About The Programme

Lockheed Martin Corporation, jointly with the

Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce 2

and Industry (FICCI) and the IC Institute at

the University of Texas at Austin launched the

India Innovation Growth Programme in March

2007 with the aim of accelerating innovative

Indian technologies in global markets and

bridging the existing gap between the mind

and the market. The programme received a

qualitative boost with the Department of

Science and Technology of the Government of

India and the Indo-US S&T Forum coming on

board to promote entrepreneurship in the

country from November 2009 onwards.

The IIGP has been constantly evolving since its

inception. New components have been added

to the programme process, including the

business development procedure, to make

the program more effective for innovators in

India. The IIGP process can be broadly divided

into three phases, comprising a total of nine

steps. The programme invites applicants from

across India through different means. They

undergo a first screening, in which subject 2

matter experts from the IC Institute of the

University of Texas and FICCI select 110

innovative technologies from a wide range of

sectors such as aeronautics, agriculture,

biotechnology, chemistry, communications,

c o m p u t i n g , d e f e n s e , e l e c t r o n i c s ,

environment, information technology,

manufacturing, marine, materials, medical /

life sciences, nanotechnology, petrochemical,

semiconductors and transportat ion.

Subsequently, technology validation is carried

out for each of the 110 shortlisted

technologies, which leads to the selection of

the top 50 innovative technologies. The

selected applicants are provided advanced

training in technology commercialization

strategies, venture formation, venture

finance, technology marketing, competitive

technical strategies and presentation skills by

experienced faculty members and experts

from the University of Texas through one

week extensive Entrepreneurship Workshop.

During the last phase of the programme, an

international panel of experts finally

announce 30 medal winners from the 50

selected technologies. Thereafter, these

medalists receive professional business 2

development assistance from FICCI and the IC

Institute of the University of Texas. After

joining the programme, Department of

Science and Technology has also begun

awarding cash reward of INR100,000 each for

the top 30 applicants. Business development 2

managers at FICCI and the IC Institute assist

programme winners in commercializing their

technological innovations by helping them

find suitable business partners in India as well

as in global markets.

Overview

2 Compendium of Selected Technologies: DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme (2007-12)

Detailed IIGP Process

Step 1: Inviting Applications

Step 2: First Screening

Applications are invited from across India

through advertisements in leading daily

newspapers, organizing pan-India road shows in

tier I & II cities, and making presentations to

potential technology companies, innovators,

knowledge centers, incubation centers, etc.

2A joint team from FICCI and the IC Institute

evaluates and scores all the applications received

to select the most appropriate technology

companies on the basis of a number of

predefined parameters (e.g., the development

and patent status of the innovation, funding

required for technology development, etc.). This

screening results in short listing of 110

applications. The screening process involves the

following:

An in-depth study is carried out for each

application form to understand the

technology, its benefits, its field of

application, commercial potential, etc.

Furthermore, an intellectual property

search is conducted to determine

whether it is possible to obtain patents

for the technology in the future to

augment its commercial value. To

support the innovators/applicants to

secure suitable IP protection for their

technologies, a primary assessment on

the patentability of their technologies is

conducted and recommendations are

shared with them to help them make

informed decisions on drafting and filing

patent applications.

The team course the applications through

an online scoring tools based on the

following parameters:

a. Development status

b. Intellectual property status

business partners in India as well as in global

markets. This is achieved through the

following process:

The business development managers

formulate a Business Development Plan

to prepare an elevator pitch for each

technology that is based on the details of

the customers' problems the technology

addresses, its competitive strengths and

the innovator's production capabilities, to

identify potential industry partners.

A detailed list of potential industry

partners, venture funding companies and

angel investors is compiled on a case-to-

case basis, based on the business model 2worked out by FICCI and the IC Institute

in agreement with the innovator.

This is followed by industry calls and

visits, and follow-ups with industry

partners to work out an appropriate

business model for the innovator and the

industry partner.

Business engagement agreements are

facilitated according to the terms and

conditions agreed on by the innovator

and the industry partner. A wide range of

support services are provided by FICCI 2and the IC institute to innovators, based

on their needs. Support provided to

various types of innovators include:

{For further details on deals and

agreements, please refer to the section

Two technology expos are organized every

year to provide a platform to innovators to

exhibit their innovations. Furthermore,

business engagement agreements signed

under the programme are showcased at

these expos.

