Title Type Description Reference
A Spectrum allocation using Gaussian distribution for solving the RSA problem in spectrum sliced EON Patent Our invention is "a novel approach to solving the RSA problem in spectrum-sliced elastic optical networks." Elastic optical networks improve the flexibility and precision of bandwidth allocation, allowing for more efficient spectrum utilization. A novel Gaussian-based spectrum allocation technique solves the routing and spectrum issue (RSA) in spectrum-sliced elastic optical networks. The routing approaches used are balanced load spectrum allocation (BLSA) and shortest path spectrum reuse. The data show that using a Gaussian distribution to disperse the spectrum resulted in a lower risk of blocking. The algorithm's blockage likelihood is explored in 6- and 14-node NSFNET topologies with fixed traffic demands. The blocking probability for the suggested distributions is calculated and compared to the gold-t, first-fit, and exact-fit methods.

Title of the invention: GREEN ROOF SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED RAINWATER HARVESTING Patent The integration of green roof systems with rainwater harvesting represents an innovative approach to sustainable urban development, aiming to address both environmental and infrastructural challenges. Green roofs, characterized by the cultivation of vegetation on building rooftops, offer multiple ecological benefits, including improved air quality, enhanced biodiversity, and urban heat island effect mitigation. When combined with rainwater harvesting systems, these roofs can significantly contribute to water management by capturing and storing rainwater for non-potable uses such as irrigation, flushing toilets, and cooling systems. This synergistic integration not only reduces stormwater runoff, thereby alleviating urban flooding risks, but also lessens the burden on municipal water supply systems. The harvested rainwater can be filtered and stored in tanks or cisterns, ensuring a sustainable water source during dry periods and promoting water conservation. Moreover, the use of collected rainwater for irrigation supports the health and longevity of the green roof vegetation, creating a self-sustaining loop. Implementing such systems in urban areas can lead to substantial economic benefits by lowering energy costs through improved insulation and reducing water bills. Additionally, the combined system can enhance the aesthetic and recreational value of urban spaces, contributing to the overall well-being of city dwellers. Indian.pdf

Ordóñez de Pablos, & T. Aldosemani (Eds.), Fostering Teacher Skills and Critical Thinking in Modern Education (pp. 259-282). IGI Global Scientific Publishing (2025). Book Chapters The act of teaching is a difficult endeavor that necessitates the resolution of sophisticated challenges and issues that relate to a wide variety of aspects of learning and teaching. The problem- based learning (PBL) approach offers aspiring and certified teachers the opportunity to work together in small collaborative groups within the setting of generative contexts. They work together to assess problems, discuss potential solutions, and make well- informed judgments in order to find solutions to problems that are based on actual teaching settings that involve real- world obstacles with several facets. This corpus of work should be expanded to include research that is directed at teacher education because there has been an increase in the number of project- based learning (PBL) studies that have been implemented in classrooms. Educational reform is being implemented and both new and veteran teachers are being required to meet the expectations of a profession that is notoriously difficult.

OPTICAL FIBER-BASED GAS DETECTION SENSOR WITH ENHANCED SENSITIVITY AND SELECTIVITY Patent This invention relates to an advanced optical fiber-based gas detection sensor that significantly improves sensitivity and selectivity in detecting a wide range of gases. Utilizing a novel approach that incorporates a specialized coating applied to the optical fiber, the sensor operates by inducing measurable changes in the light properties (such as intensity, wavelength, or phase) transmitted through the fiber when exposed to specific gases. These changes are directly correlated with the concentration of the gases present, allowing for precise detection and quantification. The unique composition of the coating and the innovative fabrication techniques employed enhance the sensor's performance, making it superior to existing gas detection technologies in terms of accuracy, reliability, and operational efficiency. Designed to address the limitations of traditional gas sensors, this invention offers a valuable tool for environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and various other applications requiring gas detection and analysis.

Design and Development of MEMS Sensor for Industrial Health Monitoring- Prakruthi HL High-voltage breakdown, abrupt voltage variations, and partial discharge issues are common in industrial installations that use highvoltage direct current for power production, transmission, and control. When the aforementioned circumstances exist, a detectable electric field is generated nearby, reflecting the systems' current state of health. For safe and efficient operation under these circumstances, detecting the ambient electric field is a must. Despite the many approaches that have been offered for detecting electric fields, most of them are limited by issues including poor resolution, limited dynamic range, complicated design, slow reaction time, and vulnerability to interference. However, assuring optimum design with high resolution and cheap cost has remained a difficulty, even though piezoresistive materials and piezoelectric field-based Micro-electromechanical sensors (MEMS) have demonstrated substantially improved performance in linear-temperature stability and sensitivity. Most state-of-the-arts are developed for prospective assessments in the great outdoors, but these environments lack the clutter, interference, and noise that are common in industrial ecosystems. This research offers a MEMS-based electric field sensor that is operated by a piezoresistive spring suspension for use in industrial health monitoring. The suggested MEMS sensor has an ion-doped piezoresistive spring structure, a Single Crystal Si suspension electrode, and a SiO2 insulation beam. This technique makes advantage of the deflection in the suspension electrode brought about by the electrostatic force created at the fixed electrode to calculate the electric field in the area. Strain in the piezoresistive spring arrangement and body mass displacement are the results of providing a high voltage at the fixed electrode and grounding the suspension electrode (upward). The electric field in the area is calculated based on the magnitude of this displacement. The suggested MEMS sensor is small, easy to construct, and inexpensive since it is developed in the dimensions of 5 μm×1μm×5 μm. PRAKRUTHI_THESIS_18-10-23_(1)_(1)-205_(3).pdf
