Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If existing Mandevilla plants are used, then they have established growth patterns, but they lack compact growth and large, brightly colored flowers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selectively breeding plants to modify specific characteristics including growth habit compactness, flower size, and flower color intensity. Through controlled cross-pollination and selection of progeny exhibiting desired traits, the cultivar achieves upright compact growth while producing larger, more vibrantly colored flowers compared to existing varieties.
2Duration of action of stationary object
If existing Mandevilla plants are used, then they have established flowering patterns, but they lack continuous flowering habit and good garden performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuity of useful action by developing a cultivar with continuous flowering habit. The selected progeny exhibits repeated blooming cycles throughout the growing season, providing sustained ornamental value. This continuous flowering capability, combined with upright compact growth, ensures reliable and consistent garden performance.