Over the last six years, the DST-Lockheed

Martin India Innovation Growth Programme

has helped many Indian innovators take their

innovations to global markets. From a humble

beginning in 2007, when the programme

received 102 applications, to 2012, when the

number of applications increased to 819 the

hard work and commitment of the

programme partners is aptly reflected by the

popularity it has gained among India's

innovator fraternity. The Department of

Science and Technology and the Indo-US

Science and Technology Forum joined the

programme as partners in 2009, which added

significant value to it. The year 2011 saw an

increase in the number of applications by

more than 100% to 915 from 394 in 2010,

with the participants being from diverse

sectors including metals and mining,

agriculture and forestry, transport and

log i st i cs , env i ronmenta l and waste

management, etc. Considering the positive

response to the programme and its

commitment to rewarding innovation, the

programme partners increased the number of

annual awards from 15 to 30 from 2011

onwards. They have helped many of the

innovators to become successful techno-

entrepreneurs by converting their ideas into

economic products and processes. Several of

the innovators, who received funding or

forged industry partnerships as a part of their

business development activity under the

programme, have been successful in

expanding their operations and generating

substantial employment in the process.

In addition to the services it provides to

innovators, the programme also conducts the

GCG Executive Programme on Technology

Commercialization & Incubation, which

includes a series of lectures, exercises and

experiences that are designed to expose

senior officials, professors and incubator

managers to key topics pertaining to

entrepreneurship and incubat ion of

technology. The programme provides basic

and advanced international incubator

management tra in ing to around 15

professionals every year and has proved to be

a great success, providing significant learning

to incubators.

This report outlines the commercial success

achieved by the participating innovators and

how they have benefited from the DST-

problem. However, there are two deficiencies

with existing products. First they consume more

power and second they are expensive. This

device uses a low cost chip design technology

and consumes less power. The reason the

device is able to do so is because, the device

is specifically designed for transmitting low

frequency heart signals using a novel design

in a low cost chip design technology.

Anthem's proprietary genotox platform involves

a simple human cell based tool that provides

vital information that is critical to human health

care. The alarming increase in organ toxicity

following exposure to DNA-damaging agents

(Genotoxins) from several industries such as

cosmetics, textiles, food, chemical and

pharmaceutical industries warrants urgent

measures to detect and subsequently remove

these agents. Anthem has successfully designed,

established and validated a simple, high-

throughput-compatible Human cell based

genotox platform. Three well established sensors

of genotoxicity are coupled to simple

luminescent reporter genes such that the cell

would emit luminescence only when the cell is

exposed to a genotoxic chemical or stimuli.

Signals are then detected by a simple

luminometer. Overall, the screen can

drastically reduce time associated with

screening for genotoxins, reduce or

completely remove animal testing and

provide consistent data critical to human

health.

Key Facts

Technology Description

Adsorbent for used frying oil is an adsorbent

called Rampad for purification and re-use of used

edible oil. Edible oil properties change when the

oil is heated at high temperature for frying food

containing water. The changes could be found in

both physical and chemical properties of the oil.

One apparent change would be polymerization

causing high viscosity. In addition, oi l

characteristics especially flavour, odor and colour

also changes when oil is used for frying several

times. This directly affects food characteristics

and quality of the used frying oil. The technology

enables a two stage system for purification of the

used edible oil. The frying oil samples were

treated with the adsorbent Rampad which is a

binary blend of Rampad A and Rampad B.

According to the innovator, the adsorbent was

found to be an efficient regenerator and

improved the overall quality of the used oil.

Rampad A consists of five components, whereas

Rampad B consists of two components in a fixed

ratio. The mixture was evaluated for its efficiency

in regenerating the used oils in terms of their

effects on the physico-chemical parameters

such as density, viscosity, color, free fatty

acids (FFA), carbonyl value (CV), iodine value

and acid value.

The intellectual property right to this

technology is held by the innovator, Dr.

Padma S. Vankar. The patent for this

127 Compendium of Selected Technologies: DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme (2007-12)

are several methodologies of treatment available

in the market for asthma and bronchitis, most of

them provide only a temporary respite from the

ailments. Additionally, most of the alternative

medications available today are usually expensive

and are out of reach of large sections of the

population particularly in the third world

countries. In contrast, this new herbal drug claims

to cure asthma and bronchitis completely,

without causing any side effects.

