Core Design Contradiction:

Duration of action of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a composite toxic material retaining composition that combines multiple materials with complementary properties. This composite structure enables enhanced retention capability for diverse toxic materials while maintaining a relatively simple overall composition design, avoiding the need for complex multi-component systems.

Inventive Principle:
