Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If conventional communication media are used for large area applications, then communication coverage is improved, but the media become difficult to carry and store in rolled form
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs flexible thin film structures for the communication medium, allowing it to be rolled and stored compactly while maintaining large area coverage when deployed. The thin film construction enables the medium to be carried conveniently and applied to extensive surfaces such as walls or floors without compromising flexibility or communication performance.
2Ease of operation
If conventional communication media are forcedly wound in roll form, then portability is improved, but the media become wrinkled and communication performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible thin film construction allows the communication medium to be rolled and unrolled without creating permanent wrinkles or damage. The material's inherent flexibility enables smooth rolling for portability while maintaining surface integrity and communication performance when deployed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates protective layers or cushioning structures that prevent wrinkling and damage during rolling and storage. These pre-applied protective measures ensure that the communication medium maintains its flatness and performance characteristics even after repeated rolling and unrolling operations.
3Ease of operation
If communication media are made with various materials to achieve flexibility, then ease of rolling is improved, but durability and communication performance are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs composite material structures that combine flexible substrates with durable conductive layers and protective coatings. This composite construction achieves both ease of rolling and long-term durability, as well as maintains communication performance by integrating materials with complementary properties rather than relying on a single material type.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible thin film construction uses specifically selected materials that inherently possess both flexibility for easy rolling and durability for long-term use. The thin film structure allows the medium to be rolled without damage while maintaining structural integrity and communication performance over time.
4Ease of operation
If communication media are made with various materials to achieve flexibility, then ease of rolling is improved, but communication performance is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The composite material structure integrates flexible substrates with high-performance conductive layers and dielectric materials optimized for electromagnetic wave transmission. This combination achieves both ease of rolling and superior communication performance by selecting materials that excel in their respective functions rather than compromising with a single material.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible thin film construction uses materials specifically selected for their electromagnetic properties, ensuring that flexibility does not come at the cost of communication performance. The thin film structure maintains optimal electrical characteristics while enabling easy rolling and handling.