Other medicines available for asthma induce

swelling of body, loss of appetite, decreased

Technology Description

Advanced oxidation process using photochemical

oxidation is a physio-chemical process to treat

contaminated water that contains toxic and non-

biodegradable pollutants. The process involves

oxidizing non-biodegradable toxic pollutants to

carbon dioxide and water. The technology has

proven capability to destroy majority of the non-

biodegradable organic pollutants, and bring down

the chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 80 - 95 % in

the treated waste water.

Existing biological treatment processes have failed

in treating non-biodegradable contamination,

which result in high levels of COD residue in

treated waste water. The new technology will be a

useful tool in protecting freshwater bodies like

rivers and lakes that are regularly contaminated by

industrial and other wastes. Unlike the biological

processes, this technology involves physio-

chemical principles, which enable effective

photochemical oxidation. Having characterized

several effluents generated from different

industries, photochemical oxidation has emerged

as a viable and efficient technology for elimination

of organics from water and wastewater streams.

Mr. T. Chandran and the company, Wytewater

Technologies, hold the IP rights for this technology,

patent for which is pending in India. The

technology has been developed on a lab scale and

has undergone pilot plant trials. Currently, the

technology faces competition from similar

technologies like evaporation and catalytic

converters that yield similar results. However, with

increased funding and research, this technology

may be developed for various specific areas of

application.

134 Compendium of Selected Technologies: DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme (2007-12)

Technology Description

Biological neutralization of alkaline waste water

is a biological process for the treatment of

alkaline water from textile industrial waste

water. Textile waste water is highly alkaline and

acid is used to neutralize the waste water to have

a neutral pH. The acid, when neutralized,

increases the load of total dissolved solids and is

unsafe for workers who neutralize the waste

water. To address the above mentioned

problems, this technology eliminates the use of

acid and exploits the use of bacteria for the

treatment of alkaline water, within the

permissible limits set by the Central Pollution

Control Board (CPCB), in lesser time. Since the

traditional approach involved in neutralization

includes chemicals, the new process is a

biotechnological endeavor to combat industrial

pollution, which ensures environmental

sustainability and worker's safety.

CSIR holds the intellectual property rights for this

technology. It has filed for patent protection in

India and the US, for which the approval is

pending in India and granted in the US. The

technology has been developed as a lab-scale

prototype and has been tested at two textile

waste waters at Nahar Fabrics (near Chandigarh)

and Himathsingka Linens (Bengaluru). CSIR has

received three prospective commercial deals for

this technology from one company based in the

US and two companies based in India.

Technology Description

BOD Biosensor is a device that provides a quick

estimation of biochemical oxygen demand

(BOD)/ pollution load of all kinds of waste water.

The technology is a biological product, which

serves as a specific seeding material to be used

especially in the BOD analysis of pulp and paper

waste water. The pulp and paper industry is a

major contributor to water pollution and

contains 'difficult to degrade' pollutants. This

technology employs specific bacteria, which is

capable of exerting an appropriate BOD for pulp

and paper industrial wastewater and sense

pollutants/ organic compounds present in such

waste water.

While other devices presently available take

nearly three days to determine the BOD of

waste water, the BOD Biosensor does the

same in two hours' time. By determining the

BOD in such a short time span, the device

helps in industrial authorities to monitor and

regulate the quality of waste water before

discharging it into water bodies. The

technology has been tested extensively on all

industrial effluents and has a validation from

Central Pollution Control Board of India. The

technology has been developed at the

Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology

(CSIR), and is IP protected in India, the US,

and South Africa.

Technology Description

BODBEADS is a technology developed at the

Institute of Genomics & Integrative Biology, a

Council of Scientific and Industrial Research

(CSIR), laboratory, to serve as a ready-to-use

reference seeding material in BOD analysis. The

technology offers a standard seeding mixture

that is not only clean, economical, and ready to

use, but also gives reproducible results every

time it is used for BOD testing.

BOD analysis conventionally involves collecting

sewage that contains microorganisms. However,

not every sample of sewage contains the same

number and types of microorganisms every time

it is collected. This results in erroneous BOD

results, which can not be reproduced.

Furthermore, the entire process of collecting the

sewage also delays the analysis process. In such a

case, the BODBEADS technology reduces

potential for error and makes the analysis an

easy, clean, and convenient lab test. The

technology will also ensure consistency in BOD

results at both the pollution control and

industrial ends. The BODBEADS technology is

capable of coping with a wide range of substrates

in synthetic samples as well as in industrial

effluents.

