Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional peak detection methods (KNN, peak tree, backward interval PLS) are used to extract Raman characteristic peaks from meat samples, then the analysis can be performed, but the model complexity increases and robustness decreases due to peak overlap and excessive characteristic vectors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepeak identification accuracyVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex Raman spectrum into multiple regions based on characteristic peak positions, then performs principal component analysis on each region separately. This segmentation approach reduces the dimensionality of the data and simplifies the model while maintaining accurate peak identification, directly addressing the contradiction between measurement precision and device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the most significant principal components that contain the essential information for peak identification, discarding redundant components. This extraction process reduces model complexity by focusing on key features while preserving the ability to accurately identify characteristic peaks in overlapping spectral regions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Measurement precision

If traditional peak detection methods are used on meat samples with complex components, then the analysis can proceed, but the processing speed decreases due to the need to handle excessive characteristic vectors

Solution Approach 1:

By dividing the spectrum into regions and performing PCA on each region, the patent reduces the total number of characteristic vectors that need to be processed. This segmentation strategy maintains classification accuracy by preserving region-specific features while significantly improving processing speed through reduced computational burden

Inventive Principle:
