Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wireless transducing circuits are distributed to all platforms, then data collection coverage is maximized, but system cost and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata collection coverageVSAvoidsystem cost

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments platforms into different types (first-type platforms with wireless transducing circuits and second-type platforms without), allowing selective deployment based on specific needs rather than universal deployment, thus reducing overall system complexity and cost while maintaining necessary coverage

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of deploying wireless transducing circuits to all platforms, the system applies them partially to only those platforms where they are most needed, achieving sufficient data collection coverage without the excessive cost and complexity of universal deployment

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Measurement precision

If sampling rate is increased, then data collection accuracy improves, but resource consumption and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata collection accuracyVSAvoidresource consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different sampling rates to different platforms based on their specific requirements and characteristics, rather than using a uniform high sampling rate across all platforms, thus achieving necessary data accuracy while reducing overall resource consumption

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the sampling rate parameter based on platform type, data requirements, and resource availability, optimizing the balance between data collection accuracy and resource consumption for each specific context

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If more tape agents are attached, then system monitoring capability improves, but cost and device complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem monitoring capabilityVSAvoidnumber of attached components

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments monitoring functions by deploying wireless transducing circuits only on first-type platforms that require them, while second-type platforms rely on other monitoring mechanisms, reducing the total number of attached components while maintaining necessary monitoring capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The wireless transducing circuits are designed to perform multiple functions (sensing, communication, data collection) on platforms that need them, reducing the need for separate dedicated components on each platform and thereby reducing overall device complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
