Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If EMI emitting devices are placed in high-density environment, then device functionality is achieved, but electromagnetic interference is generated that disrupts the environment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the EMI-emitting device from the general environment by placing it within a dedicated internal volume that provides electromagnetic isolation. This separation allows the device to function while its harmful EMI emissions are contained within the internal volume and prevented from disrupting the external environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The internal volume acts as an intermediary barrier between the EMI emitting device and the external environment. It mediates the interaction by allowing the device to operate while blocking the transmission of electromagnetic interference to surrounding devices, thus enabling high-density placement without interference.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If EMI emitting devices are isolated from ambient environment, then electromagnetic interference is suppressed, but mechanical input to devices becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces direct mechanical interaction with electromagnetic interaction. The command input device transmits commands electromagnetically through the isolation barrier, eliminating the need for physical contact while maintaining device control. This substitution preserves both EMI suppression and operational ease.
3Volume of stationary object
If devices are tightly packed together, then space utilization is improved, but thermal management and electrical concerns increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the internal volume into isolated compartments, each containing EMI emitting devices. This segmentation allows each device to be thermally managed independently within its own enclosed space, preventing heat accumulation and facilitating efficient thermal control even in high-density configurations.
