Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If syringes are used for handling and transporting biological fluids during biostimulation treatment, then the treatment can be performed portably, but the handling becomes unsafe and prone to contamination

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveportability of treatmentVSAvoidsafety and contamination risk

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the biological fluid from the syringe and transfers it to a dedicated treatment container. The syringe is used only for extraction, then the container takes over for safe transport and treatment. This separation eliminates the risk of handling full syringes while maintaining portability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The treatment container acts as an intermediary between the syringe and the treatment device. It receives the fluid from the syringe, provides safe containment during transport, and interfaces with the biostimulation device, eliminating direct handling risks.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If syringes of various shapes and sizes are used for biostimulation, then flexibility in sample collection is achieved, but treatment precision varies

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveflexibility in sample collectionVSAvoidtreatment precision

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system is segmented into two functional parts: syringes for flexible sample collection and a standardized container for precise treatment. This allows each component to be optimized independently - syringes for adaptability and containers for precision.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The treatment container serves as a universal interface that can receive samples from syringes of various sizes and shapes. It provides a standardized chamber for biostimulation treatment, ensuring consistent precision regardless of the source syringe.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If syringes are handled in full after extraction, then the sample can be transported, but they may fall or become contaminated

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesample transport capabilityVSAvoidcontamination and physical damage risk

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The hazardous aspect of handling full syringes is extracted and eliminated by transferring the sample to a more robust container designed for safe transport, leaving the syringe empty and safe to handle.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The container is designed with robust construction and proper sealing mechanisms beforehand to prevent contamination and physical damage during transport, eliminating the vulnerability of syringe handling.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
