Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If transmission-type incineration X-ray scattering technology is used to analyze complex structures, then measurement capability is provided, but analysis time becomes excessively long

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex target structure into multiple primitive structures (spheres, cylinders, plates) based on electron density distribution. Each primitive structure is processed separately with analytical formulas, and the results are combined to obtain the total scattering intensity distribution. This segmentation reduces computational complexity and analysis time while maintaining measurement accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the problem from direct numerical integration of complex mesh data into parameter extraction and analytical calculation. By representing structures in terms of primitive geometric parameters (radius, height, area, volume) and using analytical formulas for scattering intensity, the computation time is dramatically reduced compared to direct numerical methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If mesh data with many elements is used to represent complex structures, then structural representation accuracy is improved, but calculation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural representation accuracyVSAvoidcalculation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges meshes with identical electron density values into single primitive structures. Multiple meshes representing the same material composition are combined into one representative primitive structure (sphere, cylinder, or plate), reducing the number of separate calculations needed while preserving the accuracy of the electron density representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the essential parameters (electron density, geometric dimensions) from the complex mesh data to create simplified primitive structure representations. This extraction retains the critical information needed for scattering intensity calculation while eliminating unnecessary computational complexity associated with detailed mesh geometry.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
