Awards for 2011 Innovations
A Novel Composition for Eco-benign Tanning
Dr. C. Muralidharan, Prof. A.B. Mandal, Shri V. John Sundar and Shri T.
Rangaswamy of CSIR - Central Leather Research Institute, Chennai have been
jointly awarded `5 Lakh (Rupees Five Lakh) for the development of “A Novel
Composition for Eco-benign Tanning”. The chrome tanning composition is
capable of eliminating salinity associated with tanning of hides and skins in
leather making. The technology not only eliminates salt usage but also enables
avoiding two process steps namely, pickling and basification of hides and skins
thus providing a much awaited path for greening of tanneries.
The tanning composition can easily be formulated by tanners using readily
available chemicals. The new composition helps reducing usage of tanning
agent by a minimum of 25% as compared to conventional tanning salt used in
leather processing. The novel tanning composition while changing century old
tanning process has added economic and environmental benefits to leather
making.
Medical Non-reusable Syringe
Dr. Baby Manoj P P of Micro Equipment Research and Development Systems
(MERADS), Kozhikode, Kerala has been awarded `5 Lakh (Rupees Five Lakh) for
the development of a "Medical Non-reusable Syringe." This single use safe
syringe termed as Peanut safe can be deactivated by the user after use, by
breaking off the needle connected with the syringe hub simply by pressing a
protective cap provided above the needle. The syringe is broken through a
circumferential groove around the needle connecting hub of the syringe, thus
disabiling its reuse. The innovation provides a much needed solution to diseases
transmitted by reuse of contaminated syringes.
Automatic, Continuous, Energy and Water Conserving, Hygienic Process for Manufacturing Improved Quality Jaggery
Shri Ashok Atre, Shri Sham Bhor, Shri Sopan Mate, Ms. Asmita Atre and Shri
Anand Atre of Transparent Energy Systems Private Limited, Pune have been
jointly awarded `3 Lakh (Rupees Three Lakh) for the development of
“Automatic, Continuous, Energy and Water Conserving, Hygienic Process for
Manufacturing Improved Quality Jaggery”.
The commercially feasible process is not only capable of achieving consistent
quality of chemical free jaggery, but also produces valuable revenue
generating products, Viz. distilled water of reusable quality and surplus
bagasse. The process is completely environment friendly, complying with all
soil, air and water pollution control norms and is efficient in terms of land and
fuel usage. The process provides technological up-gradation to rural cottage
industry and promises to boost rural economy through value addition to
agricultural produce.
Novel Technique For Enhancing the Pollution Flashover Strength of Ceramic Disc Insulators
Dr. Subba Reddy Basappa of High Voltage Lab, Department of Electrical
Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore has been awarded `3 Lakh
(Rupees Three Lakh) for the development of a “Novel Technique For Enhancing
the Pollution Flashover Strength of Ceramic Disc Insulators.” The innovation
aims to enhance the pollution flashover strength of the disc insulator's by
reducing the maximum surface field by employing the developed novel field
control elements/electrodes. It ensures an overall improvement of 15 to 20%
for all the types of disc insulators used in the country.
The suggested novel technique is very simple to implement and could be
employed either during the manufacture or retrofitting of the existing
insulator discs. This proven technique would be of immense benefit to the
society in particularly to the industries in addressing the power interruptions
regularly caused by contamination induced flashovers.
WIPO Gold Medal for Best Inventor of the Year 2011
Dr. Baby Manoj P. P. of Micro Equipment Research and Development
Systems (MERADS), Kozhikode, Kerala has also been awarded WIPO Gold
Medal for best inventor of the year 2011 for the development of a “Medical
Non-reusable Syringe.”
WIPO Gold Medal for Best Women Inventor of the Year 2011
Ms. Asmita Atre has also been awarded a WIPO Gold Medal for best woman
inventor of the year 2011 for the development of “Automatic, Continuous,
Energy and Water Conserving, Hygienic Process for Manufacturing
Improved Quality Jaggery.”
