FebruaryWelcome to the February 2009 Issue of The TRIZ Journal!
February may be the shortest month of the year, but The TRIZ Journal is as busy as ever. Beyond February's new articles, a chatty field of commentators and a lively discussion forum will keep readers clicking, reading and sharing their own views. Logistic Substitution Model and Technological Forecasting By Dmitry Kucharavy and Roland De Guio The application of several models (more than 300) based on the logistic growth function including simple logistic, component logistic models (CLM) and logistic substitution models (LSM) in the context of technology changed the future of forecasting.Substance-field Models for Fourth Class Standards By Li Haijun The problem solving standards are a powerful tool in TRIZ for individuals who understand each standard. It is difficult, however, for new people to grasp the concept because each standard is a sentence with no corresponding graphics.Smart Materials Solve Contradictions By Darrell Mann The value of smart material comes from its contradiction-solving abilities; linking the contradiction-solving material to a specific market need is critical to commercializing the product. Contradiction resolving is important to innovation.

The absence of pointers to effects for non-technical problem solving should be one of the main causes.Student Corner: Measuring Moisture Content of Soil By Abram Teplitskiy The mass of a neutron is practically equal to the mass of an atom of hydrogen. Because of this closeness, it is possible to use a neutron gage to determine the moisture content of soil.
