Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple dimension measuring sections are connected to a single bar graph with switch operations for display selection, then the cost is reduced by using one display unit, but the working efficiency decreases due to complex switch operations
Solution Approach 1:
The dimension measuring device automatically determines which dimension measurement to display without requiring operator intervention. The display control section autonomously selects and displays measurements based on effectiveness criteria, eliminating the need for manual switch operations and improving working efficiency while maintaining cost savings from using a single display unit
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the display parameter dynamically based on the effectiveness of dimension measurements. The display control section adjusts which measurement is displayed by evaluating parameters such as whether the measurement is within a predetermined range and comparing effectiveness across multiple measuring sections, thereby automating the selection process
2Quantity of substance
If multiple dimension measuring sections are connected to a single bar graph, then the cost is reduced, but the device complexity increases due to the need for automatic display control
Solution Approach 1:
The display control section serves multiple functions: it receives dimension measurements from multiple measuring sections, determines effectiveness based on predetermined criteria, selects the most effective measurement, and controls the bar graph display. This multi-functionality consolidates what could be separate complex systems into a single integrated control unit, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining cost savings
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring dimension measurements from multiple sections and automatically adjusting the display based on effectiveness evaluation. The display control section uses feedback from the measurement data to determine which measurement to display, creating a self-regulating system that reduces complexity compared to manual control mechanisms

AI summary
A dimension measuring device that has improved operability when an expensive display device, such as, a bar graph is used. The device includes plural dimension measuring sections and a display section for displaying dimension measurements generated by the plural dimension measuring sections, wherein the number of dimension measurements the display section can display simultaneously is less than the number of dimension measurements generated by the plural dimension measuring sections. The device also includes a display control section, which automatically selects a dimension measurement to display on the display section in accordance with the dimension measurements generated by the plural dimension measuring sections.
