Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional light therapy devices are used, then therapeutic effects can be achieved, but constructional costs are high and variations are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectVSAvoidconstructional cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses Kirlian photography to create an image copy of the liquid sample's corona discharge pattern, which is then projected onto the patient. This replaces complex conventional light therapy apparatus with a simplified system using standard photographic materials and a projector, significantly reducing constructional costs while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional light therapy systems are used, then illumination can be provided, but adaptability and variations are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic variationVSAvoidimplementation cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the fundamental parameter of light therapy from using fixed-wavelength light sources to using variable corona discharge patterns captured through Kirlian photography. This allows each liquid sample to produce a unique therapeutic image pattern, greatly increasing adaptability and therapeutic variations while keeping implementation costs low using standard photographic materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Illumination intensity

If traditional color therapy systems are used, then chromatic light can be applied, but system complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechromatic light effectVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical/optical system of conventional color therapy (which requires multiple light sources, filters, and complex illumination apparatus) with a photographic process. The chromatic information is captured statically through Kirlian photography and then projected, eliminating the need for complex real-time optical manipulation systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The device achieves therapeutically effective results, including improved well-being, reduced violence tendencies, alleviated ADD symptoms, and immune system stimulation at a low cost, offering an alternative to traditional color therapy systems.

Implementation Method 1

a projection device (1) having a projection light means (10) and an image carrier (12) for slides to be projected, with which a light path (16) is associated which is directed onto an object (18)

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectLight transmission through liquid: Light

Implementation Method 2

When implemented in practice the object to be detected photographically, in this case a sample of the aqueous liquid mixed with ethanol, is brought, in an otherwise known manner, into an electric field together with the film material, which is still unexposed at this point, in such a way that the aqueous liquid, relative to a counter electrode which, for example, is made of metal, forms a corona discharge under high voltage (typical value 20 kV) which then exposes the film material

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectCorona discharge: Corona Discharge

AI summary

A light therapy device for applying an image produced from a therapeutically effective aqueous liquid, is provided. The device includes a slide, prepared by Kirlian and/or corona discharge photography, of a sample of an aqueous liquid removed from a liquid-retaining body and mixed with ethanol, and a projection device with a light device which emits visible light and is designed to project the slide onto an object, in particular a living being, in such a way that a sample of the liquid contained in a container which is permeable to and can be irradiated by the visible light is arranged in a light path between a unit, which holds the slide, of the projection device and the object.
