168 t3 Q 8.1 READINESS TO START: CONTINUE WITH ARIZ [What do you mean with "start" here? Start what?] "Readiness to act"

168 b11-10 S is considered a powerful but yet an ordinary tool; it can be practiced is considered a powerful but yet an ordinary tool (see page 129); it can be practiced yes

168 b10-9 C SFR analysis and utilization of [We are going to use the full phrase of "Substance and Field Resources" instead of its abbreviation SFR, here and through out. ] of course.

169 t7-9 S We shall continue to study Problem 57 and the problem about a clothing mill. Their solution should be brought down to mobilization of substance and field resources. [I feel we need some more words to introduce readers to the relation of SFR and the latter part of ARIZ. Thus, my temporary insertion (in Japanese) is:]
We have already learned (in pages 99 through 110) the Algorithm of Inventive Problem Solving (ARIZ) for the steps to formulate the problem and clarify the contradictions (steps 1 - 8). To eliminate such contradictions, we should fully use the concepts of substance and field resources. Thus, let us study the algorithms to eliminate the contradictions by utilizing SFR in accordance to the latter steps of 9 - 19 of ARIZ.
For illustrating the steps, we shall continue to study Problem 57 and the problem about a clothing mill. Very good.

169 b9 S [two figures without captions] [figure captions]
Operational space for Problem 57.
Operational space for the problem about a clothing mill. yes

169 b9 S [in the figure:] effect of X-component [Footnote added to "X-component"]
Footnote: "X-component" will be introduced in ARIZ step 12 (page 171). yes

170 t15-16 S b) SFR common for any environment, 'background' fields, such as gravitational, magnetic and other fields of the Earth. b) SFR common for any environment, for example: air, ground, 'background' fields, such as gravitational, magnetic and other fields of the Earth. yes, this is better.

171 t4-6 S ARIZ Step12. Formulation of Ideal Final Result 1: Without complicating the system ... and in operational space (specify) and provides the useful action of the instrument (specify) [We should make it clear that the readers are requested to make the formulation statement exactly with the framework given below. So I suggest to enclose the statement framework with " ". (Similar way for some steps beforehand and below.)]
ARIZ Step12. Formulation of Ideal Final Result 1: " Without complicating the system ... and in operational space (specify) and provides the useful action of the instrument (specify)" Agreed.

171 t6 S [no explanation about X-component.] [Temporary footnote to "X-component":]
The X-component represents some unknown substance or field, which should be clarified by the subsequent analysis of the problem. The familiar concept and expression of a variable x in algebra are introduced in ARIZ as the X-component. Precisely, very good definition.

171 t7-9 S Ideal Final Result 1 in Problem 57: Without complicating the system ... and does not prevent the flame from sealing. [The formulated statement is enclosed with " ". (Similarly in some more places in the explanation of examples.)]
Ideal Final Result 1 in Problem 57: "Without complicating the system ... and does not prevent the flame from sealing." yes

171 b18 Q/S - side SFR - supersystem SFR yes

172 t4 S provides instantaneous changing of threads provides instantaneous changing of the color of threads yes

172 t15-19 S ARIZ Step 14. Formulate the physical contradiction: to do ... physical state, e.g. 'stay cold'). ARIZ Step 14. Formulate the physical contradiction: "To do ... physical state, e.g. 'stay cold')". yes

172 b3-1 S ARIZ Step15. Formulation of Ideal Final Result 2: during the operational interval ... should provide (specify opposite physical states) all by itself. ARIZ Step15. Formulation of Ideal Final Result 2: "During the operational interval ... should provide the opposite physical states (specify) all by itself." yes

173 t4-5 C This constitutes the answer to the problem, because flame is a plasma, that is ionized gas, it serves as a perfect conductor of electricity. [This solution seems not applicable.
Moreover, in reality, 30 years ago I learned and used a much better solution as an experimental chemist in a lab at USA. One should melt the tip of a thin glass bar and attach a small melt glass ball onto the hole. And then make the glass surface smooth without the electrode.
In page 101 Salamatov chooses the "hole" as a substance. This is the source of his ignoring our practical solution, I believe. So, we should write "glass with a hole" as the substance in the S-Field analysis.
I would like to add some footnotes on page 101 and here in this regard.] I think this requires additional discussions. Why does the solution does not seem to be applicable?
Also, Salamatov have chosen the "hole" for one reason: when we try to border the operative zone, we always try to be as much as precise with respect to identification of a place where the physical conflict occurs. Certainly, if we would choose glass, we would probably come up with other solutions. A main idea behind the use of ARIZ is to find a solution which resolves a physical contradiction and is based on the minimal changes in a system. These minimal changes are achieved if we use already available resources in the system, thus rising the degree of ideality of the final solution.
But please, add any comments you feel would be needed here.

173 b10-9 E Therefore, the dwarfs of the air or the dwarfs of the flame that should work as carriers of charges. Therefore, the dwarfs of the air or the dwarfs of the flame should work as carriers of charges. yes

174 t14 C (e.g. a notepad instead of one thick sheet of paper). ["thick" should be "large"; otherwise redundant.] yes

175 b2-1 S Here were shall study the possibilities to resolve contradictions with the help of indexes of physical, chemical and geometrical effects. Here we shall study the possibilities to resolve contradictions with the help of indexes of physical, chemical and geometrical effects (see the next section). Exactly.

178 top C/S [top left figure does not contain any valve.] [We are going to redraw the figure and add the footnote as below:]
Footnote: In the original figure no valves for operation are shown. To understand the mechanism of this device, we redraw it here in Japanese version, by adding two three-way stopcocks at the top of the U-formed pipe. Yes, please.

