20 Continuity of useful action
Carry on work continuously; make all prts of an object work at full load, all the time.
• Flywheel (or hydraulic system) stores energy when a vehicle stops, so the motor can keep running at optimum power.
• Run the bottleneck operations in a factory continuously, to reach the optimum pace. (From theory of constraints, or takt time operations)
Eliminate all idle or intermittent actions or work.
• Print during the return of a printer carriage--dot matrix printer, daisy wheel printers, inkjet printers.

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.
