Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing compounds are used for controlling harmful arthropods, then the control activity is insufficient, but improving the control activity requires developing new compounds with specific heterocyclic structures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol activityVSAvoidcompound structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies molecular parameters by introducing specific heterocyclic ring structures (pyrimidine, pyridine, triazine cores) with defined substituent patterns. These structural parameter changes transform the compound class to achieve superior control activity against harmful arthropods while maintaining reasonable synthetic accessibility through established chemical methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If new heterocyclic compounds are synthesized to improve control activity, then the control activity increases, but the synthesis process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol activityVSAvoidsynthesis ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The synthesis approach segments the compound construction into modular steps: first establishing the core heterocyclic ring system through standardized reactions, then introducing specific substituent groups at defined positions. This segmentation allows each step to be optimized independently and uses readily available starting materials, maintaining ease of manufacture while achieving the desired control activity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
