MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621023541 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Feb. 27, for 'system for determining moisture content in agricultural samples and method of operating the system.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Prof. O. P. Karada; Suvidha Mishra; Veerandra Prajapati; Aachal Yadav; and Akshat Pandya.
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 (100A) for determining moisture content in agricultural samples comprises a transparent drying chamber (102) configured to admit solar radiation, a load cell (104) mechanically supporting a perforated sample cup (106) positioned within the transparent drying chamber (102), and a hardware processor (108) operatively coupled to the load cell (104). The hardware processor (108) receives a first mass measurement from the load cell (104) upon loading of an agricultural sample, concurrently receives subsequent mass measurements at predetermined intervals during a thermal drying operation, determines a moisture content percentage in real-time or near real-time based on the first mass measurement and each subsequent mass measurement, determines a moisture reduction rate by calculating a derivative of the moisture content percentage over time, and generates a completion signal when the moisture reduction rate remains below a predetermined threshold for a predetermined duration to indicate completion of moisture determination through actual moisture removal."
