MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611040975 A) filed by Galgotias University on March 31, 2026, for Design And Development Of An Intelligent Sensor For Real-Time Detection And Quantification Of Microplastics In Water.
Inventors include Ayush Kumar Singh; Shikhar Yadav; Ayush Chauhan; Priyanshu Sharma; and Atharv Rathi.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: The present invention discloses an intelligent sensor system for real-time detection and quantification of microplastics in water using acoustic sensing and machine learning techniques. The system employs an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver to capture acoustic signatures of particles, processes the signals using embedded algorithms, and classifies microplastics using a trained machine learning model. The invention further integrates IoT-based communication for real-time data transmission and monitoring. The system is low- cost, scalable, and capable of autonomous operation in aquatic environments, making it suitable for smart city applications, environmental monitoring, and water quality assessment.
