Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional controllers are used for electronic circuits, then the control is simple and device complexity is low, but the control precision deteriorates when operating in diverse environmental conditions or with different power supplies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol precisionVSAvoidcontroller complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

An artificial intelligence component is introduced as an intermediary between the controller and the controllable components. This AI component processes control signals and adapts them based on environmental conditions and circuit parameters, thereby maintaining high control precision without requiring the traditional controller to become more complex. The AI component acts as a mediator that handles the complexity of adaptation while the traditional controller remains relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The artificial intelligence component is configured to autonomously adapt control parameters based on environmental conditions and power supply variations. It performs self-learning and self-adjustment without requiring external intervention or complex reconfiguration of the traditional controller. The AI component serves itself by continuously monitoring and adjusting control signals to maintain optimal performance across diverse operating conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If the circuit is designed for a specific use case, then the control is optimized for that scenario, but the adaptability to different use cases and environmental conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The control system transitions from a static, fixed configuration to a dynamic, adaptive configuration. The artificial intelligence component continuously adjusts control parameters in real-time based on environmental conditions and operational state, enabling the circuit to maintain optimal performance across diverse use cases and environmental conditions while preserving control precision.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The artificial intelligence component implements advanced feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor circuit behavior, load transitions, and parasitic effects. It processes this feedback information and adjusts control signals in real-time to compensate for parasitic inductances and capacitances, thereby improving control stability and reliability without requiring the traditional controller to become more complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
