Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If engineers use gradual manual analysis to find reasons for low hard disk efficiency, then the analysis process is simple to implement, but the ability to accurately identify the main reason is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracy of main reasonVSAvoidcomplexity of analysis system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the analysis process into distinct stages: data collection from multiple sensors, data preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex analysis tasks through modular components, improving identification accuracy while managing system complexity through structured organization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary classification model that acts as a mediator between raw sensor data and diagnostic conclusions. This model processes and interprets multi-source data, enabling accurate identification of main reasons without requiring engineers to directly analyze complex raw data, thus improving accuracy while keeping the user interface simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If multiple vibration parameters are measured to improve analysis accuracy, then the identification accuracy of problem factors is improved, but the complexity of data processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracy of problem factorsVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the most relevant features from the multi-dimensional vibration data using feature extraction techniques. By taking out and focusing on key discriminative features rather than processing all raw data, the system maintains high identification accuracy while significantly reducing data processing time and computational resources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms raw vibration parameters into meaningful feature representations through parameter changes. This transformation converts complex multi-parameter data into a reduced set of informative features that capture essential characteristics, enabling accurate classification without the computational burden of processing all original parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
