Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If LED lights emit photons continuously or in fixed patterns, then the lighting system is simple and energy-efficient, but it cannot adjust to different organism needs and may cause unwanted biological responses
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses mobile real-time location units to detect organism presence and transmits location data to LED light arrays. The LED lights receive this feedback information and automatically adjust their photon emission patterns accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to organism needs without requiring complex manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces mobile real-time location units as intermediary devices between organisms and LED lighting systems. These units act as mediators that collect location data from organisms and transmit control signals to LED arrays, enabling indirect control and reducing the complexity of direct organism-light interaction
2Measurement precision
If the system tracks and responds to each organism individually, then biological response accuracy is improved, but energy consumption and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs partial action by focusing photon emission adjustments only on LED lights located within a specific range of the organism, rather than controlling all lights in the environment. This selective approach maintains measurement precision for organism location while reducing overall energy consumption by limiting active control to relevant areas
Applied Scientific Principles
