Inventive Standards
Inventive Standards or Standard Solutions are a set of generalized rules and formulas for solving common problems. They are called Standard solutions as they are used to solve the standard problems (in contrast to inventive problems). The standard solutions are generally used alongwith s-field modeling.

5 classes of standards
There are a total of 76 standards (or standard solutions). All these standards are categoriesed in 5 classes. The classes in the sequence correspond to the trends with increasing ideality.
  1. Class-1: Building and Destruction of S-Fields-, is dedicated to solving the problems for which it is necessary to construct or to transform s-field models. This class includes 2 subclasses and 13 Standards with specific rules for synthesis (first subclass) and destruction (second subclass) of s-fields. The selection of the necessary Standard depends on the starting conditions and restrictions, which are specified by the problem.
  2. Class-II: Development of S-Fields-, is related to solving problems through evolution of s-field models. This class contains the generalized models for improving the efficiency of the initial technical system by introducing a relatively small modification of the system. In this class, there are 23 Standards, distributed into 4 subclasses: transition to composite s-fields, improvement of s-fields, coordination of a rhythm, and complex s-fields.
  3. Class-III: Transition to Supersystem and Microlevel- is used for problem solving with the development of a solution on the level of the supersystem or subsystem. This class includes two subclasses, "Bi-systems and Poly-systems" and "Transition to a Microlevel", with 6 Standards.
  4. Class-IV: Standards for Detection and Measuring- is dedicated to solving "measuring" problems or problems that have the specific purpose of detecting something. In this class there are 5 subclasses with 17 Standards.
  5. Class-V: Standards on Application of Standards- is intended for development of the solution that will meet the demands of the ideal system. For the development of a high level invention, it is necessary to remove a conflict: the substance should be entered and should not be entered into the system. This class contains 5 subclasses with 17 Standards with rules for resolution of such conflicts.
Steps for using standard solutions
It is very difficult to specify the steps for applying standard solutions. However, experience proposes the following stpes;
  1. Define the type of problem in the beginning.
  2. Build an initial s-field model of the problem.
  3. Apply the Standards for development of the s-field model of a generic solution
  4. Refine developed s-field model
  5. Generate the specific solution concepts
What is s-field modeling
An s-field consists of atleast two substances ("S1" and "S2") and a field ("F"). In an s-field model, "S1" is a product that will be pcocessed, "S2" is a tool that processes and "F" is a field (or energy or force) used by the tool "S2" to act on the product "S1". The fields in a s-field can be:
  • Mechanical (pressure, force, gravity)
  • Electrical (electric field, current, electric waves)
  • Magnetic (magnetic fields)
  • Thermal (application of heat or cold)
  • Audible (acoustic sound, waves of all frequencies)
  • Chemical (chemical reactions that change a substance)
  • Biological (biological interactions between elements).
S-fields modeling uses graphical presentation of the problem. This tool helps analysing the system and the interaction between system components. Quite a large number of problems can be solved by using s-field models and applying standard solutions.
