Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If machine operation parameters are collected and stored in proprietary formats by different collection systems, then each system can maintain its own data characteristics and analysis capabilities, but the data becomes unrecognized by other collection systems, leading to incompatibility and inability to utilize data across systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a digital copy of the original machine operation parameters that preserves the essential characteristics while converting to a standardized format. The system captures the original parameter data, creates a replicated version with matching characteristics, and stores it in a universal format that can be recognized by different collection systems, enabling cross-system interoperability without losing the authenticity of the original measurements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the data format parameters from proprietary to standardized while maintaining the physical and operational characteristics of the measured parameters. By changing the representation format rather than the underlying measurement data, the system enables compatibility across different collection systems while preserving the integrity and meaning of the original machine operation parameters
2Measurement precision
If machine operation parameters are measured and stored with high precision and original characteristics, then accurate analysis can be performed within a single system, but other collection systems cannot recognize or utilize the data
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a faithful digital replica of the precise measurement data that maintains all essential characteristics including accuracy, resolution, and measurement metadata. This copy is then formatted in a standardized structure that preserves the precision information while making it recognizable and usable by different collection systems, thereby maintaining measurement accuracy while enabling cross-system interoperability
3Productivity
If proprietary data formats are used to maintain system-specific characteristics, then each collection system can optimize its own data processing and analysis, but comprehensive monitoring and evaluation across multiple systems becomes impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates standardized copies of parameter data that can be efficiently processed by any collection system while maintaining the integrity of the original measurements. These universal copies enable comprehensive monitoring and evaluation across multiple systems without sacrificing the processing efficiency that each system achieves with its own data formats
Solution Approach 2:
The patent develops a universal data format structure that can serve multiple collection systems simultaneously. The standardized parameter representations are designed to be universally recognizable and processable by different systems, enabling each system to maintain its optimized processing while also participating in comprehensive multi-system monitoring and evaluation
Data Source
AI summary
This invention provides a method and an apparatus for recreating data collected from a machine for distribution to one or more remote terminals for monitoring and evaluating machine operations. Machine operation parameters are sensed by at least one sensor, and the data collected regarding measured values of machine operations are transmitted to a conditioning device. The conditioning device validates the data by comparing and correlating the measured values to predetermined values of acceptable data set and converts output data from analog to digital data. The digitized analog data according to the measured parameters associated with machine operations are then transmitted to a data storage unit, where it is stored and subsequently retrieved for recreating the machine operation parameters to become accessible by one or more remote terminals.
