Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If caffeine is administered through the respiratory tract, then alertness and vitality are enhanced, but side effects such as headache, dizziness, sleep disorder, and muscle cramps occur due to excessive intake

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealertness enhancementVSAvoidside effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the concentration parameter of caffeine in the inhalable composition to a low content level, thereby reducing the harmful side effects while maintaining the alertness enhancement effect through optimized dosing parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an enhancing agent as an intermediary substance that works together with caffeine to amplify the alertness effect, allowing for reduced caffeine content while maintaining therapeutic efficacy and minimizing side effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If caffeine content in the inhalable composition is reduced, then side effects are lowered, but the alertness enhancement effect may be weakened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveside effectsVSAvoidalertness enhancement effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The enhancing agent serves as a mediator that potentiates the effect of caffeine, enabling the use of lower caffeine concentrations while maintaining sufficient alertness enhancement through synergistic interaction between the enhancing agent and caffeine

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite inhalable composition combining caffeine with enhancing agents, where the combination produces a synergistic effect that allows reduced caffeine content while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
