Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices are too large to be displayed in science and technology museums or public spaces for educational purposes, limiting their use for science popularization.
Innovation Solution
A sample simulated scanning device that simulates the biological tissue scanning process of an MRI device, using a conveying platform with interaction means and a controller to convey biological samples, enabling interaction between NFC apparatuses to play pre-stored video data on a display, mimicking the MRI scanning process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a real MRI device is used for display and education, then the educational authenticity is improved, but the device size becomes too large for public spaces
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a simplified simulation device that copies the essential functional elements of an MRI device (conveying platform, interaction means, controller, display means) without replicating the full-scale physical structure. This allows the educational device to maintain authenticity in demonstrating MRI operations while being compact enough for public space installation
2Area of stationary object
If a simplified simulation device is created, then the device size is reduced for public spaces, but the operational complexity may increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential functional components needed to simulate MRI operations (conveying platform, interaction means, controller, display means) and eliminates unnecessary complex subsystems. This extraction approach reduces overall device complexity while preserving the core educational functionality of demonstrating scanning operations
Solution Approach 2:
The controller serves multiple functions: it controls the conveying platform movement, manages the interaction means communication, retrieves appropriate video data based on interaction results, and coordinates the display means. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed, thereby simplifying the overall system

AI summary
A sample simulated scanning device and a use method. The sample simulated scanning device includes a base, a conveying platform provided on the base, a first interaction means provided in the conveying platform, a controller, and a display means. The conveying platform is configured to convey a biological sample placed on the surface of the conveying platform; a second interaction means is arranged in the biological sample; biological species information is stored in the second interaction means; biological part information is stored in the first interaction means; when the biological sample is conveyed to a position where the second interaction means and the first interaction means carry out communication interaction, on the basis of the biological species information and the biological part information, the controller invokes pre-stored video data matching the biological species information and the biological part information, and the display means plays the video data.
