Early Experiences Employing the Matrix Principles Modified for the Communications and Electronics Domain

Different authors have developed examples of the TRIZ Principles in a number of domains ranging from finance to microelectronics. To the authors ’ knowledge, no one has attempted to develop examples for the 40 Principles in the electronics and communications domain.
