Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If electrical signal transmission is used in multichip modules, then communication between chips is enabled, but thermal stress and signal degradation occur at high speeds
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces electrical signal transmission with optical signal transmission using glass prisms and optical channels. This substitution eliminates the thermal stress and signal degradation issues associated with high-speed electrical transmission in multichip modules, while maintaining communication functionality between chips.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the transmission medium from electrical conductors to optical glass prisms, fundamentally altering the physical parameters of signal transmission. This parameter change enables high-speed communication without the thermal effects that limit electrical transmission reliability.
2Use of energy by stationary object
If clock frequency is throttled to manage power consumption, then thermal issues are reduced, but processing performance decreases
Solution Approach 1:
By replacing electrical interconnects with optical channels, the patent reduces power consumption in data transmission without requiring frequency throttling. This maintains processing performance while improving energy efficiency, as optical transmission consumes less power at high speeds compared to electrical transmission.
3Speed
If conventional electrical interconnects are used in multichip modules, then chip communication is achieved, but signal degradation occurs at high speeds
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes electrical interconnects with optical channels using glass prisms, eliminating signal degradation issues inherent in high-speed electrical transmission. Optical signals maintain integrity over longer distances and at higher speeds without the interference and attenuation problems of electrical signals.
