Abstract:

Creative AI software:

✓ generates novel ideas and new inventions automatically

✓ uses discoveries, materials, and designs immediately after publications to create revolutionary inventions

✓ dramatically multiplies creative productivity of tech teams, yet very easy in use, no training required

The exponential increase of intellectual power of Artificial Intelligence opens a unique opportunity – to build a Creative AI system which uses newly published technical and scientific knowledge to generate novel ideas and inventions in continuous mode.

We call this software True Machina™ because unlike other machines, which automate rather simple operations, this software is capable of finding ideas of new inventions, i.e., it automates the most difficult and the most essential human operation – creativity.

About the Author:

During his entire professional career, Dr. Val Tsourikov has been focusing on automation of creativity by developing unique A.I. engines and knowledge bases for different domains. He received a master degree in computer science at Minsk University of Informatics. As a postdoc visitor, Val studied advanced A.I. methods at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London. Dr. Tsourikov founded A.I. Laboratory at Minsk University of Informatics in 1987. In his Ph.D. thesis, Val proposed novel A.I. system Pulsar, which was able to generate novel ideas in technical areas.

This system became a foundation of Val’s first company, Invention Machine Laboratory, founded by Val and a group of his former students in Minsk in 1989. The company grew rapidly, and in 1992 Val decided to move his operations to Boston where he registered Invention Machine Corporation (IMC), and he served as the CEO and CTO till 2001. Several A.I. software systems were developed and implemented by leading technology companies in the world, including Motorola, Intel, Xerox, General Electric, Boeing, NASA, P&G, Unilever, SAAB, Honda, BMW, Ferrari, and Samsung. A multimillion-dollar contract was signed with Mitsubishi Research Institute to adapt A.I. systems to Japanese companies. First versions of IM-software used the knowledge bases of TRIZ and Functional Analysis. In 2000 IMC launched semantic engine as a pure A.I. tool that can create a semantic network of any text and to help users to find creative solutions in any domain.

In 2001, Val co-authored several U.S. and international patents on creativity automation and semantic intelligence. His innovative ideas were featured by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Business Week. In 1998 Fortune Magazine named Val Hero of U.S. manufacturing (FORTUNE Magazine, May 25, 1998).

Abstract: To solve the damage of the epidermis caused by mechanical contact picking of tomato, a new type of tomato picking device, keeping the whole fruit, is designed. It consists of a separation mechanism, a positioning mechanism, and a bearing mechanism. The separation mechanism of the picking device needs to be designed with the crank-slider mechanism though TRIZ contradiction analysis, and the positioning mechanism adopts the rack and pinion mechanism applied object field analysis, and the bearing mechanism plays a supporting and guiding role to the positioning mechanism and the separating mechanism. Finally, a comparison of various solutions，A new tomato picking manipulator is designed. According to the characteristics of the tomato plant at the end of the platycodon, the growth node is connected with the fruit. Thus the tomato fruit and the platycodon is pulled into the separation mechanism by the positioning mechanism; the separation mechanism pulled the tomato platycodon node again. Recently results show that the equipment has a better ability to pick tomatoes and avoid surface damage during the picking process, and the simple structure increases the overall reliability.

Abstract: 
Blockchain was first used to bring greater transparency, efficiency, and trust to the financial world. Cryptocurrencies, like the notorious Bitcoin, offer a way to quickly, cheaply, and securely connect with people all over the world. Notice, I didn’t explicitly say anything about money, because Bitcoin isn’t just a digital currency, but it’s also a network. Blockchain has the power to create new networks, ecosystems, and custom market spaces around the world. While cryptocurrencies are only one application of blockchain, we will try to explore other potential applications of this very novice technology. We will discuss what makes blockchain so special – it’s decentralization, transparency, and security. Like with any tool or technology, blockchain comes with its limitations, and not every industry needs blockchain. We will try to pinpoint areas where blockchain and TRIZ can successfully intertwine.

