Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional therapeutic devices using magnetic fields are used, then blood flow improvement may be achieved, but the effects are not supported by systematic experiments or data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces subjective assessment and conventional measurement methods with objective optical measurement systems (photoplethysmography or laser Doppler flowmetry) to quantify blood flow changes, thereby providing systematic experimental data support for magnetic field therapy effects
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where blood flow measurements are continuously monitored and used to adjust magnetic field application parameters, enabling evidence-based optimization of treatment effectiveness and providing systematic data validation
2Reliability
If pharmaceutical compositions are used to improve blood circulation, then blood flow improvement is achieved, but side effects occur that can cause more serious harm
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces pharmaceutical chemical intervention with a physical magnetic field stimulation approach, eliminating drug-related side effects while achieving blood circulation improvement through non-invasive magnetic field application
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the previously harmful side effects of pharmaceutical interventions into a beneficial side-effect-free treatment modality by using magnetic field therapy, which provides blood circulation improvement without the harmful effects associated with drug-based approaches
3Loss of information
If conventional blood flow measurement methods are used, then some blood flow information can be obtained, but it is difficult to evaluate the effects properly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces conventional impedance-based or subjective blood flow assessment methods with advanced optical measurement techniques (photoplethysmography or laser Doppler flowmetry), which provide more accurate and reliable blood flow quantification data for proper effect evaluation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuous blood flow monitoring with feedback to treatment parameter adjustment, enabling real-time evaluation of treatment effects and ensuring accurate assessment through systematic data collection and analysis
4Productivity
If magnetic field intensity and application time are not optimized, then treatment may be ineffective, but increasing intensity or duration may cause harm
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback control system where blood flow measurements are continuously monitored and used to adjust magnetic field intensity and application time in real-time, enabling optimization of treatment efficiency while preventing excessive magnetic field exposure that could cause harm
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs dynamic adjustment of magnetic field parameters based on real-time blood flow response, allowing the treatment intensity and duration to be continuously optimized for each individual patient's needs, thereby maximizing effectiveness while minimizing potential harm
