Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If analysis results are processed and stored in real-time during model analysis, then measurement precision and evaluation accuracy are improved, but device complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the analysis result data into multiple hierarchical levels (raw measurement data, intermediate analysis results, final evaluation results). This segmentation allows the system to process and store only essential data at each level, reducing overall data complexity while maintaining measurement precision through selective detailed storage at critical stages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary processing of analysis results during the model analysis phase, where data is pre-validated, pre-formatted, and pre-categorized before final storage. This preliminary action reduces the complexity of subsequent data processing operations and ensures measurement precision is maintained through early error detection and data quality assurance.
2Adaptability or versatility
If analysis results are saved in non-volatile memory for long-term storage and flexible retrieval, then adaptability and versatility are improved, but device complexity and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal data storage architecture where a single non-volatile memory system serves multiple functions: storing raw measurement data, intermediate analysis results, final evaluations, and metadata. This multi-functional storage system provides adaptability for various retrieval scenarios while avoiding the complexity of multiple separate storage systems through a unified data management interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates structured data copies organized in a hierarchical format during the analysis process, where essential information is replicated at different abstraction levels. These copies enable flexible retrieval for different purposes (detailed analysis, summary reports, validation) without requiring complex real-time processing of the original data, thus improving adaptability while managing storage complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If complete analysis results are processed and stored for all possible future uses, then adaptability is improved, but loss of time and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by storing complete detailed information only for specific critical analysis results that require high adaptability, while using summarized or aggregated data for less critical results. This selective detail storage reduces overall processing time and storage requirements while maintaining adaptability where it is most needed, avoiding the time loss of processing and storing unnecessary complete data sets.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial processing and storage of analysis results based on anticipated future needs. Rather than processing and storing all possible data variations, the system processes and stores essential analysis results with sufficient detail for most applications, accepting that some edge-case adaptability may be limited. This partial action approach significantly reduces processing time and storage overhead while maintaining adequate adaptability for practical uses.
