Solution Overview

Problem

Existing compositions fail to effectively mimic the fragrance and emotional response of non-combusted plant products, and there is a need for novel combinations of terpenes that can replicate the scent and perceived benefits of processed or dried plant matter.

Innovation Solution

Formulations comprising specific combinations of terpenes, such as beta-caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, and other selected terpenes, which are designed to replicate the fragrance and emotional response of non-combusted plant products, with optional modifiers like thiols, esters, or cannabinoids.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing compositions are used, then the fragrance and emotional response of non-combusted plant products cannot be effectively mimicked, but developing novel terpene combinations increases formulation complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefragrance mimicry accuracyVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining multiple terpenes (beta-caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, and other selected terpenes) in specific ratios to create a composite fragrance composition that mimics the scent profile of non-combusted plant products. This composite approach allows the formulation to achieve reliable fragrance mimicry by leveraging the synergistic effects of different terpene components rather than relying on a single compound.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by systematically varying the concentration ratios of different terpenes in the formulation to optimize the fragrance profile. By adjusting the parameters (compositional ratios) of individual terpenes, the formulation achieves accurate mimicry of plant product scents while managing the complexity through structured variation rather than random combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If novel terpene combinations are developed to replicate plant product scents, then fragrance accuracy improves, but the number of components and formulation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescent replication accuracyVSAvoidnumber of components
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex fragrance replication task into manageable components - specifically selecting and combining individual terpenes (beta-caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, and other selected terpenes) in defined ratios. This segmentation allows for precise control over the scent profile by optimizing each component's contribution while maintaining overall formulation manageability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If defined terpene mixtures are used to mimic plant fragrances, then the emotional response and scent accuracy improve, but formulation development time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemotional response consistencyVSAvoidformulation development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining optimal ratios of terpene combinations based on their known fragrance characteristics and synergistic effects. This preliminary structuring of the formulation reduces development time by eliminating the need for extensive trial-and-error optimization, as the core composition is predetermined to achieve reliable emotional response and scent accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