Abstract: 
The discovery of antibiotics was heralded as an unprecedented breakthrough in the fields of medicine and science. Namely the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance. Scientists found that while placing an antibiotic into a culture of microorganisms, while indeed most of the bacteria will die, smaller amounts will survive and multiply. 
This discovery led to a proliferation n of new antibiotics being produced. The problem was as fast as researchers and pharmaceutical companies could produce them the bacteria became resistant. TRIZ researchers started to examine this epidemic. The crux of the problem can be summed up as a classic TRIZ contradiction: from one side, to stop the production of virulence factors we should stop killing the microorganisms, however from another side, if they are not killed then the bacteria will persist in harming the patients. This contradiction was resolved by us using the principles of TRIZ and studying bacterial growth.
The major TRIZ principle used in this case is called “inversion” and belongs to the group of methods for resolving contradictions due to structural changes within the system. This TRIZ principle is based on “doing the opposite,” this allows for resolution of contradictions related to the fact that a direct action dictated by the conditions of the problem is unacceptable, but the result is necessary to solve this problem. TRIZ principle: instead of the action dictated by the conditions of the task, we should carry out the reverse action.
Using TRIZ and mathematical modeling 38,000 FDA generic drugs were analyzed, and 550 substances were selected for further testing. Of those 550 substances, three substances were selected from isoquinoline, imidazole, and pyrimidine derivatives classes in combination (synergy) to create our novel composition. We then set out to test our compound in the lab using in vitro experiments.
We successfully performed In vitro experiments on strains of P. aeruginosa, A. Baumannii, and K. Pneumonia. The results were astounding, by the third passage on nutrient media with bacterial growth activators, in contrary to the background of rapid growth, all bacteria lost their resistance to antibiotics and ceased to release toxins into the nutrient medium. 
Our mechanism of action is one in which the bacterium synchronization would be altered, transferring them to the phase of rapid growth which would cause the ceased release of virulence factors. Our project represents a step in a new direction in the fight against multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract: 
Intellectual property protection is crucial both for monetization of inventions and for ensuring that they are widely available to the public. While patenting is the most common form of protection for technical inventions, it may not be possible to some other types of inventions due to certain features of U.S. patent law that regulates subject matter eligibility. These issues should be taken into consideration in the course of developing an invention. The presentation will discuss the current state of subject matter eligibility law in light of recent developments aimed at overcoming its shortcomings and internal contradictions.

Abstract: 
Since World War II till the present time, the leading cause of death on the battlefield, in surgical wards and other severe trauma situations is active bleeding. In fact, acute bleeding accounts for up to 60% of the total number of soldiers’ death during combat. The set of complex wounds and injured body tissues cannot completely remove all the fragments of the known hemostatic agents after their application. In addition, powdery substances of non-absorbable granules form which in turn irritate and delay wound healing. Additionally, the exothermic effect of the granules can cause second-degree burns and at times non-absorbable granules may lead to necrosis of the surrounding tissues.
We were faced with two TRIZ contradictions. The first TRIZ contradiction: from one side, a new substance must quickly stop the bleeding, and the tamponade must be tight and firm, on the other hand, the rapid and firm pressure on the bleeding site may cause ischemia and necrosis of compressed healthy tissues. To avoid that tamponade must be firm and same time must not be firm. The second TRIZ contradiction: on the one hand, in order to stop severe bleeding from multiple injuries, we would need to use a large amount of hemostatic substances, because the volume of the wound is equal to the volume of the powder placed in the wound; on the other hand, it is difficult to carry a large amount of substance on the battlefield. Hemostatic substances should be a small amount and should be big enough to cover a large wound at the same time. 
Using TRIZ principles we created a new hemostatic agent called Gemma. Gemma has the following unique properties:
• Biocompatibility with body tissues, thereby not causing necrosis and allergic reactions. 
• Not cause burns during crystallization in the wound. 
• Biodegradable in the body.
• Absorbs 70 times the amount of blood compared to existing hemostatic products. 
We applied the law of transition to the super-system "mono-bi-poly" and accomplished a great result, when our binary hemostatic swells up and closes a wound much faster than existing analogs. 
We then set out to test our new hemostatic Gemma. One of the most important indicators of efficacy for hemostatic drugs is their biological inertness and complete controlled biodegradation. Accordingly, as a result of in vitro studies, we established the resorption rate of two experimental products "K1" and "K2" which were tested against Celox and Qucikclot as well. The rats treated with K1or K2 healed twice as fast as those that received Celox or Quickclot.

