Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If light therapy is applied to treat medical conditions, then cellular regeneration is promoted, but the ability to effectively adjust cellular pH levels is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a light source with a resonant circuit containing a piezoelectric crystal to create a unified biotransducer device. The light source and electromagnetic field generator are integrated into a single apparatus that delivers both optical and electromagnetic therapies simultaneously, enhancing the ability to adjust cellular pH while promoting regeneration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a resonant circuit with a piezoelectric crystal that generates electromagnetic fields at specific frequencies to modulate cellular pH levels. By adjusting the resonant frequency and electrical parameters of the circuit, the device can precisely control the electromagnetic field characteristics to achieve effective pH adjustment in cells.
2Device complexity
If a simple light source is used for therapy, then device complexity is reduced, but the ability to modulate light patterns for pH adjustment is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The biotransducer device performs multiple therapeutic functions through a single integrated system. The light source provides optical therapy while the resonant circuit with piezoelectric crystal generates electromagnetic fields for pH adjustment, making the device versatile for treating various medical conditions requiring both light and electromagnetic therapy.
Solution Approach 2:
The resonant circuit acts as an intermediary between the electrical power source and the cellular targets. It converts electrical energy into a modulated electromagnetic field that can penetrate tissue and interact with cells to adjust pH levels, while the light source simultaneously provides optical stimulation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The biotransducer effectively adjusts cellular pH levels, enhancing cellular functionality and regeneration, as demonstrated by improved vision restoration in cases of macular degeneration by correcting voltage levels in cells.
Implementation Method 1
Piezoelectricity is a charge that accumulates in certain solid materials (such as crystals and certain ceramics) in response to applied mechanical stress. Conversely, materials exhibiting the direct piezoelectric effect (the internal generation of electrical charge resulting from an applied mechanical force) also exhibit the converse piezoelectric effect (the internal generation of a mechanical strain resulting from an applied electrical field).
Implementation Method 2
One or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) that generate light at one or more desired wavelengths are configured to receive an output of the modified LC-type circuit.
