Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a safety range is defined and signals are monitored for compliance, then safety monitoring is implemented, but the accuracy and precision of safety measures are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety monitoringVSAvoidaccuracy of safety measures
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the safety monitoring process into multiple independent modules: a database module storing safety standards, a data acquisition module collecting signal data, an analysis module processing and comparing signals against standards, and a safety module executing safety measures. This segmentation allows each module to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall accuracy and precision of safety monitoring while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an analysis module as an intermediary between the data acquisition module and the safety module. This intermediary analyzes raw signal data against stored safety standards and determines appropriate safety measures, thereby improving the accuracy and precision of safety monitoring by adding a layer of intelligent processing and decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If existing safety measures are implemented, then safety monitoring is provided, but harm may still occur to subjects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety monitoringVSAvoidharm to subjects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by establishing a comprehensive database of safety standards and constraints before actual signal processing occurs. The analysis module continuously compares acquired signals against these pre-established standards, enabling preventive safety measures to be taken before harmful effects can occur, thereby reducing harm to subjects while maintaining reliable safety monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the analysis module continuously monitors signal compliance against safety standards and provides feedback to the safety module. When deviations are detected, the system automatically adjusts safety measures or alerts operators, creating a closed-loop system that prevents harm to subjects while maintaining reliable safety monitoring through continuous adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
