Thirty years ago, Stella Liebeck purchased hot coffee from a McDonald's restaurant, accidentally spilled it in her lap, and suffered third-degree burns. Liebeck sought to settle with McDonald's for $20,000 to cover her medical expenses. When McDonald's refused, Liebeck's attorney filed suit in the U.S., and the jury awarded her nearly three million dollars, though they eventually settled for $600,000. In response, McDonald’s reduced the coffee temperature from 90°C to around 70°C and added a warning on the lids. While these measures reduce lawsuit risks, they also result in lukewarm coffee and unnoticed warnings. For those who prefer hot coffee without the risk of burns, more inventive solutions were needed. Is it possible to actually use the coffee's high temperature to reduce the risk of burns? This is where we apply SIT's Qualitative Change condition, which requires turning a harmful element into a neutral or beneficial one. Smart lids offer a more elegant solution: a lid that changes colour based on the liquid's temperature. When the lid is introduced to a hot beverage with a high temperature, the lid turns red, clearly indicating the risk. The Qualitative Change condition can be applied in two ways: (1) Reversal means that as the harmful element intensifies, the undesired phenomenon decreases. (2) Elimination means the undesired phenomenon no longer depends on the harmful element. Smart lids use Reversal: the hotter the coffee, the more noticeable the warning, reducing the risk of burns. This condition introduces a surprising and elegant element to the solution. Properly implemented, the harmful factor becomes either irrelevant or helpful in solving the problem. Have you considered exploring the problem space rather than the solution space? This approach leads to inventive and simple solutions by altering the correlation between the harmful element and the undesired phenomenon. #QualitativeChange #InnovativeSolutions #ProductDesign #ProblemSolving #SIT #InventiveThinking https://lnkd.in/e_iuyHGj

💡 Introducing Shanya Gill, a remarkable 12-year-old prodigy reshaping the landscape of fire detection systems. Her groundbreaking fire detection system distinguishes between human body heat and heat sources, like stovetops. This distinction enables rapid identification of unattended fires in a matter of seconds, an innovation far superior to conventional smoke detectors. In a remarkable achievement, Shanya emerged as the champion in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at PFA next week. Polyurethanes are a somewhat obscure material to those who aren’t in the industry. In an effort to make it a bit more relatable, did you know that the mattress you sleep on at night owes its existence in some part to the table salt sitting in your kitchen cupboard? Table salt (sodium chloride) is mined from caverns beneath the earth. Some of it is sent to your local grocery store. But, a vast majority of salt is actually separated into its individual components (sodium and chlorine) through a chemical reaction known as the chlor-alkali process. Chlorine can then be reacted with propylene to create propylene oxide which is a building block in the production of key polymers that make up the world of polyurethanes, and more specifically the polyurethane foam that finds its way into your mattress. In short, your mattress isn’t all that far removed from the same salt with which you season your dinner, and without salt, we’d all still be sleeping on goose feathers. (Side note: propylene oxide can also be produced through other methods without needing chlorine, but nonetheless, still somewhat amazing to think about how a material as fundamental as salt can have impacts on our lives that we never knew or stopped to consider. Chemistry is fun!)
