Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If traditional data storage media (hard disks, flash memories, magnetic tapes, optical disks) are used, then the storage system is simple and compatible with existing technology, but the storage density is low and storage time is short
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical and electronic storage systems with a molecular-scale storage system using DNA molecules. Information is encoded into molecular sequences (e.g., DNA nucleotide sequences) where specific sequences represent binary data (0s and 1s). This substitution enables extremely high storage density since molecular dimensions are orders of magnitude smaller than traditional storage media, allowing vast amounts of data to be stored in minimal physical space.
2Quantity of substance
If information is stored in molecules to achieve higher storage density, then storage density improves, but the writing speed decreases and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides information into bit-groups and uses separate molecular modules to represent addresses and contents independently. This segmentation allows parallel processing where multiple molecular operations can occur simultaneously, significantly improving writing speed. The address and content are encoded separately into molecular sequences, enabling efficient retrieval and writing operations without requiring sequential processing of entire data blocks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary encoding of information into molecular sequences before physical storage. Bit-groups are pre-processed and mapped to specific molecular modules with predetermined sequences. This preliminary action prepares the data in a format optimized for molecular storage, reducing the time required during actual writing operations and improving overall writing speed.
3Productivity
If molecular modules are used to represent both address and content of bit-groups, then encoding efficiency improves, but the number of required molecular modules increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the address representation and content representation into a single integrated molecular module. Instead of using separate molecular components for addresses and separate components for content, the invention encodes both the address information and the data content within one molecular sequence. This merging reduces the total number of molecular modules required while maintaining the ability to efficiently encode and retrieve information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent designs molecular modules that serve multiple functions simultaneously. A single molecular module can represent different bit-groups at different positions (addresses) while storing their corresponding content values. This multi-functionality allows the same molecular structure to handle both addressing and data storage roles, reducing the overall quantity of molecular modules needed in the system.
