MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611001996 A) filed by Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, on Jan. 8, for 'self-cleaning seed counting tube system.'
Inventor(s) include Sourik Sarkar; and Mohammad Amir.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a self-cleaning seed counting tube system (100) comprising a vertical fall tube (102), a laser-grating optical sensor (104), a vision camera (106) imaging through a transparent anti-static window (108), a pulsed air-knife (110) for maintaining optical clarity, and a compressed-air reject nozzle (114) ejecting non-conforming seeds into a sealed, acoustically damped reject tunnel (116). An ARM-based controller (112) fuses optical and vision data, predicts time-to-nozzle with latency compensation, enforces single-object gating, and adaptively tunes jet pressure and pulse width by seed class. The system (100) enables continuous, high-speed seed counting and selective rejection, improves uptime, reduces false rejects, and integrates with upstream feeders and downstream packaging units."
