Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If beamforming configurations are used for wireless power delivery, then power transmission is achieved, but the system cannot achieve high-performance results due to limitations in parameter assessment and search efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary assessments of candidate power transmission settings before actual power transmission. This includes evaluating multiple candidate settings in advance and selecting optimal parameters beforehand, which reduces the time needed during actual power delivery operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts power transmission settings based on real-time conditions. It continuously assesses transmission parameters and adjusts beamforming configurations dynamically to maintain optimal performance as environmental conditions change, rather than using fixed configurations.
2Reliability
If comprehensive parameter assessment is performed to ensure optimal power transmission, then transmission quality improves, but the search process becomes lengthy and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the parameter assessment process into manageable components. It divides the search space into candidate settings that can be evaluated independently, allowing systematic exploration of parameters without overwhelming complexity. This segmentation enables thorough assessment while maintaining organizational structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where assessment results from candidate settings inform subsequent search directions. By using feedback from preliminary evaluations, the system refines its search strategy and focuses computational resources on promising parameter combinations, reducing overall complexity while maintaining reliability.
3Speed
If adaptive antenna arrays and supergaining antennas are employed to increase power transmission rates, then transmission speed improves, but the system complexity and difficulty of manufacture increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system designs antenna arrays that serve multiple functions: they provide beamforming capabilities for directional power transmission, enable adaptive configuration for different transmission scenarios, and incorporate supergaining properties for enhanced efficiency. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, simplifying manufacturing while maintaining high transmission rates.
