Skipping |
Conduct
a process , or certain stages (e.g. destructible, harmful or
hazardous operations) at high speed. |
|
22 |
*Blessing in
disguise* or *Turn Lemons into Lemonade* |
Use
harmful factors (particularly, harmful effects of the
environment or surroundings) to achieve a positive effect.
Eliminate the primary harmful
action by adding it to another harmful action to resolve the
problem.
Amplify a harmful factor to
such a degree that it is no longer harmful. |
|
23 |
Feedback |
Introduce
feedback (referring back, cross-checking) to improve a
process or action.
If feedback is already used,
change its magnitude or influence. |
|
24 |
'Intermediary' |
Use an
intermediary carrier article or intermediary process.
Merge one object temporarily
with another (which can be easily removed). |
|
25 |
Self-service |
Make an
object serve itself by performing auxiliary helpful
functions.
Use waste resources, energy, or
substances. |
|
26 |
Copying |
Instead
of an unavailable, expensive, fragile object, use simpler
and inexpensive copies.
Replace an object, or process
with optical copies.
If visible optical copies are
already used, move to infrared or ultraviolet copies. |
|
27 |
Cheap short-living objects |
Replace
an inexpensive object with a multiple of inexpensive
objects, comprising certain qualities (such as service life,
for instance). |
|
28 |
Mechanics substitution |
Replace
a mechanical means with a sensory (optical, acoustic, taste
or smell) means.
Use electric, magnetic and
electromagnetic fields to interact with the object.
Change from static to movable
fields, from unstructured fields to those having structure.
Use fields in conjunction with
field-activated (e.g. ferromagnetic) particles. |
|
29 |
Pneumatics and hydraulics |
Use gas
and liquid parts of an object instead of solid parts (e.g.
inflatable, filled with liquids, air cushion, hydrostatic,
hydro-reactive). |
|
30 |
Flexible shells and thin
films |
Use
flexible shells and thin films instead of three dimensional
structures.
Isolate the object from the
external environment using flexible shells and thin films. |