Abstract: 
The current crisis surrounding multi-drug resistance (MDR) bacteria has changed this situation. The CDC and WHO have sharp warnings of the risks of MDR as health pandemic. As such the CDC has recommended Polymyxin as a last resort therapy. Unfortunately, as noted Polymyxin while being effective still has extreme nephrotoxicity, severely limiting its use even as a last resort therapy. This creates a classis TRIZ contradiction: the need to utilize Polymyxin on the one hand, however using it causes severe kidney damage and is ultimately life threatening.
TRIZ contradiction: from one side, in order to effectively treat infectious disease and save lives, we should use polymyxin however from another side, polymyxin causes kidney toxicity, preventing from it use in full therapeutic scale. This contradiction was resolved by us using TRIZ principles. 
Using the TRIZ principles of “pay harm in favor”, imposition, and local quality, our scientists were able to solve this contradiction. We synthesized a new drug, that when added to Polymyxin, greatly reduces or eliminates nephrotoxicity. 
The principle of imposition. Using this principle, we separate the “interfering” part from the object (the “interfering” property — in our case is nephrotoxicity) or, on the contrary, select the only necessary part (the desired property is to leave only the antimicrobial activity of polymyxin). The principle of local quality. a) To go from one object structure (or external environment, external influence) to a non-uniform (there was one polymyxin, now its combination with a nephroprotector) structure.
b) Different parts of the object should perform different functions (the main antimicrobial polymyxin and additional nephroprotector NGL022).
c) Each part of the object must be in the conditions most favorable for its work. The principle of "pre-planted pillows." Compensate for the relatively low reliability of the facility by prepared emergency means.
Using these principles, we created a pharmaceutical composition containing polymyxin and an additional harmless compound (as per principle of local quality — each component of the composition performs its function), in which the affinity (tropism) to renal megalin (a target protein in the kidney that is blocked by polymyxin, thus harming the function of the kidneys) is higher than polymyxin affinity, but which does not cause any toxic effects to the kidneys. 
Our novel product, NGL022, was tested in vivo and shown to be highly effective. NGL022 can re-potentiate Polymyxin creating a top line treatment against MDR.

Abstract: 
Two of the most important events happened during my childhood. The first was a present I received from parents for my 10th birthday, a collection of books and coins dedicated to Leonardo Da Vinci since my father’s favorite character was Da Vinci. The second event occurred when I was 11. My father introduced me to TRIZ, a new philosophy of system thinking, and a year later, he introduced me to Genrich Altshuller. These events inspired me to want to understand the legacy of Leonardo Da Vinci from different perspectives, especially from the perspective of TRIZ. Leonardo’s Notebooks became my guide. 
I kept a list of Da Vinci’s fields of expertise, on which I based my studies. As a result, I pursued a diverse education in 19 institutions and postgraduate schools. This has helped me in creativity not only in the fields which made the cut on my list but also with overlapping their numerous combinations which have been successfully used for more than 700 hundred of my projects and inventions and hundreds of my publications. 
The first part of the presentation is devoted to Synergy of Combination of TRIZ and Bioengineering Science.

I have set the task of a fundamental breakthrough in technology and the creation of new prostheses of the future.
Based on a strong scientific-mathematical foundation, mathematical models were created (for example, https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/c228/285c8defe3dd05c88a46367a83bc15578367.pdf).
Based on biomechanical research and mathematical modeling, a general theory of prosthetics was created. 3D results of our research were published in four-volume books titled "Theoretical Aspects of Motion Control and Electro-Stimulation" which became bestsellers for professionals in this domain. 
We designed and implemented pioneer technology in Biomechanics and Prosthetics (for example, https://www.rehab.research.va.gov/jour/95/32/4/pdf/farber2.pdf).
Even though hundreds of inventions and technologies in the field of Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Prosthetics were created, in order to save space and time, we will illustrate a few examples from our extensive database that were solved by applying biomechanical research, mathematical modeling, and modern achievements of science and TRIZ.
The second part of the presentation is devoted to Synergy of Combination of TRIZ and Biotechnologies 

After personally having discussions with Genrich Altshuller, the next logical step was to apply this approach of self-adjusted and self-organized dynamical system for developing different aspects in the medical field including medical drugs and diagnostics. Research in self-adjusted and self-organized dynamical drugs began in 1993. As a result, a new group of 23 medical drugs and methods of diagnostics were discovered, including new approaches in synergy and the first dynamic drugs in the World. These drugs are quasi-living, self-adjusted, self-organizing dynamic medicinal and diagnostic medicines, which represent a revolutionary jump from static medicines to dynamic drugs with variable structure and synergy (for example https://zenodo.org/record/2547580#.XGVsUlVKiWE).

Dr. Farber began his scientific career with experiment, planning to implement Da Vinci’s model of diverse education 55 years ago, which proved that this particular combination of various subjects, great for creativity. The Model served as an inspiration for his 55 years of a fascinating journey. 
Dr. Farber applied TRIZ to Da Vinci’s legacy, which helps better understand the legacy of a great genius and together with Dr. Amnuel, has been writing a book and a script for a science-fiction movie devoted to blind spots of Leonardo da Vinci’s work.
A concept was developed that sheds light on Da Vinci’s “mistakes” and helps to understand blind spots in his work. This is especially important now when the world is preparing to celebrate on May 2^nd, 2019 the 500th anniversary of his death.

