Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional voltage control on transistor gates is used to control channel conductivity, then channel conductivity can be controlled, but the ability to induce electrical current variations that increase magnetic flux density is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to induce electrical current variationsVSAvoidcomplexity of control mechanisms
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional voltage control mechanisms with electromagnetic induction. Spatiotemporal magnetic flux patterns are used to induce electrical current variations in channels, substituting the mechanical/electrical voltage control system with an electromagnetic field-based system. This allows for more versatile current induction while potentially simplifying the control architecture by using magnetic field patterns instead of complex voltage modulation circuits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the control parameter from voltage (electrical potential) to magnetic flux density (magnetic field strength and temporal variation). By controlling spatiotemporal magnetic flux patterns, the system induces electrical current variations through electromagnetic induction. This parameter change enables new modes of channel control that can increase magnetic flux density, which was not achievable with conventional voltage control alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If voltage control is used to vary channel conductivity, then conductivity can be adjusted, but transient electrical currents and cascading effects cannot be generated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to generate transient currentsVSAvoidenergy efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs periodic or pulsed magnetic flux patterns to induce transient electrical currents in channels. By applying time-varying magnetic fields with specific temporal characteristics, the system generates transient currents that can cascade through multiple channels. This periodic action replaces continuous voltage control, enabling transient current generation while improving energy efficiency by applying energy only during the required transient periods rather than continuously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces magnetic flux patterns as an intermediary between the control system and the channel current. Instead of directly applying voltage to control current, the system uses magnetic fields as a mediator to induce currents through electromagnetic induction. This intermediary approach enables transient current generation and cascading effects while maintaining energy efficiency, as the magnetic field can be rapidly switched on and off to create transient effects without continuous energy input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the concept of oscillation and vibration to magnetic flux patterns. By using time-varying magnetic fields that oscillate or pulse with specific frequencies and amplitudes, the system induces electrical current variations in channels. These oscillating magnetic flux patterns increase magnetic flux density dynamically, and the rhythmic nature of the induction process makes the system easier to control and predict, improving ease of operation while achieving higher magnetic flux density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #18Mechanical vibration

AI summary

Electrical current and/or conductivity in an electrical current channel varies in response to spatiotemporal magnetic flux pattern and/or to variation in electromotive force (EMF). For example, a channel with time-varying electrical conductivity can have induced electrical current variation due to flux pattern resulting from electrical current in another channel or set of channels; the current variation can increase magnetic flux density. The electrical currents can be transient electrical currents, and can cascade to amplify a resulting electromagnetic waveform. A channel can include the channel of a zener or zener-like diode or of a transistor, as well as an extended conductive channel. Channels can be configured in electrical current loops and in various orientations and combinations to obtain current and/or conductivity variation. A transient electrical current can be triggered in a channel, e.g. by an EMF peak, and circuitry with a combination of EMF triggering components can perform logical and timing operation.
