Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication interfaces are used for data transmission in convolver or deconvolver, then communication coverage and functionality are improved, but communication speed is reduced and overall performance is impacted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple communication interfaces into a single unified streaming processing interface. The interface integrates both control signal transmission and data transmission functions that were previously handled by separate interfaces. The control pin directly controls the streaming dam to enable or disable data transmission, eliminating the need for multiple independent communication channels while maintaining full functionality and improving communication speed.
2Reliability
If communication protocol and address definition are established for each interface, then communication reliability is improved, but device complexity and communication overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal streaming processing interface that handles both control and data transmission functions. The single interface uses a control pin that can directly control the streaming dam state, eliminating the need for separate protocol handshaking and address definition for each interface. This multi-functional design reduces interface complexity while maintaining communication reliability through direct control mechanisms.
3Productivity
If streaming dam control logic is added to manage writability and readability, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The streaming dam incorporates self-service control logic where the control pin directly determines the writability and readability states without requiring complex external control circuits. The dam automatically adjusts its state based on the control pin signal, enabling efficient data transmission with minimal external intervention and reduced overall system complexity.
