Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple skin treatments are administered using separate devices, then each treatment can be applied, but the system complexity increases and coordination between treatments becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple treatment functions (light therapy, plasma treatment, and formula application) into a single integrated applicator device. The applicator integrates a roller ball for formula application, an electrode for plasma generation, and light therapy capabilities, all controlled by a single microcontroller, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The applicator is designed as a universal device that can perform multiple skin treatment functions simultaneously or sequentially. The single applicator can administer light therapy, plasma treatment, and topical formula application, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices and improving coordination between treatments
2Productivity
If multiple treatments are applied simultaneously, then treatment efficiency improves, but precision in controlling each treatment's application and duration decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The microcontroller monitors and controls the duration and parameters of each treatment modality (light therapy, plasma treatment, formula application) independently, even when applied simultaneously. The system tracks treatment progression and can adjust parameters in real-time, ensuring precise control over each treatment's application and duration while maintaining high efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts treatment parameters and timing based on real-time conditions. The microcontroller can modify the duration, intensity, and sequencing of different treatments during application, allowing precise control over each treatment modality while maintaining efficient simultaneous administration
