Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional cosmetic application methods are used, then cosmetics can be applied to the face, but the process is time-consuming and requires full attention
Solution Approach 1:
The face sheet is pre-applied to the user's face before the cosmetic application process. This preliminary positioning allows the user to perform other tasks while the pre-applied cosmetics transfer to the skin, significantly reducing the time and attention required during actual cosmetic application.
Solution Approach 2:
The face sheet acts as an intermediary carrier between the cosmetics and the user's skin. By transferring cosmetics from the face sheet to the skin through compression, it enables hands-free cosmetic application, allowing users to multitask during the process.
2Ease of operation
If traditional cosmetic application methods are used, then cosmetics can be applied to the face, but full attention is required making it difficult to multitask
Solution Approach 1:
The face sheet serves as an intermediary that carries cosmetics and transfers them to the skin through simple compression. This eliminates the need for manual application with hands, freeing the user to perform other tasks while maintaining ease of cosmetic application.
Solution Approach 2:
The face sheet system enables self-service cosmetic application where the pre-applied cosmetics automatically transfer to the skin when compressed. This hands-free mechanism allows users to multitask without requiring continuous manual intervention or full attention during the application process.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a face sheet with pre-applied cosmetics is used, then users can multitask during application, but the face sheet must be precisely positioned on the face
Solution Approach 1:
The face sheet is pre-positioned on the user's face before the cosmetic transfer process begins. This preliminary action ensures accurate positioning is achieved before multitasking starts, and the pre-applied cosmetics are ready to transfer upon compression without requiring manual adjustment during use.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables efficient and precise application of customized cosmetics to specific facial areas, allowing users to multitask during the process.
Implementation Method 1
A biocompatible adhesive is on the inner surface. The biocompatible adhesive is configured to removably attach the face sheet to facial skin and to remain attached to the face sheet responsive to detachment of the face sheet from facial skin.
Implementation Method 2
Each cosmetic is transferable to facial skin responsive to compressing the face sheet against a human face.
