Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If complex alarm systems with multiple sensors are used, then detection capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the transmitter and receiver functions into a single electrostatic sensor antenna. This single antenna both generates the electrostatic field and detects disturbances in that field, eliminating the need for separate transmitter and receiver components while maintaining effective detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The single electrostatic sensor antenna serves multiple functions: it acts as a transmitter generating the electrostatic field, a receiver detecting field disturbances, and an integrated sensor combining both functions. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity while preserving detection capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Area of stationary object

If multiple antennas are used for comprehensive detection, then coverage area is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
