Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If network connectivity is used to collect data center asset telemetry data, then data collection capability is improved, but data completeness deteriorates due to network connectivity lapses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection capabilityVSAvoiddata completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing telemetry data during network connectivity periods, then uses historical data to generate predictions that fill in missing data points during connectivity lapses. This ensures continuous data availability without requiring constant network connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A prediction model acts as an intermediary between the telemetry collection system and the data processing system. The model receives historical telemetry data and network connectivity information, then generates predicted telemetry values that bridge gaps caused by network interruptions, ensuring data completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If historical data is used to train prediction models, then data completeness is improved through interpolation, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the approach from collecting raw telemetry data continuously to collecting data at strategic time points and using predictions to fill gaps. This parameter change in data collection frequency combined with prediction-based interpolation reduces computational complexity while maintaining data completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of continuously monitoring all asset parameters in real-time, the system creates a simplified representation by training prediction models on historical data patterns. These models copy the essential behavior patterns and generate predictions that replicate actual telemetry values without requiring continuous complex processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Speed

If real-time data collection is performed, then data freshness is improved, but data accuracy deteriorates due to network connectivity issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata freshnessVSAvoiddata accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback from historical data to improve future data collection and prediction accuracy. By analyzing past telemetry data and network connectivity patterns, the system refines prediction models that can accurately interpolate missing values, ensuring both freshness and accuracy of the complete data set.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data collection during network connectivity periods and uses this historical data to train prediction models. These models then generate accurate predictions for periods with connectivity lapses, maintaining data accuracy without requiring continuous real-time collection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
