Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a quantity of sequences is restricted to be a power of 2, then the sequence design follows a simple rule, but the flexibility and adaptability for different ambiguity zone requirements are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesequence design simplicityVSAvoidsequence quantity flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter constraint from 'must be a power of 2' to 'can be any positive integer'. By introducing prime number factors into the sequence construction method, the system can now support flexible sequence quantities (e.g., 6, 10, 15, 21) while maintaining mathematical rigor and detection performance, thus resolving the contradiction between simplicity and flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the sequence construction into modular components: base sequences, prime number factors, and composite structure. This segmentation allows flexible combination of components to achieve different sequence quantities without complicating the overall design process, maintaining ease of manufacture while enabling adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If sequence design is limited to power of 2 quantities, then the design process is straightforward, but the detection precision and low ambiguity zone performance are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign process complexityVSAvoiddetection precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the quantitative parameter from restricted power-of-2 values to any positive integer by incorporating prime number theory. This enables optimization of sequence quantities for specific detection scenarios, achieving better low ambiguity zone performance and detection precision while keeping the design process manageable through systematic construction methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite sequence structures by combining base sequences with prime number factors and Golay complementary pairs. This composite approach enables tailored sequence designs that optimize detection precision for different applications while maintaining a systematic design process through the composite construction framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Ease of manufacture

If adjacent sub-sequence sets are made identical, then the sequence design is simplified, but the low ambiguity zone distinctness and detection performance are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesequence design simplicityVSAvoidlow ambiguity zone distinctness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic design options for adjacent sub-sequence sets: they can be identical OR form Golay complementary pairs. This dynamic flexibility allows the designer to choose the relationship that best suits specific requirements - simplicity when identical sets are sufficient, and enhanced distinctness when complementary pairs are needed, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of manufacture and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the sequence structure into sub-sequence sets that can independently be designed with different relationships. This segmentation enables selective application of identical or complementary relationships in different parts of the sequence structure, optimizing both design simplicity and low ambiguity zone distinctness according to specific application needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
