Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional soybean breeding methods are used to develop new varieties with desirable traits, then the varieties achieve high yield and disease resistance, but the development process takes 6-12 years and requires extensive resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield stability and disease resistanceVSAvoidbreeding development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing detailed breeding objectives and selecting parent lines with desired traits before initiating the crossing program. This advance planning and preparation of genetic material enables more efficient progression through breeding stages, reducing overall development time while maintaining reliability of yield and disease resistance outcomes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If traditional breeding methods are used to combine multiple desirable traits, then stable high-yielding varieties are developed, but the process requires precise planning and is prone to directional changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety trait stabilityVSAvoidbreeding program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the breeding program into distinct phases with specific objectives: parent selection, crossing, progeny evaluation, and variety registration. Each phase focuses on specific traits and selection criteria, making the complex process of combining multiple desirable traits more manageable and reducing program complexity while maintaining trait stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If breeders aim to develop varieties adaptable to different conditions and environments, then agronomic soundness is improved, but the breeding process requires testing across multiple environments increasing resource requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental adaptabilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent develops soybean varieties with universal adaptability across multiple environments and agricultural conditions. By selecting parent lines with broad adaptability and evaluating progeny across diverse test locations, the breeding program creates varieties that function reliably in various soils, climates, and management systems, maximizing environmental versatility while optimizing resource use through strategic multi-environment testing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
