Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional amide compounds are used for pest control, then fungicidal activity is provided, but comprehensive pest control effectiveness is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control effectivenessVSAvoidspectrum of pest control
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of amide compounds by introducing an N-oxide functional group on the pyridine ring and varying substituents (halogens, alkyl groups, etc.) to enhance both fungicidal and insecticidal activities, thereby improving overall pest control effectiveness while expanding the spectrum of control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing amide compounds are used, then simple chemical structures are maintained, but pest control spectrum is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum of pest controlVSAvoidchemical structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates composite chemical structures by combining the pyridine ring, amide group, and N-oxide functional group into a single molecule, integrating multiple functional elements that work synergistically to provide both fungicidal and insecticidal activities within one compound structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
