Toward a taxonomy of concept designs for improved robustness
Rajesh Jugulum,Daniel D. Frey +1 more
TL;DR: A large number of inventions documented by US patents that claimed robustness as a key advantage over the prior art were grouped on the basis of the general strategies they employed and it was found that the strategies can be usefully organized via the P-diagram.
