Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional simulation techniques (Monte Carlo or Latin Hypercube) are used to produce expected output distribution, then the optimization process can proceed with known input distributions, but the techniques fail to guide optimization using interrelationships among input parameters and between input parameters and outputs
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by calculating significance levels that quantify the relationship between input parameters and outputs, then using this information to guide the optimization process. The significance levels provide continuous feedback about which parameters matter most, allowing the optimization to focus on relevant parameters while accounting for interrelationships.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces significance levels as an intermediary metric that mediates between the complex interrelationships of multiple parameters and the optimization process. This intermediary translates the complex parameter interactions into actionable guidance, enabling the optimization to utilize interrelationship information without being overwhelmed by complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional techniques are used for optimization, then the process can proceed with standard input variations, but they fail to identify opportunities to increase input variation that has little or no impact on output variations
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes parameters by introducing significance levels that measure the impact of each input parameter on outputs. This allows the optimization process to identify parameters with low significance levels (little impact on outputs) and safely increase their variation, thereby improving adaptability without compromising output quality.
3Productivity
If conventional techniques are used, then the optimization process can run without detailed parameter analysis, but they fail to represent the optimization process and results effectively and efficiently to users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts key information by calculating and presenting significance levels for each input parameter. This extraction isolates the most important parameter relationships and presents them clearly to users, maintaining optimization efficiency while preventing loss of critical information about parameter importance and interrelationships.
