MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621023368 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Feb. 27, for 'system and method for automated segregation of biomedical waste.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Dr. Sandeep Kumar Verma; Prof. Praveen Kumar Gautam; Ajay Chouhan; and Nayan T.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A system (100) for automated segregation of biomedical waste is disclosed. The system (100) comprises a plurality of waste receptacle bins (102), each bin (102) including conductive electrode strips (104) formed from conductive paint on an interior surface. A capacitive touch sensing controller (106) is electrically coupled to the conductive electrode strips (104), and a hardware processor (108) is operatively coupled to the capacitive touch sensing controller (106). The hardware processor (108) receives capacitance measurement data and detects a waste deposit event when a measured capacitance value on at least one conductive electrode strip (104) exceeds a predetermined threshold relative to a baseline value for a predetermined duration. The hardware processor (108) identifies the corresponding waste receptacle bin (102) and generates an activation signal, and communicates the activation signal to a light-emitting diode (110) associated with the identified bin (102) to provide visual confirmation of successful waste deposit."
