Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems for managing complex compound discovery pipelines suffer from inefficiencies, inflexibility, and inaccuracies due to information silos across computing devices, leading to redundant queries, operational rigidity, and inaccurate coordination of tasks.

Innovation Solution

An orchestration pipeline interface system that implements a request interface for managing compound discovery pipelines, utilizing a compound discovery event publication repository with a flexible event schema to allow client-defined event reporting, monitoring, and notification across multiple devices, enabling dynamic dashboards and flexible event relationships.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional systems use separate computing devices for different pipeline tasks, then device specialization is achieved, but information silos form causing coordination inefficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepipeline coordination efficiencyVSAvoidinformation availability across devices
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges previously siloed information from separate computing devices into a unified event publication repository. Events published by one device become immediately visible to all other devices in the pipeline, eliminating information loss while preserving device specialization. This allows high-throughputput coordination without requiring physical consolidation of devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The event publication repository acts as an intermediary layer between computing devices in the pipeline. Instead of devices directly communicating with each other (which would require complex point-to-point connections), they publish events to the repository and consume events relevant to their function. This intermediary enables efficient information sharing while maintaining device independence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system uses a fixed event schema, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but operational flexibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent schema flexibilityVSAvoidschema management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The event schema evolves dynamically based on the actual events published to the repository. Rather than requiring pre-definition of all possible events, the schema adapts automatically as new event types are introduced by devices in the pipeline. This provides operational flexibility while keeping implementation simple - devices only need to publish events according to their needs without coordinating schema changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The event schema is segmented into independent event type definitions that can be added, modified, or removed without affecting other parts of the system. Each event type is self-contained with its specific fields and relationships, allowing individual devices to introduce new event types without requiring system-wide schema redesign. This modular approach enables flexibility while maintaining manageability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If devices query the system frequently for status updates, then real-time information is obtained, but redundant queries increase system load

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestatus information accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

Devices receive automatic feedback in the form of published events when relevant status changes occur in the pipeline. Instead of proactively querying for updates, devices passively receive event notifications when data changes, ensuring they always have accurate information without requiring frequent active queries. This feedback mechanism eliminates redundant queries while maintaining real-time awareness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The event publication system provides self-service information distribution - when a device publishes an event, all interested devices automatically receive it without needing to request it. This eliminates the need for polling or repeated queries, reducing computational resource consumption while ensuring devices receive accurate status information as soon as it becomes available.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Productivity

If the system requires manual coordination of pipeline tasks, then control accuracy is maintained, but operational efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepipeline throughputVSAvoidcoordination effort
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Pipeline tasks automatically coordinate themselves through the event publication mechanism. When one device completes a task or generates data, it publishes an event that automatically triggers or informs downstream devices. This eliminates the need for manual coordination while maintaining accurate task dependencies and sequencing. The system self-organizes based on event flow, dramatically improving throughput without sacrificing control accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Devices prepare and publish events in advance as tasks complete, enabling downstream devices to proactively prepare for subsequent operations. This preliminary action approach allows the pipeline to maintain high throughput by pre-synchronizing task dependencies rather than waiting for manual coordination or reactive triggering. Events are published as soon as prerequisites are met, enabling automatic cascading execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
