Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a conventional cosmetic applicator is used by an individual with motion disorders or unintentional tremors, then the device is simple and easy to operate, but the application precision and stability deteriorate due to unintentional movements
Solution Approach 1:
A motion stabilizing device serves as an intermediary between the user and the cosmetic applicator. The stabilizing device includes a connector that attaches to the applicator handle, providing mechanical stabilization to counteract unintentional movements and tremors, thereby improving application precision without requiring the applicator itself to be complex
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the purely mechanical control system with an integrated system that incorporates processing circuitry and sensors. The processing circuitry receives input from sensors (such as cameras or proximity sensors) and automatically adjusts the angular position of the stamp, substituting manual mechanical control with an automated control system that compensates for unintentional movements
2Stability of the object's composition
If a motion stabilizing device is added to the cosmetic applicator, then application stability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a cosmetic applicator with handle, a separate motion stabilizing device that attaches to the handle, and integrated processing circuitry. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, improving application stability while managing overall device complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The motion stabilizing device is designed with a universal connector that can attach to various cosmetic applicator handles, making the stabilizing mechanism multi-functional and adaptable. This universality allows the same stabilization technology to benefit multiple different applicator types, reducing the need for multiple specialized devices
