Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If thermal imaging detection is used for breast disease screening, then detection capability is improved, but convenience deteriorates due to requiring hospital visits and long wait times
Solution Approach 1:
The bra system enables users to perform breast disease screening themselves at home without requiring hospital visits. The integrated infrared thermal imaging camera and AI analysis system allow the user to capture thermal images and receive diagnostic results independently, eliminating the need for professional examiner intervention and long hospital waiting times.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single wearable bra device: infrared thermal imaging camera for capturing thermal images, AI image reading system for automatic analysis, and adjustable chest support structure for proper positioning. This integration allows the detection system to be worn comfortably while performing screening functions that previously required separate hospital-based equipment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the bra structure is made adjustable for different chest sizes, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple adjusting mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The bra incorporates dynamic adjustment mechanisms that allow the chest support layers to be repositioned and resized according to different user needs. The sliding mechanisms with grooves and sliding blocks enable continuous adjustment of the chest support position, while the rotating mechanism with gears and racks allows adjustment of the distance between chest support layers, providing adaptability without requiring multiple separate bras.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable mechanisms serve multiple functions: the sliding mechanisms not only adjust chest support position but also work with the rotating mechanism to control the distance between chest support layers. The stretching mechanism with telescopic belts and rotating rollers provides both size adjustment and comfortable fitting. These multi-functional mechanisms reduce overall system complexity compared to having separate adjustment systems for each function.
