TRIZ

A Beer pouring robot with refrigerator storage for the beer. Only 500 available as a promotion from Asahi Japan. Great Idea

 E Ink announced the demonstration of the world's first flexible clock using an electronic paper display (EPD). This unique clock offers a thin, lightweight, fully flexible form factor combined with substantially lower power consumption over traditional displays through its use of E Ink Imaging Film^TM.

With a thickness of 3.0 mm, a weight of 1.5 kg and a battery life that is 20 times longer than conventional digital clocks, this revolutionary clock also can be bent significantly while operating. Furthermore, the use of electronic ink in the clock display enables a wide viewing angle of approximately 180 degrees with a bright, high contrast look, allowing for high visibility in either a dim room or under direct sunlight. These benefits allow the clock to be installed in locations that would otherwise be difficult with other technologies.

The Triz Process Step by Step

1. Identify the Problem

• The Environment
• Resoure requirements
• Primary functions
• Harmful effects
• Ideal Result.

2. Formulate the Problem

• State the problem in Physical contradictions
• Identify new problem when solution is introduce
• Techical conflicts that forces a trade off

3. Search for previously Well-Solved Problem

• Use the 39 contradiction matrix

4. Look for Analogous Solutions and Adapt to problem solution

• Apply the 40 Inventive principles
