Figure 6.Spheroidality Strengthens Can's Load Bearing Capacity. Perpendicular angle has been replaced with a curve. Inventive Principle #35 is Transformation of the physical and chemical states of an object Change an object's aggregate state,density distribution,degree of flexibility, temperature Example: In a system for brittle friable materials,the surface of the spiral feedscrew was made from an elastic material with two spiral springs. To control the process,the pitch of the screw could be changed remotely. Change the composition to a stronger metal alloy used for the can wall to increase the load bearing capacity. In less than one week,the inventor Jim Kowalik of Renaissance Leadership Institute was able to propose over twenty usable solutions to the U.S. canned beverage industry,several which have been adopted. Table 3.The 40 Inventive Principles. 1.Segmentation a.Divide an object into independent parts b.Make an object sectional

Inventive Principle #35 is Transformation of the physical and chemical states of an object Change an object's aggregate state, density distribution, degree of flexibility, temperature Example: • In a system for brittle friable materials, the surface of the spiral feedscrew was made from an elastic material with two spiral springs. To control the process, the pitch of the screw could be changed remotely. Change the composition to a stronger metal alloy used for the can wall to increase the load bearing capacity.

Table 3. The 40 Inventive Principles. 1. Segmentation a. Divide an object into independent parts b. Make an object sectional
c.Increase the degree of an object's segmentation Examples: Sectional furniture,modular computer components,folding wooden ruler Garden hoses can be joined together to form any length needed 2.Extraction a.Extract (remove or separate)a "disturbing"part or property from an object,or b.Extract only the necessary part or property Example. To frighten birds away from the airport,use a tape recorder to reproduce the sound known to excite birds.(The sound is thus separated from the birds.) 3.Local Quality a.Transition from a homogeneous structure of an object or outside environment/action to a heterogeneous structure b.Have different parts of the object carry out different functions c.Place each part of the object under conditions most favorable for its operation Examples: To combat dust in coal mines,a fine mist of water in a conical form is applied to working parts of the drilling and loading machinery. The smaller the droplets,the greater the effect in combating dust, but fine mist hinders the work.The solution is to develop a layer of coarse mist around the cone of fine mist. A pencil and eraser in one unit. 4.Asymmetry a.Replace a symmetrical form with an asymmetrical form. b.If an object is already asymmetrical,increase the degree of asymmetry
