Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cannabinoids are incorporated into paper element, then controlled delivery mechanism is provided, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontrolled delivery mechanismVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The paper element is pre-treated during manufacturing by incorporating cannabinoids into the paper structure through impregnation or coating processes. This preliminary action ensures controlled delivery is built into the product itself, eliminating the need for complex delivery mechanisms during actual use.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A matrix material is introduced as an intermediary carrier that incorporates and releases cannabinoids controlledly. The matrix acts as a mediator between the paper structure and the cannabinoid compounds, enabling controlled delivery while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If surface layer with matrix is applied, then cannabinoid incorporation is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecannabinoid incorporationVSAvoidsurface layer application precision

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The manufacturing process utilizes controlled parameter changes such as temperature, humidity, or chemical conditions during the application of the surface layer. By optimizing these parameters, consistent cannabinoid incorporation is achieved without requiring extremely precise mechanical control, thus reducing manufacturing precision requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The matrix material is designed to self-adhere to the paper base and self-distribute cannabinoids uniformly during the manufacturing process. This self-service characteristic reduces the need for high-precision external control mechanisms, allowing for simpler manufacturing while maintaining consistent cannabinoid incorporation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service
