Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a deep learning model is used to separate mixed data components, then the separation accuracy is improved, but the model performance deteriorates over time due to environmental changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseparation accuracyVSAvoidmodel performance stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adaptation by continuously monitoring data composition changes and updating the deep learning model accordingly. The system transitions from a static model to a dynamic one that can adapt to environmental changes over time, maintaining separation accuracy through ongoing adjustments to model parameters and architecture based on observed data characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms by evaluating the model's performance on incoming data and using this information to trigger model updates or retraining. The system monitors separation accuracy and other performance metrics, feeding this information back into the model management process to maintain optimal performance despite changing environmental conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If the deep learning model processes data from multiple sources, then the comprehensive analysis capability is improved, but it becomes difficult to identify the causes of performance deterioration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-source data processing capabilityVSAvoidperformance deterioration diagnosis
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the mixed data from multiple sources into distinct data components, allowing the system to analyze and track each component separately. This segmentation enables identification of which specific data source or component is causing performance deterioration, making diagnosis feasible even when processing complex multi-source data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate representations or feature vectors that mediate between the raw multi-source data and the final separation output. These intermediates serve as diagnostic checkpoints, allowing the system to identify where and how performance deterioration occurs in the processing pipeline, thereby simplifying cause analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Duration of action of stationary object

If the model operates for a long period of time, then the operational duration is improved, but the data characteristics change due to environmental factors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational durationVSAvoiddata characteristic consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing data to normalize and stabilize its characteristics before feeding it to the deep learning model. This includes techniques such as feature standardization, outlier removal, and temporal smoothing that prevent environmental variations from directly affecting the model, thereby maintaining data characteristic consistency over long operational periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts model parameters and data preprocessing parameters based on observed environmental changes and data characteristic drift. By changing parameters adaptively rather than keeping them fixed, the system maintains stable data characteristics and model performance over extended operational durations despite varying environmental conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