178 t10-12 S Do you remembers the problem about measuring the height of a cave, Problem 8, problem about retrieving a ball from a gas expansion machine, Problem 41, etc.? Do you remember the problem about measuring the height of a cave, Problem 8 for measuring the volume of an electric bulb, problem about retrieving a ball from a gas expansion machine, Problem 41 about the counterweight for a deck crane, etc.? Yes, this is better.

178 middle C [Figure of a painting brush] [The figure is not clear. We are going to redraw it.] Yes, I overlooked this.

178 b2 S mechanical instruments (see Problem 9). mechanical instruments (see Problem 9 for measuring the displacement of the order of 0.01 ?m). yes

179 b1 S suturing the sides of intestines layer by layer. suturing the sides of intestines layer by layer (see Fig. 38a). yes

180 t1 E if outer sides of intestines are connected (see Figure 38a), if outer sides of intestines are connected (see Figure 38b), yes

180 t3-4 E was designed for such operations (Figure 38b). was designed for such operations (Figure 38c). yes

180 middle S [in Figure b):]

these parts will die off and heal yes

180 middle S [in Figure c):]

clamps resembling a 'can lid' yes

181 t6 S The Pinter to physical effects¹¹ bridges a gap [The reference position of Footnote 11 is shifted:]
The Pinter to physical effects bridges a gap yes

181 t9 S In the Appendix you will find an extract from the Pinter to Physical Effects; In the Appendix you will find an extract from the Pinter to Physical Effects¹¹; yes

181 t17 S Even less known to inventors are chemical effects¹². [The reference position of Footnote 12 is shifted:]
Even less known to inventors are chemical effects. yes

181 b15-14 S an extract from the Pointer to Chemical Effects. an extract from the Pointer to Chemical Effects¹². yes

181 b10-9 S when you take advantage of geometrical effects¹³. [The reference position of Footnote 13 is shifted:]
when you take advantage of geometrical effects. yes

181 b4 S from the Pointer to Geometrical Effects (see Appendix). from the Pointer to Geometrical Effects¹³ (see Appendix). yes

182 b3 S And here we see the manuscript of his book written 30 years ago: And here we see the unpublished manuscript of his book written 30 years ago: yes

183 b15-14 Q Even the tendency method, well-known outside the ICI course, is geared to dialectics. [I feel this sentence is not clear in a few points. (1) In page 161, you discuss about "the trend method". Is there any intention in rephrasing? (2) What are well known outside ICI? Are they geared to dialectics? (3) What is geared to dialectics? Only yours?] It is a mistype in both texts. Please change to "Even the trend method (mentioned at page 161), which became popular outside the ICI course."
It means that the method is already known and used wider than just for creativity improvement.

185 b2 Q The heurithm can be modified and detailed to [What is the meaning of the word "heurithm"? Is it related to "heuristics"? Is "heurithm" a standard terminology?] It is not a standard terminology, this is a word invented in TRIZ. This is a compound word formed by two words: "Heuristic Algorithm" Might be you better use these two words in Japanese instead of the compound?

186 t2 S The number of levels will be increased. [Your new numbering I, II, etc. is confusing with your old ones. So we use Level 1, 2, etc. in pages 186-188, and add the following footnote here as follows:]
The number of levels will be increased.
Footnote: The level numbers I, II, etc. in the original version are changed into 1, 2, etc. for distinguishing from the levels in pages 184-185. Ok.

173 t4-5 C	This constitutes the answer to the problem, because flame is a plasma, that is ionized gas, it serves as a perfect conductor of electricity.	[This solution seems not applicable. Moreover, in reality, 30 years ago I learned and used a much better solution as an experimental chemist in a lab at USA. One should melt the tip of a thin glass bar and attach a small melt glass ball onto the hole. And then make the glass surface smooth without the electrode. In page 101 Salamatov chooses the "hole" as a substance. This is the source of his ignoring our practical solution, I believe. So, we should write "glass with a hole" as the substance in the S-Field analysis. I would like to add some footnotes on page 101 and here in this regard.]	I think this requires additional discussions. Why does the solution does not seem to be applicable? Also, Salamatov have chosen the "hole" for one reason: when we try to border the operative zone, we always try to be as much as precise with respect to identification of a place where the physical conflict occurs. Certainly, if we would choose glass, we would probably come up with other solutions. A main idea behind the use of ARIZ is to find a solution which resolves a physical contradiction and is based on the minimal changes in a system. These minimal changes are achieved if we use already available resources in the system, thus rising the degree of ideality of the final solution. But please, add any comments you feel would be needed here.

183 b15-14 Q	Even the tendency method, well-known outside the ICI course, is geared to dialectics.	[I feel this sentence is not clear in a few points. (1) In page 161, you discuss about "the trend method". Is there any intention in rephrasing? (2) What are well known outside ICI? Are they geared to dialectics? (3) What is geared to dialectics? Only yours?]	It is a mistype in both texts. Please change to "Even the trend method (mentioned at page 161), which became popular outside the ICI course." It means that the method is already known and used wider than just for creativity improvement.
185 b2 Q	The heurithm can be modified and detailed to	[What is the meaning of the word "heurithm"? Is it related to "heuristics"? Is "heurithm" a standard terminology?]	It is not a standard terminology, this is a word invented in TRIZ. This is a compound word formed by two words: "Heuristic Algorithm" Might be you better use these two words in Japanese instead of the compound?
186 t2 S	The number of levels will be increased.	[Your new numbering I, II, etc. is confusing with your old ones. So we use Level 1, 2, etc. in pages 186-188, and add the following footnote here as follows:] The number of levels will be increased.
