Very intriguing.

What is TRIZ?
"TIPS" is the acronym for "Theory of Inventive Problem Solving," and "TRIZ" is the acronym for the same phrase in Russian. TRIZ was developed by Genrich Altshuller and his colleagues in the former USSR starting in 1946, and is now being developed and practiced throughout the world.
TRIZ research began with the hypothesis that there are universal principles of invention that are the basis for creative innovations that advance technology, and that if these principles could be identified and codified, they could be taught to people to make the process of invention more predictable. The research has proceeded in several stages over the last 50 years. Over 2 million patents have been examined, classified by level of inventiveness, and analyzed to look for principles of innovation. The three primary findings of this research are as follows:
TRIZ works! Large and small companies are using TRIZ on many levels to solve real, practical everyday problems and to develop strategies for the future of technology. TRIZ is in use at Ford, Motorola, Procter & Gamble, Eli Lilly, Jet Propulsion Laboratories, 3M, Siemens, Phillips, LG, and hundreds more.

http://www.triz40.com/aff_Principles.htm - These are the 40 principles listed
The Home page TRIZ40.com has a neat Interactive TRIZ Contradiction Matrix that lets you input a pair of positive and negative aspects of the item you are designing and it gives you suggestions to improve it.
I've been wasting time on it for a while. This is cool!
The way everyone likes to tinker and build things in the shop, this ought to be a cool, useful thing to consult and learn about.
Case in point: Any body remember those fence mowers that were discussed so much at the other site?
Some of those guys who built those mowers (wierd) could have benefited from this!
Now, you too can waste more time on the Internet with this!

Over 2 million patents have been examined, classified by level of inventiveness, and analyzed to look for principles of innovation. The three primary findings of this research are as follows:
- Problems and solutions were repeated across industries and sciences
- Patterns of technical evolution were repeated across industries and sciences
- Innovations used scientific effects outside the field where they were developed
