Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional X-ray detection is used on objects containing multiple materials, then the detection process is simple, but the detection accuracy deteriorates due to defective results
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the detection process into multiple distinct stages: initial transmission X-ray detection to obtain first detection information, frequency analysis to generate frequency information, ratio calculation to determine substance proportions, and final synthesis to generate second detection information. This segmentation allows each stage to address specific aspects of the detection problem, improving overall accuracy while maintaining manageable complexity through systematic organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes multiple parameters in the detection process: it transforms transmission X-ray intensity data into absorption coefficient values, converts absorption coefficients into frequency information through spectral analysis, and adjusts the weighting of different substance components based on calculated ratios. These parameter transformations enable the system to extract more meaningful information from the raw detection data, resolving the contradiction between simple detection and accurate results.
2Measurement precision
If absorption coefficient allocation is performed for each divided section, then the internal shape detection improves, but the data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the measurement space into multiple discrete sections and allocates absorption coefficient values to each section individually. This segmentation enables precise mapping of absorption characteristics to specific spatial locations, improving internal shape detection accuracy. The divided sections approach transforms continuous absorption data into discrete, manageable units that can be processed systematically.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by first dividing the space into sections and pre-allocating absorption coefficient values before conducting the final synthesis. This preliminary organization of data into structured sections with assigned absorption coefficients simplifies the subsequent processing steps, as the system already has pre-processed, organized data ready for frequency analysis and ratio calculation.
3Reliability
If frequency information and ratio information are used to modify detection data, then the detection reliability improves, but the computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where frequency information and ratio information are continuously used to refine and modify the detection data. The frequency information from spectral analysis provides feedback on the composition of different materials, while the calculated substance ratios feed back into the final detection information generation. This iterative refinement process improves reliability by continuously adjusting the detection results based on multiple independent measurements and calculations.
