Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a proprietary power supply uses a proprietary cartridge interface, then the power supply can control operation of proprietary cartridges, but the power supply cannot be used with foreign cartridges from other sources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an adaptor as an intermediary component that bridges the proprietary power supply interface and foreign cartridge interfaces. The adaptor includes a power supply interface that mates with the proprietary cartridge interface and at least one foreign cartridge interface that mates with a power coupler of a foreign cartridge, enabling compatibility without modifying the proprietary power supply itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The adaptor is designed with multiple foreign cartridge interfaces (e.g., 510 connector, threaded post, unthreaded post, post-less interconnect) to accommodate various foreign cartridge types, making a single adaptor component universally compatible with multiple different cartridge standards while working with the proprietary power supply.
2Reliability
If the cartridge interface and power supply interface are physically coupled, then electrical communication is established, but the system cannot recognize or communicate with non-proprietary or foreign oil tanks
Solution Approach 1:
The adaptor serves as an intermediary that not only provides physical coupling but also enables electrical communication and recognition between the proprietary power supply and foreign oil tanks. The adaptor's interface components facilitate both mechanical connection and electrical signal transmission, allowing the power supply to recognize and communicate with foreign cartridge types.
3Ease of operation
If the power supply is designed for proprietary cartridges only, then the power supply can control operation of proprietary cartridges, but the power supply cannot be interchanged with interchangeable power systems
Solution Approach 1:
The adaptor acts as a mediator that allows the proprietary power supply to maintain its control capabilities for proprietary cartridges while simultaneously enabling interchangeability with various power systems through its multi-compatible interface design.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into three independent components: the proprietary power supply, the adaptor, and foreign cartridges. This segmentation allows each component to maintain its original functionality while enabling new interoperability possibilities through the adaptor interface.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The interchangeable power system includes a battery unit, and a battery unit, and a battery unit, and the inability to interchange with interchangeable interchangeable systems, and the inability to interchange with interchangeable systems.
Implementation Method 1
a heating element positioned within the cartridge to vaporize the inhalable substance
Implementation Method 2
an airflow in communication with the heating element and the inhalable substance to move the vaporized inhalable substance
Data Source
AI summary
A system for diffusing an inhalable substance comprises a power supply including a cartridge interface. The cartridge interface mates with a first power supply interface of a proprietary cartridge, and the system also includes an adaptor including a second power supply interface and a foreign cartridge interface. The second power supply interface mates with the cartridge interface, and the foreign cartridge interface mates with a power coupler of a foreign cartridge.
