Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If high current or voltage is applied to the electrode to obtain large amount of energy, then energy output is improved, but power consumption increases and safety risks arise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy outputVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The electrode is segmented into multiple sections with different geometries (central hole, micro-slits, protrusions) that create localized high-energy regions. This segmentation allows energy concentration at specific points without requiring high overall power input, as each segment focuses electromagnetic energy independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The electrode structure incorporates regions with different local qualities - the central hole creates a focal point for energy concentration, while micro-slits and protrusions create localized high-field regions. This allows high energy density at specific locations while maintaining lower overall power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Power

If high current or voltage is applied to the electrode to obtain large amount of energy, then energy output is improved, but harmful influence on human body increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy outputVSAvoidsafety risk
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the electrode into specific geometric features (central hole, micro-slits), the energy is distributed in a controlled pattern rather than uniformly. This allows high energy output at treatment points while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, reducing harmful effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The central hole and micro-slit structures act as intermediaries that shape and direct the electromagnetic energy. These features control the energy distribution pattern, allowing precise targeting of treatment areas while protecting surrounding healthy tissue from excessive energy exposure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Area of stationary object

If field energy is allowed to spread over wide range, then energy distribution is improved, but ability to target specific small area deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy coverage areaVSAvoidtargeting precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The electrode is segmented into a central hole region and multiple micro-slit regions, each creating focused energy fields. This segmentation enables simultaneous coverage of different areas with precise targeting capability, as each segment independently focuses energy to its respective region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the electrode have different local qualities designed for specific functions - the central hole provides focused deep targeting, while micro-slits provide distributed surface coverage. This allows the system to achieve both wide area coverage and precise targeting of small specific areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
