Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If radiance correction is applied using classical blackbody radiation theory, then temperature measurement can be performed on real objects, but measurement precision deteriorates because the radiance correction factor ε(λ·T) cannot be precisely determined
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from classical blackbody radiation parameters to quantum theory parameters by introducing energy level structure characteristics. The radiance correction is reformulated using quantum mechanical parameters (energy levels, transition probabilities) rather than classical continuous radiation parameters, enabling precise determination of the correction factor for real objects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces quantum theory as an intermediary framework that bridges the gap between ideal blackbody radiation and real object radiation. By using quantum mechanical descriptions of energy level structures as intermediaries, the patent enables accurate radiance correction without requiring direct measurement of difficult-to-obtain classical parameters.
2Reliability
If the radiance correction factor ε(λ·T) is determined through classical methods, then some correction can be applied, but the correction becomes inaccurate due to dependence on multiple varying factors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter set from classical continuous spectral radiance parameters to quantum discrete energy level parameters. This transformation makes the radiance correction factor determinable through quantum mechanical calculations based on known energy level structures, reducing dependence on uncertain classical parameters.
3Measurement precision
If quantum theory correction is applied, then measurement precision is significantly improved, but device complexity increases due to advanced physical model requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential quantum mechanical features (energy level structures, transition probabilities) from the complex quantum theory framework and applies only these necessary elements to the radiance correction. This selective extraction maintains measurement precision while reducing the burden of implementing full quantum theory.
4Device complexity
If classical blackbody radiation model is used, then device complexity is low, but measurement precision deteriorates because real objects deviate from ideal blackbody behavior
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the fundamental parameters of the radiation model from classical continuous spectral distribution to quantum discrete energy level transitions. This parameter change enables accurate modeling of real object radiation characteristics while maintaining a relatively simple correction framework based on quantum mechanical principles.
