Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If antenna selection is based on communication strength measurement, then wireless communication reliability is improved, but imaging efficiency deteriorates due to unnecessary selection control
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by presetting the antenna to be used based on installation conditions before actual imaging operations. The data processing apparatus stores antenna initial value information corresponding to different installation conditions (e.g., wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, portable) and transmits this preset information to the radiation imaging apparatus. This eliminates the need to perform communication strength measurements during each imaging operation, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining communication reliability and improving imaging efficiency.
2Stability of the object's composition
If antenna selection control is performed based on environment-specific measurements, then communication stability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by shifting the antenna selection criterion from dynamic communication strength measurements to static installation condition parameters. Instead of continuously measuring and comparing communication signals, the system selects antennas based on preset information corresponding to installation conditions (wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, portable). This simplifies the system by replacing complex real-time measurement and decision-making mechanisms with a simpler parameter-based selection approach, while maintaining communication stability.
