Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If known data patterns are provided to the data processing circuitry and error rate is monitored while modifiable variables are changed, then optimal parameters can be identified, but storage area is consumed and manufacturing time is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter optimizationVSAvoidmanufacturing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the parameter optimization process from the manufacturing phase and moves it to the operational phase. Instead of tuning parameters during manufacturing using known data patterns, the system uses actual received data patterns during normal operation to automatically adjust parameters, eliminating the need for time-consuming manufacturing characterization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The data processing system performs self-tuning by automatically monitoring its own performance using actual received data and adjusting parameters without external intervention. The system monitors error rates and adjusts modifiable variables based on real operational data, enabling autonomous optimization during normal operation rather than requiring manual manufacturing tuning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
