Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional blade production methods are used, then the production process is simple and materials are common, but the blade lacks sophisticated electronic features and security functionality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines traditional blade materials (organic, plastic, polymeric, or metallic fibers) with electronic components (sensors, conductors, data storage devices, holograms) to create a smart blade that integrates both structural and electronic functions in a single unified product
Solution Approach 2:
The blade is constructed as a composite structure combining traditional fiber-based materials with electronic materials such as conductors, sensors, and data storage devices, creating a multi-functional material system that achieves both mechanical integrity and electronic functionality
2Reliability
If advanced electronic features are integrated into the blade, then security and interaction capabilities are enhanced, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic components (sensors, conductors, data storage devices) are pre-integrated into the blade structure during the manufacturing process, allowing these features to be incorporated before the blade is put into service, ensuring proper positioning and secure integration
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs specialized rotary machines as intermediary equipment that facilitates the integration of electronic components into the blade structure, enabling complex features to be manufactured through controlled mechanical processes
3Object-affected harmful factors
If multiple security features are incorporated into the blade, then fraud prevention is improved, but the blade structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The blade structure incorporates nested security features including holograms embedded within the blade material, conductors integrated into the fiber structure, and sensors embedded within the blade body, creating a layered security architecture where multiple security functions are nested within each other

AI summary
This patent relates to a smart blade and a process for obtaining it, the use of which is in the field of data security, such as: fiduciary bonds, tax and consular stamps, monetary notes, contract certificates, identification cards, security cards, key devices and others. The invention involves a dry, thin blade or strip made from all kinds of substances (organic, plastic, polymeric and metallic fibres) reduced to a mass with the inclusion and incorporation of a system comprising an inlay, an electronic device made up of sensors and data storage devices incorporated into it, and a conductor that allows radiofrequency electromagnetic waves to be emitted or captured, and possibly a hologram embedded in the inlay. The result is a single, indivisible blade, constituting a new single element that is inseparable in its composition by means of the production process applied.
