Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple control apparatuses with different image processing capacities are used, then the system can support diverse imaging needs, but users face inconvenience in selecting appropriate imaging modes
Solution Approach 1:
The radiographic image capturing apparatus automatically detects the image processing capacity of the connected control apparatus and autonomously selects the appropriate imaging mode without requiring user intervention. The system evaluates the control apparatus capabilities and self-adjusts to the optimal configuration, making the operation as convenient as simply connecting the device.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the imaging mode parameter based on the detected image processing capacity of the control apparatus. Different imaging modes (first, second, third modes) are automatically selected corresponding to different control apparatus capabilities, allowing the system to adapt its parameters to match the connected device's processing capacity.
2Productivity
If imaging mode is manually selected based on control apparatus capacity, then processing can be optimized, but user time and effort are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the control apparatus's image processing capacity as soon as connection is established, before the user needs to perform any imaging tasks. This preliminary evaluation allows the system to pre-configure the appropriate imaging mode, eliminating the need for users to spend time on mode selection during actual operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The apparatus automatically performs the mode selection task that would otherwise require user time and effort. By detecting control apparatus capabilities and autonomously configuring the imaging mode, the system converts a manual time-consuming operation into an automatic self-service process.
3Ease of operation
If a single control apparatus is used with limited functions, then the system is simpler to operate, but adaptability to different imaging requirements is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The radiographic image capturing apparatus is designed to work universally with multiple types of control apparatuses having different image processing capacities. By supporting communication with various control devices and automatically adapting to their capabilities, the capturing apparatus itself becomes a multi-functional system that can serve diverse imaging requirements while maintaining simple operation for users.
