Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional energy wave propagation methods are used, then device complexity is reduced, but energy location density and resolution are insufficient to stimulate human sensory receptors
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the waveguide array into multiple discrete waveguides, each independently configured to direct energy along specific propagation paths. This segmentation enables precise control over energy distribution to achieve high energy location density while maintaining manageable device complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
Each waveguide in the array is configured with local quality variations, including specific shapes and orientations, to optimize energy propagation in different regions. This allows the system to achieve high resolution and energy density at specific locations while adapting the overall device complexity to match application requirements.
2Manufacturing precision
If tessellated shaped waveguides are used to achieve seamless energy surfaces, then energy propagation resolution is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple waveguides are merged into a tessellated array where adjacent waveguides share common boundaries and energy propagation paths. This merging creates seamless energy surfaces that maintain high manufacturing precision while simplifying the overall manufacturing process through integrated design and fabrication methods.
3Quantity of substance
If high-density energy propagation paths are configured, then sensory stimulation capability is improved, but energy loss increases
Solution Approach 1:
The waveguide array employs dynamic energy routing where energy propagation paths are optimized based on demand. This allows the system to concentrate energy density at specific locations and times when sensory stimulation is required, while reducing energy propagation and minimizing losses during periods of lower demand through adaptive control mechanisms.
