PATENTS
Dr. Sowmya M. R., Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Sree Sankara College, Kalady and Dr. Santosh Kumar M. B., Associate Professor, Division of Information Technology, School of Engineering, CUSAT have received an Indian Patent for their innovation titled "An Automated Irrigation System Based On Crop Water Requirement (AISCR) And Its Method Thereof." AISCR proposes a method for automating agricultural irrigation systems based on the water requirements of crops by integrating Machine Learning techniques and Internet of Things. This invention includes a method for calculating the irrigation trigger point, which is used to start the irrigation process before the crops become water stressed. AISCR functions as a crop water irrigation alert system with a mobile application user interface, saving the time and effort of farmers.
Dr. Vivek Ramakrishnan, (presently Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Sree Sankara College, Kalady) and Dr. Neena S. John, Scientist E, Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences, DST, Bangalore, India have received an Indian Patent for their innovation titled " METHOD FOR RAPID SYNTHESIS OF POROUS AND METALLIC MOLYBDENUM OXIDE NANOSTRUCTURES (NSs)", demonstrate the formation of porous or foam-like MoO2 NSs catalyzed by tin oxide based substrates facilitating a high yield with formation of product in powder and thin film form, simultaneously. Synthesized MoO2 NSs are one among the most active Mo-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction, displaying low onset overpotential and high stability comparable to that of Pt. Growth of uniform, nanostructured MoO2 film on FTO can have wide implications in device fabrication.
