MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611058766 A) filed by Nims University Rajasthan, Jaipur on May 08, 2026, for System For Contaminant Detection.
Inventors include Babithesh Babu Nk; Dr. R. Sanjeevi; Dr. Sandeep Tripathi; Dr. Devesh Kumar Joshi; Dr. J. Anuradha; and B Gyani Priyanka Patnaik.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: An autonomous recharge-activated bioelectric sensor system (100) for real-time detection of groundwater contaminants is disclosed. The system comprises a hermetically sealed housing (101) enclosing an electronic processing core (106) configured to process bioelectric signals and execute contaminant detection algorithms including machine learning-based inference. A modular sensing head (102) includes micro-electrodes functionalized with a bioreceptor complex, a nanoporous membrane layer for selective analyte diffusion, and an anti-fouling nanomaterial coating to enhance stability. A signal transduction interface (103) converts bioelectric variations into digital signals, while a recharge-activated module (104) with an environmental energy harvester delivers electrochemical refresh pulses to restore sensing functionality. A wireless communication interface (105) enables remote data transmission. The system operates through cyclic sensing and regeneration phases for long-term autonomous monitoring. A corresponding method enables continuous contaminant detection with cyclic sensor regeneration in subsurface environments.
