15 Dynamics
Allow (or design) the characteristics of an object, external environment, or process to change to be optimal or to find an optimal operating condition.
• Adjustable steering wheel (or seat, or back support, or mirror position...)
Divide an object into parts capable of movement relative to each other.
• The *butterfly* computer keyboard, (also demonstrates Principle 7, *Nested doll*.)
If an object (or process) is rigid or inflexible, make it movable or adaptive.
• The flexible boroscope for examining engines
• The flexible sigmoidoscope, for medical examination

The colour indicates the ranking of the proposed principle to solve the contradiction:
1st,
2nd,
3rd,
4th.
This ranking reflects the frequency of occurrence of the principle in the analysed patents for this type of contradiction.
When a principle appears in first position, it means that it is statistically the most used in the patents studied for this type of problem.
