part of the answer. yes

91 b19-17 S Is there good conductivity between the technical system (robot) parts and the control unit (human worker)? Is there good power conductivity between the technical system (robot) parts and the control unit (human worker)? yes

91 b14-13 S An instant connection is necessary: click! - and the robot is off. An instant disconnection is necessary: click! - and the robot is off. yes

91 b6 S (eyes can sight an object in no time!). Now you are sure to solve the next problem (eyes can sight an object in no time!).
Now you are sure to solve the next problem [New paragraph] yes

92 t1 Q The radiators of such cars are equipped with an extra infrared headlight. [What do you mean by "radiators" here? Is it the parts for heat discharge of the engine? Or do you mean just the "front" part of a car?] Radiator here means a metal grid residing on the front part of the car for supplying cold stream of air when the car is moving to an engine to cool down the engine. But the "front part" will be ok too.

92 t17-18 S This gives the idea to use infrared rays (infrared heating) or microwave frequencies (microwave heating). This gives the idea to use infrared rays (infrared heating) or microwave radiation (microwave heating). yes

92 b16-17 S Also, the system should have good conductivity to allow a discharge of excessive energy; Also, the system should have good energy conductivity to allow a discharge of excessive energy; yes

92 b17 E for example, the quick withdraw of friction heat so as to for example, the quick withdrawal of friction heat so as to yes

94 t9-10 S But what if it is necessary to change several fabrics on one and the same pattern during one shift? But what if it is necessary to change several fabrics of different colors on one and the same pattern during one shift? yes

95 t23 Q/S One of the researchers into creative mechanics One of the researchers into creativity mechanism yes

97 b8-7 E Inversion ("do it the other way round") - the most common device (a function, property or the entire object is changed to its opposite). Inversion ("do it the other way round" - the most common device (a function, property or the entire object) is changed to its opposite). yes

98 t5 E Firstly, do not to reject the tool you chose Firstly, do not reject the tool you chose yes

99 t11-13 S A clearly-defined problem equals the formulation of its main physical contradiction and stands only one step away from the solution. A clearly-defined problem equals the formulation of its main technical/physical contradiction and stands only one step away from the solution. Actually, the original text is correct. When we use ARIZ, we must continue reformulating the problem until a physical contradiction is revealed, despite that we can come up with solution concepts even at some early steps of ARIZ.

99 b7 Q/C But the expert may have been misled at any level of the system. [A number of possible approaches are shown to the car wobbling problem, but the discussion goes on without mentioning which approach should be taken and how the reader should think. We would like to have at least a footnote on this point.] This particular example is not meant to demonstrate what problem is to be chosen. It only shows that a variety of possible problems can be formulated at different system levels. The goal of the chapter is to define how such the inventive situations are tackled with ARIZ.

100 t3 C Problem 57. [We are going to add a footnote for Japanese readers: See "Enlightened with TRIZ", Nikkei Mechanical, June, 1998, p. 104.] yes, of course, please add any references you feel would be necessary or desirable

100 b9-8 Q ARIZ helps with presenting a problem in terms of physical conflict. [Here and later, the word "conflict" is used very often with a similar meaning to "contradiction". Is there any difference in using the two words? May we use the terminology "physical contradiction" here?] In TRIZ, there is no difference between the words "conflict" and "contradiction".
(as well as in Russian language, the difference is negligible).

100 b7-6 Q from determining technical contradiction to revealing physical conflict. from determining technical contradiction to revealing physical contradiction. [Is this OK?] yes

101 t5 S How does this design work? How does this design of sealing process work? yes

101 t5-7 S The electrode is inserted into the tube, the external electrode moves past the joint. If a glow is detected, the point of glow is remembered. The internal electrode is inserted into the tube, while the external electrode moves past the joint. If a glow of a hole is detected, the point of glow is remembered. yes

102 t12-13 S The transition from situation to mini-problem does not mean that we strive to solve this minor problem. The transition from problem situation to mini-problem does not mean that we strive to solve a minor problem. yes

102 b17-16 S This solution will be easy to implement and will not require considerable changes in the technical system. The solution to mini-problem will be easy to implement and will not require considerable changes in the technical system. yes

102 b16-15 S It is only when the mini-problem yields no solution that one can proceed to maxi-problem. It is only when the mini-problem yields no solution that one should proceed to maxi-problem. yes

103 b10-9 C glass artifacts, includes a glass product, a conductor, and the flame of the torch. [We are going to add a footnote for Japanese readers: To avoid words having specific technological means, the word "electrode" is replaced here by a more general word "conductor".] yes

104 [no enclosure] [The whole page should be in an enclosure.] yes

104 t5 E (in order expand the variety of clothes) (in order to expand the variety of clothes) yes

105 b19 S 6. The artifact is the component which, according to the conditions, is subject to any kind of treatment 6. The artifact is the component which, according to the problem conditions, is subject to any kind of treatment exactly

106 b12-11 E nine kinds of standard contradictions between the artifact and the instrument (see page 109). nine kinds of standard contradictions between the artifact and the instrument (see page 110). yes

99 t11-13 S	A clearly-defined problem equals the formulation of its main physical contradiction and stands only one step away from the solution.	A clearly-defined problem equals the formulation of its main technical/physical contradiction and stands only one step away from the solution.	Actually, the original text is correct. When we use ARIZ, we must continue reformulating the problem until a physical contradiction is revealed, despite that we can come up with solution concepts even at some early steps of ARIZ.
99 b7 Q/C	But the expert may have been misled at any level of the system.	[A number of possible approaches are shown to the car wobbling problem, but the discussion goes on without mentioning which approach should be taken and how the reader should think. We would like to have at least a footnote on this point.]	This particular example is not meant to demonstrate what problem is to be chosen. It only shows that a variety of possible problems can be formulated at different system levels. The goal of the chapter is to define how such the inventive situations are tackled with ARIZ.
100 t3 C	Problem 57.	[We are going to add a footnote for Japanese readers: See "Enlightened with TRIZ", Nikkei Mechanical, June, 1998, p. 104.]	yes, of course, please add any references you feel would be necessary or desirable
100 b9-8 Q	ARIZ helps with presenting a problem in terms of physical conflict.	[Here and later, the word "conflict" is used very often with a similar meaning to "contradiction". Is there any difference in using the two words? May we use the terminology "physical contradiction" here?]	In TRIZ, there is no difference between the words "conflict" and "contradiction". (as well as in Russian language, the difference is negligible).
