Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If deep learning algorithms are used for failure prediction, then prediction accuracy is improved, but data processing requirements and system costs increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefailure prediction accuracyVSAvoiddata processing capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential features needed for failure prediction from operational data, rather than processing complete raw datasets. By identifying and extracting key predictive features, the system achieves accurate failure prediction without requiring the substantial processing capacity needed for deep learning algorithms that process entire datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of reducing prediction accuracy to lower processing requirements, the patent inverts the approach by maintaining high prediction accuracy while reducing processing requirements through selective feature processing. This inverts the traditional trade-off by showing that accuracy can be preserved even with limited processing capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Measurement precision

If more operational data is collected for training AI models, then failure prediction accuracy is improved, but storage requirements and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefailure prediction accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential features needed for failure prediction from operational data, rather than processing complete raw datasets. By identifying and extracting key predictive features, the system achieves accurate failure prediction without requiring substantial processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by processing only the necessary portion of operational data required for failure prediction. Instead of analyzing all available operational data, the system selectively processes relevant features, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining prediction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If comprehensive facility monitoring is implemented, then failure detection capability is improved, but system complexity and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential features needed for failure prediction from operational data, rather than processing complete raw datasets. By identifying and extracting key predictive features, the system achieves accurate failure prediction without requiring substantial processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-diagnosis and self-monitoring by automatically analyzing its own operational parameters. The facility monitoring system uses its own collected data to predict failures, eliminating the need for external complex analysis systems and reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
