Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multi-source heterogeneous data is used for comprehensive fault detection, then detection comprehensiveness is improved, but data inconsistency and modeling difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection comprehensivenessVSAvoidmodeling difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms multi-source heterogeneous data into a unified representation by changing the parameter space. It projects data from different views (image, signal, text) into a common feature space using autoencoders and attention mechanisms, converting inconsistent data categories into comparable parameter forms that can be jointly analyzed for comprehensive fault detection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary attention mechanism that mediates between multi-source heterogeneous data and the final fault detection output. This attention mechanism weights and integrates features from different data views, acting as a bridge that reconciles data inconsistencies while preserving the comprehensive diagnostic information from all sources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If single data source is used for fault detection, then data consistency is maintained, but detection comprehensiveness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata consistencyVSAvoiddetection comprehensiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal multi-view detection framework that can process multiple types of data (image, signal, text) through a single integrated system. Each data view is processed by dedicated sub-networks that output to a shared attention mechanism, allowing the system to maintain data-specific characteristics while achieving comprehensive multi-functional detection capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If traditional data processing methods are used, then processing simplicity is maintained, but fault detection accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing simplicityVSAvoidfault detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the fault detection process into distinct functional modules: data acquisition from multiple views, separate preprocessing pipelines for each data type, view-specific autoencoders for feature extraction, an attention mechanism for integration, and a final classification output. This segmentation maintains operational clarity while achieving high detection accuracy through specialized processing at each stage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
