Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional pesticides are used to control ectoparasites, then pesticidal activity is achieved, but toxicity to users and environmental harm increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetoxicity and environmental harmVSAvoidpesticidal activity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of pyrazole compounds by introducing specific substituents (halogen atoms at positions 2 and 6, trifluoromethyl group at position 4, and various R1-R7 groups) to optimize the balance between pesticidal activity and reduced toxicity. The compounds of formula (I) with specific parameter combinations achieve enhanced efficacy while lowering harmful effects compared to conventional pesticides

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates composite molecular structures combining pyrazole core with carbamate, oxime, and various substituent groups to form new chemical entities that exhibit synergistic properties. The combination of multiple functional groups in single molecules (e.g., compounds with both carbamate and oxime groups) provides improved activity profile with reduced toxicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If higher dosages of pesticides are applied to ensure efficacy, then pesticidal activity is improved, but toxicity and environmental impact worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepesticidal activityVSAvoidtoxicity and environmental harm
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The optimized chemical structure of compounds (I) with specific substituent patterns enables achieving high pesticidal activity at lower dosages. The molecular parameters (substituent types, positions, and configurations) are tuned to maximize bioactivity while minimizing the amount of active substance required, thereby reducing toxicity and environmental burden

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Speed

If short-acting pesticides are used, then rapid action is achieved, but duration of protection is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of actionVSAvoidduration of protection
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The compounds of formula (I) are designed to provide continuous protective action against ectoparasites over extended periods. The molecular structure enables sustained biological activity through mechanisms such as systemic absorption and prolonged release, ensuring continuous protection rather than transient effects, thereby eliminating the need for frequent reapplication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

4Reliability

If pesticides are applied topically, then direct contact with parasites is achieved, but contamination of humans and environment occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontact with parasitesVSAvoidcontamination
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs oral administration as an intermediary approach, where compounds (I) are given to animals through feed or water, allowing systemic distribution throughout the body. This intermediary route enables the active substance to reach parasites through the animal's system rather than direct external application, thereby preventing environmental contamination while maintaining efficacy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
