Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional hypertension medications (ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers) are used for long-term treatment, then blood pressure control is achieved, but side effects and patient dependence increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblood pressure controlVSAvoidside effects and dependence
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines two probiotic strains (Akkermansia muciniphila and Lactobacillus rhamnosus) into a single preparation to achieve synergistic anti-hypertensive effects. This merging of multiple beneficial microorganisms enhances therapeutic efficacy while avoiding the harmful side effects associated with traditional pharmaceutical interventions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs probiotic organisms that are biologically active but transient in their action mechanism, replacing long-term pharmaceutical dependence with temporary probiotic intervention that resets physiological balance without creating dependency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If probiotic preparations are developed as alternatives to traditional medications, then safety and reduced dependence are achieved, but treatment efficacy may be insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety and dependence reductionVSAvoidtreatment efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite probiotic preparation containing two different bacterial strains (Akkermansia muciniphila and Lactobacillus rhamnosus) that work synergistically. This composite approach combines the beneficial effects of each strain to achieve enhanced anti-hypertensive efficacy while maintaining the safety advantages of probiotic-based therapy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent leverages the dynamic interaction between two probiotic strains that complement each other's mechanisms of action, creating a flexible and adaptive therapeutic system that can effectively address hypertension through multiple physiological pathways simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If single-strain probiotic preparations are used, then simplicity and safety are maintained, but synergistic efficacy is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepreparation simplicityVSAvoidblood pressure regulation efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges two probiotic strains into a single integrated preparation, achieving synergistic blood pressure regulation effects that exceed the sum of individual strain effects, while maintaining practical simplicity in formulation and administration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
