Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If calculation method based on intensity variation is used, then concentration detection is improved, but substance classification capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from analyzing only intensity variations to analyzing spectral characteristics across multiple wavelengths. By adding the wavelength dimension to the measurement, the system can distinguish different substances based on their unique spectral signatures while maintaining concentration detection capabilities through multi-dimensional data analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the measurement parameter from single-intensity detection to multi-wavelength spectral detection. By measuring light absorption, reflection, or scattering characteristics across multiple wavelengths, the system extracts both concentration information (from intensity variations) and substance classification information (from spectral patterns), thereby resolving the information loss problem.
2Device complexity
If single-wavelength photodetection is used, then device complexity is reduced, but substance differentiation capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a light source that emits multiple wavelengths simultaneously and a photodetecting device that can detect across this broad spectrum. This multi-functional approach allows the same system to perform both concentration measurement and substance classification, achieving high differentiation precision without requiring multiple separate detection systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds the wavelength dimension to photodetection, enabling substance differentiation through spectral analysis. By measuring characteristics across multiple wavelengths rather than at a single wavelength, the system achieves enhanced substance identification capability while using an integrated detection platform.
