Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If deep learning-based measurement information analysis is used to achieve high accuracy cell identification, then measurement precision is improved, but processing time increases making high-speed separation difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing and storing measurement information in association with identification substance information before the actual cell separation process. The determination target identifier is extracted in advance from stored data, allowing the system to quickly retrieve pre-analyzed information during real-time operation without performing complex deep learning analysis at the moment of separation, thus resolving the contradiction between high accuracy and fast processing speed
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the necessary determination target identifier information from the comprehensive measurement data stored in the storage unit. Instead of processing all measurement information in real-time, the system extracts specific identifier data that is sufficient for cell determination, reducing processing time while maintaining identification accuracy by using pre-stored analyzed data
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive measurement information is collected for accurate cell analysis, then measurement precision is improved, but the amount of information to be processed increases reducing processing speed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential determination target identifier from comprehensive measurement information that has been pre-stored. By separating the identifier extraction from full measurement data processing, the system retrieves only the necessary information for cell determination, maintaining high accuracy through pre-collected comprehensive data while achieving fast processing by handling only extracted identifiers during separation
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs comprehensive measurement information collection and analysis in advance, storing the results in association with identification substance information. This preliminary processing allows the system to have all necessary data prepared before separation, enabling quick retrieval and comparison during actual cell separation without the bottleneck of processing large amounts of data in real-time
