The method includes the steps of: detecting presence of the vehicle approximate to a pollution checking area disposed near to a toll collection centre; instructing to a controller of the vehicle to reduce speed of the vehicle approximate to zero when the vehicle enters the pollution checking area; initiating a timer indicating a start time to initiate a pollution test for the vehicle; activating a plurality of pollution checking sensors within the pollution checking area to monitor presence of pollutants therein; estimating release of pollutants from an exhaust port of the vehicle using outputs of respective plurality of pollution checking sensors, wherein the plurality of pollution checking sensors avoid physical contact with the exhaust port of the vehicle; communicating the estimated release of pollutants of the vehicle to at least one computing device configured for a law enforcement agency along with registration details of the vehicle and ownership details of vehicle; and receiving at least one instruction from the at least one computing device to impose penalty on driver of the vehicle when the estimated release of the pollutants is beyond a threshold release of the pollutants.\u201d(This abstract has been provided as is and has not been corrected for errors.)<\/em><\/p>\n DRINKABLE SEA WATER: DESIGN INTELLIGENT SOLAR ADSORPTION DESALINATION & COOLING SYSTEM ON SEA WATER <\/strong><\/p>\n Applicant – <\/strong>Dr. M. NATARAJ et al.<\/p>\n Patent Application No. \u2013<\/strong> 201941025880<\/p>\n Abstract \u2013<\/strong>\u201cThe Invention DRINKABLE SEA WATER is to Applicable See water. The technology – Desalination is one of the most traditional processes to generate potable water. With the rise in demand for potable water and scarcity of fresh water resources, this process has gained special importance. Conventional desalination system use coal as a fuel for water heating purpose. Although coal is depleting with time and it is harmful to human. In addition, conventional thermal desalination processes involve evaporative methods such as multi-stage flash and solar distils, which are found to be energy intensive, whereas reverse osmosis based systems have high operating and maintenance costs. My invention is describes the Try bed Adsorption Desalination (3-BAD) system, which is an emerging process of thermal desalination cum refrigeration capable of utilizing low-grade heat easily obtainable from even non-concentrating type solar collectors. The system employs a combination of flash evaporation and thermal compression to generate cooling and desalinated water. Parabolic trough collector used for heating of water. To design, construct and test the solar desalination system with try and more adsorbed bed. It also has the ability to cool the water along with potable water. The cycle produces 7.598 litres\/day in a span of 7.30 hours with a COP of 0.697, which is maximum, comes at noon. This technology produces single products drinkable water.\u201d (This abstract has been provided as is and has not been corrected for errors.)<\/em><\/p>\n DPIIT receives reduced budgetary allocation for Financial Year 2019-20<\/strong><\/p>\n On 5th<\/sup> July 2019, the Finance Minister of India, Nirmala Sitharaman slashed tradition and presented the Union Budget wrapped in a red cloth emblemizing the national emblem of the country. According to Budget 2019, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Industrial Trade (DPIIT) has been awarded a reduced budget for the fiscal year 2019-20. DPIIT\u2019s budgetary allocation has been reduced to 5,674.51 crores from the previously allocated 6140.23 crores in 2018-19. On speculation, it has been observed that the reduction in the revised budget is due to the rising demands from segments relating to the development of the national industrial corridors and the Startup India initiative. Additionally, Intellectual Property segments received an increase of about 41% in fiscal allowance. For the year 2018-19, rupees 212 crores were allotted to this segment, whereas this year, 300 crores have been awarded. The Make in India initiative, launched in 2014 in order to create a global hub for manufacturing also observed a dramatic increase from 149 crores to 473 crores, this year.<\/p>\n RMNLU, Lucknow invites applications for Post-Graduate Diploma in IPR <\/strong><\/p>\n Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University, situated in Lucknow, is currently inviting applicants for admission into the Post-Graduate Diploma Program in Intellectual Property Law, for the year 2019-20. Interested applicants holding a graduate degree in any discipline from a University recognized by the UGC with at least 45%, will be eligible to apply for the program. Applications are expected to remain open until 10th<\/sup> August, 19. Formal lectures will begin in the month of September, the University.

The commendable decrease of backlog by 50% has been attributed primarily to the increase in number of examiners at the patent office. \u00a0In the written reply to the Rajya Sabha, the Minister has stated that As many as 15,284 patents were granted in 2018-19, while 1,12,856 applications are pending in the various patent offices at Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n
