Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a calculated synthesis method is obtained using a synthesis prediction model, then the synthesis process can be optimized, but there is insufficient research on how to effectively control the synthesis device based on the calculated method

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesynthesis efficiencyVSAvoiddevice control capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that translates the calculated synthesis method into device-specific commands. This intermediary layer includes a command determination module that converts the synthesis method into executable commands, and a scheduling module that manages the execution order, thereby bridging the gap between the prediction model and the synthesis device control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual device control with an automated control system. The processor automatically determines commands based on the calculated synthesis method and schedules their execution, substituting the mechanical/manual operation of controlling synthesis devices with an intelligent automated system

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

2Productivity

If commands are determined and scheduled based on a calculated synthesis method, then the synthesis process is optimized, but the complexity of the control system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesynthesis optimizationVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the control system into distinct functional modules: a command determination module that generates commands from the synthesis method, and a scheduling module that manages execution order. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently, making the overall complex system more manageable and maintainable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Manufacturing precision

If the synthesis device is controlled based on scheduled commands, then the yield and synthesis time are improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring process parameters increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesynthesis yield and time controlVSAvoidprocess parameter monitoring
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system monitors the actual synthesis process and compares it with the scheduled commands. This feedback loop enables the system to detect deviations from the planned synthesis path and make necessary adjustments, thereby maintaining precise control over yield and synthesis time while managing the complexity of parameter monitoring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
