Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing fragrances are used to meet market demands, then specific scent profiles can be achieved, but unpleasant scent aspects and poor performance develop

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescent profile customizationVSAvoidscent performance stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces 2,4-dimethylocta-2,7-dien-4-ol as an intermediary substance that mediates between fragrance components. This compound acts as a modifier that improves the interaction between existing fragrance molecules, enhancing their performance and stability while maintaining desired scent profiles. The intermediary substance resolves the contradiction by improving reliability without sacrificing adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the chemical parameters of the fragrance composition by incorporating a specific terpene alcohol compound with defined molecular structure and stereochemistry. This parameter change (adding a specific chemical component with particular olfactory properties) transforms the overall performance characteristics of the fragrance mixture, improving stability and eliminating unpleasant aspects while preserving scent profile customization capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Power

If high dosages of fragrance are used to achieve desired scent result, then strong olfactory effect is obtained, but cost and application volume increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveolfactory effect intensityVSAvoidfragrance dosage
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a highly efficient fragrance molecule that replicates and enhances the olfactory effects of traditional fragrance combinations. The 2,4-dimethylocta-2,7-dien-4-ol compound serves as a concentrated active principle that produces strong scent results at lower dosages, effectively copying the powerful olfactory impact of higher concentration formulations without requiring increased substance quantity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite fragrance system where 2,4-dimethylocta-2,7-dien-4-ol combines synergistically with other fragrance components. This composite approach allows the mixture to achieve enhanced olfactory power at reduced total dosage levels, as the specific compound amplifies the effects of accompanying fragrance molecules, thereby reducing the overall quantity of substance needed while maintaining or improving power output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Ease of manufacture

If conventional fragrances are used, then basic scent provision is achieved, but poor solubility and storage stability occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebasic fragrance functionVSAvoidstorage stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs 2,4-dimethylocta-2,7-dien-4-ol as a stabilizing intermediary that improves the compatibility and stability of fragrance components in the formulation. This compound acts as a bridge between different fragrance molecules and the carrier medium, enhancing solubility and preventing degradation during storage. The intermediary substance maintains basic fragrance functionality while resolving stability issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the chemical parameters of the fragrance formulation by incorporating a terpene alcohol with specific molecular properties that enhance solubility and stability. This parameter change (adding a compound with particular chemical structure and properties) improves the physical and chemical stability of the fragrance composition without compromising basic scent provision, as the added compound integrates seamlessly into the existing formulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Power

If existing fragrance compositions are used, then scent projection is achieved, but poor biological degradability and safety issues arise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescent projectionVSAvoidbiological safety
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by selecting and using 2,4-dimethylocta-2,7-dien-4-ol, a naturally occurring terpene alcohol with favorable biodegradation properties. This parameter change transitions the fragrance chemistry toward more environmentally benign molecules that maintain effective scent projection while improving biological degradability and reducing harmful effects. The specific compound chosen embodies the balance between performance and safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
