Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual filtering of potential interventions is performed, then filtering can be done with human judgment and oversight, but the process becomes time-consuming and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefiltering accuracyVSAvoiddeployment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training machine learning models on historical intervention data before actual filtering operations. This preliminary training enables the system to quickly evaluate new interventions without manual review, resolving the contradiction by preparing the filtering mechanism in advance so that actual filtering can proceed rapidly while maintaining accuracy through the pre-learned patterns from historical data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical human judgment process with an automated machine learning system. The ML model substitutes human reviewers by learning from historical intervention outcomes and automatically evaluating candidate interventions against learned patterns. This substitution eliminates human errors and time constraints while maintaining or improving filtering reliability through consistent application of learned criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If manual filtering processes are used to evaluate interventions, then human expertise can be applied, but the complexity and potential for misidentification increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintervention evaluation accuracyVSAvoidfiltering process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The filtering system is segmented into distinct functional modules: data preprocessing module, feature extraction module, machine learning model evaluation module, and decision output module. Each module handles a specific aspect of the filtering process, making the overall complex system manageable and maintainable. The segmentation allows human expertise to be embedded in specific modules rather than requiring entire manual review processes, reducing operational complexity while maintaining evaluation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning model acts as an intermediary between raw intervention data and final filtering decisions. Instead of direct human evaluation of complex intervention datasets, the ML model processes the data through learned patterns and presents simplified evaluation results to users. This intermediary layer reduces the complexity of direct human-intervention interaction while maintaining reliable evaluation through the model's learned expertise from historical data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If automated filtering systems are implemented, then speed and consistency improve, but the system requires training data and model development time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefiltering speedVSAvoidsystem setup complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and preparing training data from historical interventions before deploying the automated filtering system. This advance preparation includes gathering past intervention records, outcomes, and contextual data, then using this training set to train the ML model. By completing this preliminary training phase beforehand, the system achieves high filtering speed during operation without requiring complex real-time computations, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity and setup complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for probabilistically filtering candidate intervention representations. Systems and methods are described that receive a candidate intervention representation; specify a plurality of parameters as a function of the candidate intervention representation; identify a plurality of analytical constraints, where each analytical constraint corresponds to an analytical parameter of the plurality of parameters; generate a probabilistic output as a function of the candidate intervention representation, the plurality of analytic constraints, and training data correlating past intervention representations to a deterministic outcome; and, filter the at least a candidate intervention representation using the probabilistic output.