Abstract: 
In the face of raging fire, the affected people anxious. How to effectively control the fire? How to quickly eliminate the fire? These problems are one of the most important issues that the fire brigade will continue to solve. Water is the most commonly used the most effective fire extinguishing agent. How to use the same amount of water to destroy a larger area of fire? How to put out the fire for the first time? How to better protect people's lives and property? This paper revolves around these issues.
The fundamental problem of this paper is that the efficiency of fire engines is not high, so, that is no effective control of fire. Then, according to the three bad phenomena of the firefighting scene (insufficient, freezing, discontinued), we use causal analysis to find the three breakthrough points of the problem. We use the contradictory analysis and Substance - field analysis to solve; get the final effective solution. That is, on the basis of the existing fire engines, we will increase the heating equipment to heat the water to a high temperature which is more conducive to the fire extinguishing and quickly generate a large amount of water vapor in the fire site. And, after practice and market test, this study has achieved great social and economic benefits.
The innovation of this paper is that the TRIZ theory is applied to the design of water heating fire engines. Through the analysis and combing of TRIZ theory, it has successfully promoted the fire-extinguishing efficiency of water fire-fighting fire engines and has succeeded in saving water resources and protecting the environment.

Abstract: 
TRIZ is an important, necessary part of the general science of strong thinking. The qualities that distinguish strong (creative, TRIZ) thinking from the usual, unstructured are considered. A four-stage classification of scientific discoveries is introduced, and also modern problems facing science, in particular, astrophysics and cosmology, are considered. Specific examples have shown where, when and how scientists use strong thinking methods (in particular, TRIZ and creative imagination) in their work. As an example, a new classification of extraterrestrial civilizations is given.
Keywords: TRIZ, science, astrophysics, cosmology, strong thinking, methods, scientific discoveries.

Abstract:

The purpose of this half-day workshop is to provide TRIZCON2019 attendees a condensed version of the highly successful course on Innovation and Problem Solving taught at Purdue in conjunction with a qualitative approach that has proved efficient in finding solutions to longstanding problems in European industry. The Purdue course has resulted in students producing professional journal quality work within 3 months (something that usually takes 3-4 years) in a variety of areas.  The key to success has been a framework of problem formulation that is at once rigorous and easy to set up--dynamic function chains that influence the objective of the problem solver. This framework permits iterative reformulation of the problem that enables far more efficient use of heuristics from a variety of disciplines in a TRIZ framework. Because the framework can be immediately quantified, it also permits immediate testing of solution approaches for feasibility and implementation. Once quantitative conditions are clear, qualitative methods can potentially be used to speed up the solution. The framework is demonstrated in the most fundamental challenge problems facing mankind. Because the future cannot be predicted, the fundamental challenge for human society has always been increasing future energy availability, which increases the variety of situations we can handle in the future. Unlike other animal species, human beings can reorganize to reduce wastage of energy, develop new sources of energy, and most importantly, record human experience, so the next generation solves problems more efficiently. We develop detailed formulations of these problems--finding new energy sources, overhead reduction, and education-- along with a variety of feasible solution approaches accessible to today's technology.

About the Author(s)

Kartik Ariyur (Ph.D., Mechanical Eng., 2002) has solved problems of increasing available energy, reducing inefficiency, overhead, and risk in both engineering and social systems. To that end, his work built in autonomy into a variety of systems, i.e., ensuring that systems performed with predictable safety or energy efficiency in uncertain operating conditions. His work on extremum seeking control is used in dozens of industries, his pilot filtering algorithms at Qualcomm run in cell phones worldwide, his health monitoring algorithms for gas turbine engines run in 70% of commercial aircraft APUs (auxiliary power units) worldwide, main engines in regional jets, and the Joint Strike Fighter. All of them enable autonomous operation of engineering systems. His research straddles most engineering disciplines, as seen from his publications (with 2807 Google citations/1394 Researchgate citations) and patents in the industry (17 issued and several more pending). This is because measurement, estimation therefrom, and feedback control loops based on these are common to all stably functioning systems, from engineering through physics, biology, and economics. To solve these problems, he has collaborated with engineers from every continent (papers and patents with researchers from the US, several Asian, African, and European, countries). His group’s research at Purdue laid out the framework for safe, smart grid renewable integration, in maturing concentrated solar power to the level of traditional power sources, modernizing traditional navigation, making it possible for large scale UAV autonomous operations, and increasing the energy efficiency of hydraulic machines. His current work on lidar traffic tracking aims to make the gathering of traffic data autonomous, and work on the use of magnetic mapping has attained indoor geolocation to within 20cm. In the course of work on oscillation attenuation for hydraulic machines and developing requirements for health monitoring-adaptive control integration for the USAF, he has obtained several fundamental insights into the conditions for engineering systems to run autonomously. He is currently working on fundamental questions of scientific creativity, data analytics, and general AI, besides developing methods to empower students around the world with all the knowledge of K12+36 and more by the time they are 14. He is on the Editorial boards of several reputed journals including IEEE Control Systems Letters, Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, and the program committees of several international conferences.
