Dear TRIZ Colleagues and WTSP Members, 25 December,  2021,

  Toru Nakagawa (OGU, WTSP Project Leader)


Season's Greetings and A Happy and Peaceful New YearDuck on water TORU.1915

   for you, your family, and all the people in the world.

The photo attached I took last March at a lake in my home city.

   It was a very windy morning.  A swan was swimming against

   the wind and waves towards the Sun.

   She may be the symbol of ourselves, our works,

   all our people, and our world, in the very severe time.

   In the coming year it will be very windy, but not stormy we pray,

   and we will certainly go forward to the Sun together with you all.

Thanking you and wishing you your health, happiness, and success in the New Year,

Sincerely,

Toru


Hello, How are you, your family, and people in your country?

Since my last announcement (Sept. 16), I have updated my website, "TRIZ Home Page in Japan", three times:

       http://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/

[1]  WTSP Appeal 2021 and WTSP Paper at ETRIA TFC 2021 (T. Nakagawa, D. Mann,M. Orloff, S. Dewulf, S. Litvin, V. Souchkov)

[2] Internet Surveys of TRIZ Sites in 39 Countries

[3] Re-Imagining The Contradiction Matrix: Matrix 2022 (Darrell Mann)

-----------------------------------------------

[1]  WTSP Appeal 2021 and WTSP Paper at ETRIA TFC 2021 "World WTSP Catalogs of TRIZ Sites and Around-TRIZ Sites,

        Let's Make Them Attractive and Useful !" (Toru Nakagawa, Darrell Mann, Michael Orloff, Simon Dewulf, Simon Litvin, Valeri Souchkov)

      This page posts our WTSP paper presented at ETRIA TFC2021, which was held on Sept. 22 - 24, 2021 online organized by

      Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy.

    (A) Slides/video:

      The Conference requested video presentations for only 5 minutes.

      Thus we made "WTSP Appeal 2021" with 8 slides and video record of 5 min 29 sec.

      They are posted in my website in .html, .pdf, and .mp4. The first and the last slides are attached below.

      (Note:  We also gave a presentation at Japan TRIZ Symposium (Sept. 2-3, 2021).  22 slides in English may be of some help

       for you English readers.)

     (B) Paper: 

       The paper we submitted on Jun. 29 was published in the Proceedings and is posted in our website in .html and in .pdf.

[2]  Internet Surveys (4th round) of TRIZ Sites in Individual

       Countries ==> 39 Countries + 3 language groups  (Toru Nakagawa) Following 8 countries are added in the Survey lists (Oct. 7):

       Pakistan (11 sites) , Sri Lanka (6) , Bangladesh (3) , Vietnam (24), Singapore (15), Philippines (11), Hong Kong (16), Indonesia (37)

[3] "Matrix 2022: Re-Imagining The Contradiction Matrix" Darrell Mann, paper presented at ETRIA TFC2021.

       Posted here in English and in Japanese (Oct. 14, 2021)

       I read the paper the day before the TFC presentation and was amazed with its contents.

       I asked the author and got the permission to translate the paper into Japanese and to post it here both in Japanese and in English.

       I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the author.

       As you know well, the author, Darrell Mann, analyzed patents all over the world and greatly improved the TRIZ Contradiction

       Matrix into Matrix2003 and then into Matrix2010.

       He has been continuing his patent-analysis research project at Systematic Innovation.

       This paper describes his latest developments:

     (1) The "impact" of the contradiction solution (not only the impact on the current situation, but also the impact to be

       expected in future) is estimated and used as one of the criteria for recommending the inventive principles.

     (2) For each case of the matrix cell, all the 40 inventive principles are plotted on a two-dimensional graph of

       usage frequency vs impact.

     (3) For each case of the matrix cell, frequently-used combinations of the inventive principles are shown.

     (4) For the cases of conflicts not only between two parameters (dilemma), but also among three (trilemma), and among much

       more (even in "complicated" and in "complex" situations), an new algorithm has been developed to recommend inventive principles.

     (5) For implementing all these features, Matrix2022 has been developed newly in the form of an interactive app.

    Let's work Together ! Connected !!

   Looking forward to hearing from you,

   Best wishes.

   Toru
