Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If hydrogen is added to biocompatible solution by contacting molecular hydrogen from outside the container without opening the container, then hydrogen can be added to the solution, but the solution temperature remains significantly lower than body temperature requiring separate heating

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehydrogen concentration in solutionVSAvoidsolution temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the hydrogen addition function and heating function into a single integrated device. The heating portion is positioned within the tank to heat the biocompatible solution simultaneously while hydrogen is being added from the hydrogen water generator, eliminating the need for separate heating operations and ensuring the solution reaches body temperature before administration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Temperature

If separate heating is performed after hydrogen addition, then the solution can be warmed to body temperature, but the process becomes cumbersome and increases operational complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesolution temperatureVSAvoidoperational steps
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the hydrogen addition process and heating process into a single simultaneous operation. The heating portion operates within the tank during the hydrogen addition cycle, allowing both functions to be accomplished through one unified operation rather than sequential steps, thereby reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The heating portion is activated in advance or simultaneously with the hydrogen addition process, ensuring the solution is warmed to body temperature before hydrogen addition completes. This preliminary or concurrent heating action eliminates the need for subsequent separate heating steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Quantity of substance

If the solution temperature is significantly lower than body temperature, then hydrogen can be added effectively, but the burden on the living body increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehydrogen concentrationVSAvoidburden on living body
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By combining heating and hydrogen addition in one process, the patent ensures the solution reaches body temperature before hydrogen is administered, eliminating the harmful effect of cold solution burden while maintaining effective hydrogen concentration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The solution is heated to body temperature in advance or during the hydrogen addition process, so that when the hydrogenated solution is administered, it is already at the correct temperature, preventing the burden of cold solution on the living body.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
