Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual model generation and parameter adjustment is performed by skilled engineers, then model accuracy and reliability are improved, but device complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic model generation, evaluation, and selection without requiring manual intervention by skilled engineers. The automated model generation unit creates multiple candidate models, the evaluation unit assesses them using operational data, and the selection unit automatically identifies the optimal model, enabling the system to serve itself rather than relying on external expert intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically adjusts and optimizes model parameters through computational evaluation of multiple candidate models. By generating models with varying parameters and systematically evaluating their performance against operational data, the system identifies optimal parameter configurations without manual adjustment, reducing both time consumption and dependency on expert knowledge

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If manual model generation and parameter adjustment is performed by skilled engineers, then model quality is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel qualityVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces the mechanical process of manual model generation and parameter adjustment with an automated computational system. Instead of engineers manually creating and tuning models, the system uses algorithmic model generation units and automated evaluation mechanisms to produce and assess models, substituting human expert processes with systematic computational procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system generates multiple candidate models as copies with varying parameters and structures. By creating these replicated model versions and systematically evaluating them, the system identifies the optimal model without requiring manual intervention, reducing process complexity while maintaining model quality through automated comparison and selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 1:

The system generates multiple candidate models beyond what would be minimally required, creating an excess of model options. By generating more models than strictly necessary and systematically evaluating them, the system ensures that the optimal model is identified through comprehensive comparison, maintaining precision while improving ease of operation through automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates an evaluation unit that assesses each generated model using operational data from the target system. This feedback mechanism allows the system to automatically determine model quality by comparing predictions against actual operational outcomes, ensuring manufacturing precision is maintained while enabling ease of operation through automated evaluation and selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
