Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If large-scale testing devices using infrared spectrum analysis or ultrasonic detection are used, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to bulky size and requirement for professional training
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential testing function from complex large-scale devices by using simple test strips that can be manually operated. The test strips contain all necessary reagents and indicators, allowing users to perform dairy solution analysis without needing complex equipment or professional training, thus reducing device complexity while maintaining measurement precision through standardized test strip design
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical and optical detection systems (infrared spectrum analysis, ultrasonic detection) with a simplified colorimetric biochemical testing method. The test strips use chemical reactions and color changes that can be visually detected or measured with simple sensors, eliminating the need for bulky and complex testing devices while maintaining analysis accuracy
2Measurement precision
If large-scale testing devices are used, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to requirement for professional training
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the testing function from professional equipment and encapsulates it in user-friendly test strips. The test strips are designed for manual handling and require no specialized training to operate, allowing anyone to perform accurate dairy solution analysis by simply following basic instructions, thus dramatically improving ease of operation while maintaining measurement precision
Solution Approach 2:
The test strips are designed to be self-contained with all necessary reagents, indicators, and calibration information integrated into the strip itself. The system performs self-calibration using reference values printed on the test strips, eliminating the need for professional operators to perform complex calibration procedures, thereby making the system easy to operate for general users
3Measurement precision
If large-scale testing devices are used, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases due to visiting hospitals for testing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the testing capability from centralized hospital facilities and brings it to the user's location through portable test strips. Users can perform accurate dairy solution analysis at home or in any convenient location, eliminating the need to travel to hospitals for testing, thus significantly reducing time loss while maintaining measurement precision through standardized test strip methodology
4Measurement precision
If calibration information including adjustment factor is applied, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional calibration requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the calibration function from complex calibration systems and integrates it directly into the test strips themselves. Each test strip contains printed reference values and adjustment factors that are specific to that strip, allowing users to automatically obtain calibration information without needing external calibration equipment or complex procedures, thus improving measurement precision while keeping the system simple
Solution Approach 2:
The calibration information including adjustment factors is pre-printed on the test strips during manufacturing. This preliminary inclusion of calibration data eliminates the need for users to perform separate calibration steps or access external calibration sources, automatically providing accurate measurement results while avoiding the complexity of additional calibration systems
