Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods fail to effectively stimulate microcirculation in vertebrates, particularly in individuals with limited mobility due to conditions like diabetes mellitus, leading to impaired organ function and increased susceptibility to infections and wounds.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional methods are used to stimulate microcirculation, then physical activity is required, but this is not feasible for patients with limited mobility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of use for microcirculation stimulationVSAvoidapplicability to patients with limited mobility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical exercise therapy with a physical field-based solution. The polymer material absorbs electromagnetic radiation from the human body and converts it to infrared radiation, eliminating the need for mechanical physical activity while still achieving microcirculation stimulation in patients with limited mobility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The polymer material acts as an intermediary between the human body's electromagnetic radiation and the microcirculation system. It absorbs the emitted radiation and converts it to infrared radiation that penetrates tissue to stimulate blood flow, serving as a mediator that translates body radiation into therapeutic effect without requiring patient movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Length of stationary object

If infrared radiation is used to penetrate tissue, then deeper tissue penetration is achieved, but the radiation must be modulated to create effective carrier waves

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepenetration depth into tissueVSAvoidcomplexity of radiation modulation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The polymer material performs self-service by automatically absorbing electromagnetic radiation from the human body and converting it to modulated infrared radiation. The material itself creates the carrier waves through its inherent properties when exposed to body radiation, eliminating the need for external modulation devices or complex control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The polymer material changes the parameters of the radiation through its absorption and emission characteristics. It absorbs electromagnetic radiation at certain wavelengths and emits infrared radiation at different wavelengths with specific modulation frequencies, effectively transforming the radiation parameters to achieve deep tissue penetration and physiological stimulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Power

If doping elements are incorporated into polymer material, then infrared radiation emission is enhanced, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinfrared radiation emission intensityVSAvoidease of manufacturing polymer material
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the doping elements with the polymer material through a co-precipitation process where both components are simultaneously formed from their respective solutions. This combining approach allows the doping elements to be uniformly distributed in the polymer matrix while maintaining a relatively simple one-step manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The doping elements are incorporated into specific regions of the polymer material to create local quality enhancement. The elements are distributed throughout the polymer matrix to provide localized infrared emission centers, enhancing the overall radiation emission intensity while maintaining the polymer's structural integrity and processability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
