In India leakage of sewage water is very common phenomena. Due to unavailability of information in real time about the leakage of sewage water, blockages are created in different location of the sewage line. This creates an unhygienic environment in the society and also polluted the environment and ground water. A huge amount of methane gas is also generated on that location. The blockage of sewage water continuously generates the methane gases which are very harmful for human life. If we can monitor the flow of sewage water in the sewage pipe line and able to detect and inform the blockage by using electronic sensors, then leakage of sewage water as well as generation of methane gas can be controlled. For that we have developed a prototype which can be placed inside the sewage pipe line. It monitors the status of water flow inside the pipe line and sends the status signal to the server available at the nearest control unit on fixed interval. Hence the sewage cleaner people will immediately move to that location, where the alarm signals are generated to clean the path. It will also measure the volume of the methane gas, so that no mishap is happened on that scenario<\/em>\u201d (The abstract has been provided as is and has not been corrected for errors)<\/em><\/p>\nInvention 2 – WEARABLE DEVICE AND METHOD OF SLAYING INSECTS<\/strong><\/p>\nPatent Application No.: 201811025230<\/p>\n Applicant: INDRAPRASTHA INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, DELHI<\/p>\n Abstract:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> \u201cThe present invention provides a wearable device 100 and a method of slaying insects. The device 100 includes a base frame 110 embedded in a strap 120 of the wearable device 100. The device includes an electrocution element 130 configured to be accommodated inside the base frame 110 for electrocution of at least one insect and a plurality of means 140 (140a, 140b, 140c, 140d) for attracting the at least one insect to the wearable device 100. The means 140 emit light to attract insects, and the electrocution element 130 is configured to generate an electric current to electrocute the insect.\u201d (The abstract has been provided as is and has not been corrected for errors)<\/em><\/p>\nIndian Patent Updates<\/span><\/h2>\nUGC asks Universities to provide IPR as an optional subject.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn a most certainly welcome move, the University Grants Commission has published a notice, requesting all universities and affiliated colleges to offer intellectual property rights as an elective course. This provides students with a route to choose IPR as a subject on the optional credit based system. It has also asked universities to establish various chambers like \u201cInnovation Labs\u201d and \u201cIntellectual Property Centers\u201d to facilitate, spread awareness, and promote the use of these rights. It can be concluded, that, the objective of this move is to encourage young minds to take a step towards creativity and innovation in order to brighten the future. UGC also added in their letter to the universities that, \u201cA culture of innovation and entrepreneurship must be promoted as there is no dearth of grassroots level innovations in the country and efforts must be made to facilitate their growth.\u201d<\/p>\n CGPDTM & DIPP issue notice for empanelment of facilitators under SIPP (Startup Intellectual Property Protection) scheme<\/strong><\/p>\nThe DIPP (Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion) has issued a notice calling for the\u00a0empanelment of facilitators under SIPP or\u00a0Startup Intellectual Property Protection scheme. Persons already empanelled as facilitators can apply for renewal of their names in the list, while persons intending to empanel themselves as a facilitator may do so by submitting a request to the Controller on or before 20th November 2018. The SIPP scheme is a scheme from the Government of India where startups can file patents, trademarks and designs by paying only the government fee and by availing the services of the emapanelled facilitator. The scheme shall remain valid until the end of 31st March 2020. Attorney’s from BananaIP are already empanelled as facilitators under this scheme and have assisted over 20 startups in their IP filing requirements.<\/p>\n |
