Method of detection of technical functions performed by physical effects

[摘要] For the synthesis of the physical operation principle of a technical system, the authors used the physical effects realizing the technical functions that compose the selected functional structure of the designed technical system. Authors developed the method for extraction of the descriptions of physical effects from the patents of USPTO and RosPatent databases, and the method for extracting of technical functions from Natural Language documents including patent texts. The method of automated construction of a matrix of physical functions, performed by physical effects, is based on the detection of latent dependencies in the consolidated matrix "Physical Effects - Technical Functions". Developed software has been tested for tasks of extraction of the physical effects and technical functions from patent documents.
