Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If the existing pool of perfume raw materials and delivery systems is used, then the current perfume products can be produced, but the scents are not longer lasting and cannot be fully tailored to individual desires

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescent longevityVSAvoidscent customization options
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces new perfume raw materials with modified molecular structures (specific cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl derivatives) that fundamentally change the chemical parameters of available scents. These structural modifications enable both extended longevity and novel odor characteristics, allowing perfumers to create customized scent profiles that were previously unattainable with existing materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple delivery system technologies (polymer-assisted delivery, molecule-assisted delivery, fiber-assisted delivery, amine-assisted delivery, cyclodextrin delivery, starch encapsulation, and inorganic carrier delivery) into a composite approach. This integration of diverse delivery mechanisms provides both extended scent duration and customizable release profiles, resolving the contradiction between longevity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Adaptability or versatility

If new perfume raw materials and delivery systems are introduced, then scent longevity and customization options are expanded, but the complexity of the perfume system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperfume options for perfumersVSAvoidperfume delivery system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the perfume delivery function into multiple independent delivery system options (polymer-assisted, molecule-assisted, fiber-assisted, amine-assisted, cyclodextrin, starch encapsulation, and inorganic carrier delivery). Each segment provides specific benefits and can be selected independently based on the desired application, managing complexity through modularity while expanding overall versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent develops perfume raw materials and delivery systems with universal applicability across multiple product types and delivery mechanisms. The new cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl derivatives can be used in various formulations and delivery systems, reducing the need for application-specific customization and thereby managing complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

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

3Ease of manufacture

If traditional perfume materials are used, then the perfume production process is simple, but the odor profiles are limited and do not meet diverse consumer needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperfume production simplicityVSAvoidvariety of perfume raw materials
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical parameters of perfume raw materials by introducing new cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl derivatives with specific molecular structures. These parameter changes create novel odor profiles while maintaining compatibility with existing perfume formulation and manufacturing processes, thereby expanding material variety without significantly complicating production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
