Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If parameter optimization is performed subjectively in nonlinear least squares method, then baseline estimation can be obtained, but measurement precision and reliability deteriorate due to lack of objective criteria
Solution Approach 1:
The invention implements feedback by using detected peaks as validation criteria for baseline estimation. The system estimates a baseline, detects peaks in the corrected spectrum, and uses peak characteristics (number, position, area) to evaluate whether the baseline estimation is appropriate. This feedback loop replaces subjective parameter optimization with objective peak-based validation, improving both measurement precision and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention substitutes the mechanical/subjective parameter optimization process with an automated peak detection and evaluation system. Instead of relying on subjective judgment to optimize baseline estimation parameters, the system automatically detects peaks and uses peak characteristics to objectively evaluate baseline quality, replacing human subjectivity with automated analytical criteria.
2Measurement precision
If baseline is not accurately estimated, then processing speed can be maintained, but measurement precision deteriorates due to inability to quantitatively evaluate peak intensity
Solution Approach 1:
The invention performs preliminary peak detection on the original spectrum before baseline estimation. By detecting peaks in advance and using their characteristics as target criteria, the system guides the baseline estimation process to achieve accurate peak intensity evaluation. This preliminary action enables subsequent quantitative evaluation without requiring iterative re-estimation, maintaining processing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses detected peak characteristics as feedback criteria to evaluate baseline estimation quality. After estimating a baseline and correcting the spectrum, the system detects peaks and evaluates whether their characteristics match expected patterns. This feedback mechanism ensures accurate peak intensity evaluation while maintaining efficiency by avoiding unnecessary iterative estimations.
3Manufacturing precision
If conventional baseline correction is applied, then processing can be completed quickly, but manufacturing precision deteriorates due to peak distortion and inability to reveal buried peaks
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses peak detection as a feedback mechanism to evaluate whether baseline correction preserves peak shapes. After baseline estimation and correction, the system detects peaks and evaluates their characteristics. If peaks are distorted or buried peaks are not revealed, the system can adjust the baseline estimation parameters and re-estimate, ensuring high manufacturing precision without sacrificing too much productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention implements a dynamic baseline estimation approach where the system can adaptively adjust estimation parameters based on peak detection results. Rather than using a fixed conventional correction method, the system dynamically modifies its estimation process based on feedback from peak characteristics, enabling it to preserve peak shapes and reveal buried peaks while maintaining reasonable processing speed.
