Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a single compound or conventional pest control composition is used, then the composition is simple to manufacture and apply, but it lacks synergistic activity and shows insufficient control effect on pests

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol effect on pestVSAvoidcomposition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the compound of Formula (1) with one or more diamide compounds from Group (A) to create a composite pest control composition. This merging of multiple active ingredients produces synergistic activity, where the combination achieves superior pest control efficacy compared to individual compounds used separately, directly resolving the contradiction between simplicity and effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite chemical formulation by integrating the compound of Formula (1) with specific diamide compounds (Formula (2) or Formula (3))). This composite approach leverages the complementary modes of action and properties of different compounds to achieve enhanced and reliable pest control, transforming a simple single-ingredient approach into a sophisticated multi-ingredient system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If a combination of multiple compounds is used to achieve synergistic activity, then the control effect on pest is improved, but the composition becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol effect on pestVSAvoidcomposition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the weight ratio parameters of the compound of Formula (1) to diamide compounds in the range of 1/100 to 100/1 to achieve maximum synergistic effect. By carefully controlling these compositional parameters, the formulation achieves enhanced pest control reliability while managing the complexity of the multi-ingredient system through defined proportion ranges

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional compositions are used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the composition lacks broad-spectrum activity against various arthropod pests and plant diseases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebroad-spectrum activityVSAvoidmanufacturing simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The composite composition comprising the compound of Formula (1) and diamide compounds from Group (A) achieves multi-functionality by demonstrating broad-spectrum activity against various arthropod pests and plant diseases. This single formulation can address multiple pest types and disease scenarios, replacing the need for multiple separate conventional compositions and simplifying the overall pest management approach despite the complexity of the formulation itself

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