Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple machine learning models are used to detect air flow anomalies, then the detection accuracy is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple machine learning models (clustering algorithm, time series forecasting algorithm, decision tree algorithm) into an ensemble model that integrates their predictions through weighted voting. This merging approach leverages the strengths of different algorithms to improve anomaly detection accuracy while managing system complexity through a unified framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the anomaly detection task into multiple specialized machine learning models, each handling specific aspects of air flow analysis. The clustering algorithm handles pattern recognition, the time series forecasting algorithm handles temporal patterns, and the decision tree algorithm handles rule-based detection. This segmentation allows each model to specialize while the ensemble integrates their results.
2Reliability
If sensors are deployed in both intake area and environment, then the detection coverage is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds spatial dimension to the detection system by deploying sensors in two distinct locations: the intake area of the air conditioning equipment and the environment (cleanroom). This multi-dimensional sensor deployment captures air flow characteristics at different stages, improving detection coverage and reliability by monitoring both the source and the affected environment.
