Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a device is used to counteract noise caused by the output signal to the input signal, then noise is reduced, but circuit area and design complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovenoiseVSAvoidcircuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the noise counteraction function into the existing transmission line structure by using the same physical path for both signal transmission and noise cancellation. The output signal is fed back through the same cable infrastructure, eliminating the need for separate shielding or isolation circuits that would increase complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the harmful output signal that causes noise into a beneficial element by intentionally feeding it back through the transmission line. This fed-back output signal actively counteracts the noise it originally caused, transforming the problem into a solution mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If extra circuits are added to counteract noise, then noise is omitted, but manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovenoiseVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The invention combines multiple functions (signal transmission, noise generation, and noise cancellation) into a single integrated approach using the existing cable infrastructure. This eliminates the need for additional noise-filtering components that would increase manufacturing cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses its own output signal to cancel its own generated noise through self-feedback. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for external active noise cancellation components, reducing manufacturing cost while maintaining effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Device complexity

If the transmitter and receiver share the same transmission line, then circuit simplicity is maintained, but noise interference occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit simplicityVSAvoidnoise interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by intentionally introducing the output signal back into the transmission line before the noise can interfere with the input signal. This preemptive measure creates a counteracting voltage that neutralizes the harmful noise effect in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The transmission line itself acts as an intermediary that carries both the useful input signal and the noise-canceling output signal. By using the existing cable infrastructure as the mediator, the system maintains simplicity while enabling noise cancellation without requiring separate dedicated paths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
