Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing a hardware-based processor and AI modules to generate, filter, and rank viable R&D paths by processing scientific and non-scientific descriptors, including business, commercial, and legal considerations, to optimize resource allocation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If AI-generated scientific descriptors are used for resource allocation, then material design performance is improved, but resource allocation reliability deteriorates due to inclusion of unviable paths

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial design performanceVSAvoidresource allocation reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A filter module is introduced as an intermediary between the AI descriptor generation and resource allocation processes. This filter evaluates each scientific descriptor against multiple criteria (technical feasibility, resource availability, alignment with organizational goals) to determine viability, thereby resolving the contradiction by allowing comprehensive AI-generated options while ensuring only viable paths reach the allocation stage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary evaluation and filtering of AI-generated descriptors before final resource allocation decisions are made. By pre-assessing technical feasibility, resource requirements, and strategic alignment, the system eliminates unviable options in advance, preventing waste of resources on impossible projects while maintaining the benefits of AI-generated innovation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive AI-generated descriptors are processed, then material design quality is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial design qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The filter module employs a staged evaluation approach, assessing descriptors against multiple criteria but allowing configurable depth of analysis. For high-priority or promising descriptors, more comprehensive evaluation is performed, while less promising options receive streamlined assessment, balancing quality with processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts evaluation parameters such as filtering stringency, analysis depth, and priority weighting based on available resources, time constraints, and strategic objectives. This allows the same AI-generated descriptor set to be processed at different quality levels depending on current operational context, optimizing the trade-off between design quality and processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If AI-generated descriptors include unviable options, then descriptor quantity is increased, but resource waste increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedescriptor quantityVSAvoidresource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The filter module serves as a gatekeeper that preserves the comprehensive output of AI generation while preventing resource allocation to unviable options. It systematically evaluates each descriptor against feasibility criteria, resource constraints, and strategic alignment, allowing the full range of AI-generated ideas to be considered without committing resources to impossible projects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where outcomes of resource allocation and project execution inform future filtering criteria and evaluation parameters. By learning from past successes and failures, the filter becomes increasingly accurate at identifying viable versus unviable descriptors, reducing resource waste while maintaining comprehensive exploration of AI-generated possibilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system and method resources using data descriptors processed by artificial intelligence to allocate resources of an organization for performing research and development (R&D). The system includes a processor, a memory, and a set of modules including a descriptor generating module, a filter module, a path generating modules, and an allocation generating module. The descriptor generating modules generates scientific descriptors from a specification, and generates a non-scientific descriptor from input data. The filter module filters the scientific descriptors using the non-scientific descriptor to generate filtered scientific descriptors. The path generating module uses the filtered scientific descriptors to generate a viable R&D path. The allocation generating module uses the viable R&D path to allocate the resources to implement the specification. The method implements the system.
