 | TRIZ. Target Invention Practiceby Nikolay Shpakovsky and Elena Novitskaya Training aid
Publishing house “Forum”, Moscow, 2011 (in Russian)
ISBN 978-5-91134-531-0 The training aid is dedicated to the target invention methodology which consists in revealing and solving specific technical or organizational problems.
The training aid is divided into three parts. The first part shortly describes the theoretical basics of target invention. The second part is dedicated to the explanation of the algorithm of improving problem situations (AIPS). Detailed consideration is given to each step of the algorithm and special methods used for performing this step. The third part deals with the comprehensive analysis of production problems solved according to the algorithm. In conclusion, a reader if offered several problems for independent solving.
The appendix contains a glossary which explains key terms; basic technical system evolution patterns illustrated with examples; method index.
The training aid is designed both for technical students – future engineers – and for students of business departments. It can also be useful to working engineers, designers, managers and other specialists who must quickly and effectively solve various problems of organizational or technical character. |

 | TRIZ. Analysis of Technical Information and Generation of New Ideasby Nikolay Shpakovsky Training aid
Publishing house “Forum”, Moscow, 2010 (in Russian)
ISBN 978-5-91134-389-7 The book is dedicated to the improvement of inventive problem solving methods and methods of forecasting the evolution of products for winning a patent struggle in particular.
A heightened attention to this aspect of innovation activity can provide a considerable benefit to a company whereas its underestimation can lead to serious losses.
In solving inventive problems and in forecasting, of great importance is adequate and effective processing of information about different versions of a technical system. Only properly classified information, that is, creation of a full and logical information structure, allows effective analysis of information.
To provide such structuring, the author has developed a special classification method for technical information. It consists in organizing information into an Evolution Tree. |

 | Processing of Technical and Patent Information by Using Evolution Treesby Nikolay Shpakovsky (co-authorship) E-book, “MRI System”, Tokyo, 2004 (in Japanese) The work with patent information aimed at the circumvention of competing patents and creation of a reliable protection for own developments is of great importance. Giving special attention to this work can bring a considerable profit to a company while its underestimation can cause serious losses.
How is it possible to improve current methods of patent information processing? First of all by improving the analysis quality of collected information. Information analysis will be sufficiently effective if information is properly classified, i.e. a full and logic information structure is built. |

 | No-till. A Step Toward Ideal Farmingby Nikolay Shpakovsky (co-authorship) “Narodnoye obrazovanie” publishing house.
Moscow. 2006 (in Russian) The book describes a comparatively new (for Russia) approach to farming – the soil-preserving soil treatment technology known in the world as no-till. The technology implies minimal disturbance of the soil structure and bringing the crop growing conditions maximally close to nature. Concentrated but not overspecialized information about the new soil treatment technology will be useful to decision makers such as governors, ministers, businessmen, politicians as well as to everyone engaged in agricultural industry and business. The book can be used by students and teachers of agricultural universities for initial system acquaintance with promising farming technologies. |

 | by Nikolay Shpakovsky It is often difficult to understand its boundaries. TRIZ is, on the contrary, easy to determine, especially as regards its methodology. TRIZ has a definite purpose – the solving of inventive problems. The entire power of TRIZ is focused in the space between a problem and a solution to the problem, between a situation having some disadvantage and an improved situation... |

 | by Nikolay Shpakovsky, Elena Novitskaya Suppose we have an order for designing a new variant of a known product. For example, a toothbrush. This is a design problem and it implies a great variety of possible solutions. We usually have some requirements and restrictions. They decrease the number of possible solutions, but, and after that we have a lot of equal variants and their combinations. What will the properties of a bristle be? What will the surface of a handle be? What will the shape of a head be? What kind of a unit between the head and handle will be? And so on... How to find and select an optimal solution?.. |
