Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If molecules are represented with multiple properties and features for comprehensive analysis, then the information content is improved, but the visualization complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality reduction techniques (such as t-SNE, UMAP, and PCA) to transform high-dimensional molecular data into lower-dimensional visual representations. This allows comprehensive molecular properties to be projected onto 2D or 3D spaces while preserving essential relationships, thereby reducing visualization complexity without losing critical information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediate representation layers between raw molecular data and visual displays. These intermediate representations serve as mediators that simplify complex molecular features into interpretable visual patterns, enabling users to perceive molecular relationships without being overwhelmed by the full complexity of the underlying data.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple molecular properties are visualized simultaneously, then the analysis capability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic visualization interfaces that allow users to interactively adjust and reconfigure multiple molecular properties. Users can dynamically filter, sort, and highlight different property combinations, making the system adaptable to various analysis needs while maintaining ease of operation through intuitive controls and real-time updates.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the visualization into multiple independent layers or panels, each representing different molecular properties or aspects. This segmentation allows users to focus on and manipulate individual properties separately while viewing their relationships in context, simplifying the user interface and improving operational ease.
3Quantity of substance
If high-dimensional molecular data is processed, then the data richness is improved, but the computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and isolates the most informative features from high-dimensional molecular data through feature selection and extraction techniques. By identifying and focusing on the most discriminative properties, the system reduces computational complexity while preserving the essential information needed for meaningful analysis and visualization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms molecular data by changing parameters such as scaling, normalization, and transformation to optimize the balance between data richness and computational efficiency. These parameter adjustments enable sophisticated analysis of rich datasets without overwhelming computational resources.
