Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current animal imaging systems face challenges in efficiently and accurately identifying scanning cabins, leading to high identification costs, low efficiency, and potential misjudgment due to the need for complex sensor equipment and algorithms, which complicates the process of adapting to different animal types and sizes during imaging.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize coding information to determine the specification parameters of scanning cabins, integrating non-contact physiological monitoring devices such as electrocardiogram detection, cameras, and thermometers within the cabin, allowing for wireless transmission of data and eliminating the need for direct contact and complex equipment, thereby simplifying the identification process and improving accuracy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If complex sensor equipment and algorithms are used for scanning cabin identification, then identification accuracy can be improved, but identification cost and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the identification function from complex sensor equipment and algorithms, implementing it instead through a simple coding system integrated into the scanning cabin structure. The coding information is embedded in the cabin's physical structure (e.g., through different connector configurations or visible codes), allowing identification without requiring complex external sensing and processing systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses coding information as a simplified representation or copy of the scanning cabin's identity, rather than relying on complex physical characteristics. This coding system serves as a lightweight surrogate that captures the essential identification data without requiring the full complexity of the actual cabin structure or advanced sensing systems.
2Measurement precision
If complex sensor equipment and algorithms are used for scanning cabin identification, then identification accuracy can be improved, but identification cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs inexpensive coding elements (such as colored markers, printed codes, or simple connector variations) that can be easily manufactured and replaced if needed. These coding features are far cheaper than complex sensor systems while providing sufficient identification accuracy for the application.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent removes the expensive complex sensing and processing equipment, replacing it with a simple coding system that is inexpensive to manufacture and implement, thereby dramatically reducing identification costs while maintaining adequate accuracy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If scanning cabins are replaced for different animal types and sizes, then adaptability is improved, but identification time and preparation time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements pre-coded identification systems on scanning cabins before they are needed. Each cabin comes pre-marked with its specification code, so when replacement is needed, the system can quickly identify and select the appropriate cabin without requiring time-consuming measurements or complex decision-making processes during the preparation phase.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual identification processes (visual inspection, physical measurements) with an automated coding recognition system. This substitution of mechanical/manual processes with an automated information system dramatically reduces the time required to identify and select the correct scanning cabin for different animal types and sizes.
4Reliability
If contact-based physiological monitoring is used, then monitoring capability is improved, but signal attenuation and operation complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wireless communication intermediary between the physiological sensors and the monitoring system. Instead of direct physical contact with cables that cause signal attenuation, the system uses wireless signals (such as radio frequency or optical wireless) as an intermediary medium to transmit physiological data, thereby eliminating signal loss associated with physical connections while maintaining monitoring capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical contact-based monitoring system with a wireless system. This substitution eliminates the physical cables and connectors that cause signal attenuation, using electromagnetic fields instead of physical conduits to transmit physiological information, thereby improving signal quality while maintaining monitoring reliability.
