Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional treatments are used for fatigue, sleep disorders, and menopausal symptoms, then existing treatments are applied, but they do not effectively address these symptoms particularly those caused by psychological or physical stress
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the biological parameter by introducing a specific probiotic strain (Lactobacillus plantarum L-137) that produces unique metabolites capable of addressing multiple symptom types including stress-related fatigue and sleep disorders, thereby improving treatment effectiveness across diverse conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The composition is designed to treat multiple conditions simultaneously including fatigue, sleep disorders, eye strain, and menopausal symptoms through a single probiotic-based formulation, enhancing adaptability to address various stress-related symptoms with one versatile treatment
2Adaptability or versatility
If Lactobacillus plantarum L-137 is used to treat multiple symptoms, then comprehensive symptom relief is achieved, but the strain was not previously recognized for these benefits requiring extensive investigation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary screening and characterization of the L-137 strain's metabolites in advance, identifying their unique biochemical properties and therapeutic potentials before clinical application, thereby reducing the time required for subsequent investigation and development
