Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional voltage sampling methods are used, then the device complexity is low, but the measurement precision is insufficient and voltage output stability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides voltage measurement into differential components (non-inverting and inverting voltages) measured separately by the differential operational amplifier, then processed independently through calibration controllers before being recombined. This segmentation allows each channel to be optimized for precision while maintaining overall system manageability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces calibration controllers as intermediary devices between the differential operational amplifier and the final output. These intermediaries perform real-time calibration and compensation of voltage signals, improving measurement precision without requiring complete redesign of the entire measurement system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback through calibration controllers that continuously monitor the differential voltage signals and adjust compensation values based on detected deviations. This feedback mechanism prevents excessive voltage bias from causing data loss by actively correcting deviations before they affect measurement reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary calibration actions through the calibration controllers before final voltage measurements are taken. By pre-adjusting and compensating voltage signals, the system prevents the occurrence of excessive voltage bias that would lead to test data loss, ensuring reliable measurements from the outset.
