Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If conventional technical models are used to predict absorption and emission spectra, then the prediction process is simplified, but the prediction accuracy and completeness of wide spectrum ranges deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the spectrum prediction problem from direct spectral value prediction to parameter prediction of an approximated Franck-Condon progression model. By changing the prediction targets to physical parameters (transition energy E0, Huang-Rhys factors Si, vibrational energy levels ωi, and baseline distribution parameter C), the model achieves both computational efficiency and high prediction accuracy for wide spectrum ranges.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an approximated Franck-Condon progression model as an intermediary between the molecular structure representation and the final spectrum. This intermediate model serves as a bridge that connects the input molecular data to the output spectrum through physically meaningful parameters, enabling accurate reconstruction of wide spectral ranges while maintaining model efficiency.
2Quantity of substance
If abbreviated information (maximum wavelengths, half-width, area) is used for training, then the training data requirements are reduced, but the ability to express complete spectrum information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of directly storing and processing complete spectral curves which require large amounts of data, the patent copies the essential physical characteristics of spectra into a parametric Franck-Condon progression model. By representing spectra through a small number of physical parameters (E0, Si, ωi, C) rather than full spectral curves, the model captures complete spectrum information with minimal training data while avoiding information loss.
3Device complexity
If discretized spectrum information is used for predictions, then the computational complexity is reduced, but the continuity and accuracy of wide spectrum prediction deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-defining the physical framework of the Franck-Condon progression model before actual spectrum prediction. By establishing the theoretical structure with its characteristic parameters (transition energy, Huang-Rhys factors, vibrational levels, and baseline distribution) in advance, the model ensures continuous and physically accurate spectrum generation across wide ranges without requiring complex computational discretization during prediction.