Although similar technologies of lower versions

exist in the US and the UK currently, the

BODBEADS technology, available in the form of

immobilized beads, is the improved version in

the global market. This is due to several of its

unique properties like reusability for five times

with the same efficacy and ability to yield results

instantly without the need to collect sewage

samples much before the analysis. A lower

version of the BODBEADS technology has

been accorded validation from Central

Pollution Control Board and has been

included in Bureau of Indian Standards.

11. Technology: Holographic solar concentrator modules for higher efficiency

solar energy conversion

Key Facts Innovator’s Name: Dr. P. T. Ajith Kumar

Primary Industry Application: Energy and Utilities

IP Ownership: None

IP Patent Protection Status: NA

Technology Development Status: Full-scale prototype

Technology Description

The technology involves developing holographic

solar modules for use in high efficiency solar

energy conversion. The technology comprises a

hologram with fringe structures, which diffract

light into a desired angle. Conventional solar cells

have an efficiency of about 15%. However, when

cool concentrated light is coupled with new

generation multijunction cells, the efficiency can

reach up to 40%. The present technology uses

two of the latest developments – high efficiency

multi-junction solar cells and high efficiency

holographic material that together yield

almost 100% diffraction efficiency.

Holographic optical elements (HOEs) have

advantages over the conventional refracting

type optical elements such as lenses and

mirrors as they offer multiple functions such

as light concentration and wavelength

selection. In the current technology, the

d e v e l o p e d h o l o g r a p h i c e l e m e n t

concentrates, spectrally splits, and directs

142 Compendium of Selected Technologies: DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme (2007-12)

light radiation so that energy is coupled

effectively to high efficiency multi-junction

solar cell. The HOE diffracts away the heat

radiation in the solar spectrum, allowing for

concentrated cool radiation to be tuned to

the spectral response of the multi-junction

cell, and yielding maximum efficiency.

The technology has a potential to double up

the yield of present day solar modules, with

no additional cost. Commercial production of

the proposed solar modules is expected to

improve the efficiency of solar energy

conversion by about two times. The enhanced

yield will help in popularizing solar energy use

and thereby helping in reducing carbon foot-

print. Potential primary customers of this

technology are households, small scale

industries, and governments.

proven to be very expensive. In this context,

the new device has the potential to

transform the vaccine/drug delivery market.

Furthermore, the new device is capable of

performing multiple jobs and is completely

homegrown with huge cost benefits.

Use of needle-less drug or vaccine delivery

system, if commercialized, has a potential to

reducing the aerodynamic drag force. The

technology finds specific use in enhancing the

performance of a wide range of space vehicles by

allowing them to traverse longer distance using

the same fuel. This new smart coating is a

passive technique, which does not consume any

energy during flight.

Other methods available in the market, including

spikes, jets, or concentrated energy ahead of the

space vehicle, consume huge energies and have

a lot of practical problems. In contrast, the smart

coating method allows for a novel aerodynamic

flow control, which enables utilizing a wider

range of missiles with the same fuel

consumption.

Company/Institution Website: www.ncl-india.org

Technology Description

The technology is a new titanium based gel

adsorbent and photo catalyst for the separation

of organic dyes from aqueous solution and its

further photo catalytic degradation using solar

light. The gel adsorbs the organic dyes from

aqueous solution and when exposed to solar

radiation, the adsorbed dye gets degraded. The

technology is especially helpful in the

removal of organic dyes and colored

materials from effluents originating from

textile and other industries that generate

colored aqueous effluent.

Alternative solutions present currently in the

market use adsorbents like activated

charcoal, which cause secondary pollution

168 Compendium of Selected Technologies: DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme (2007-12)

and need further treatment. In contrast, the

latest innovation enables an adsorbed dye to

be degraded by photo catalytic degradation,

which does not need further treatment. The

adsorption capacity of the latest technology

is much higher (nearly 20-30 times of its

we ight ) compared to convent iona l

adsorbents. Additionally, the new titanium

based gel adsorbent can be prepared at a low

cost at the site. The adsorbent leaves crystal

clear water that can be reused, once the

organic dyes are removed. The adsorbed dye

can be further photo catalytically degraded

and reused.

The technology has been developed as a lab-

scale prototype and has been tested on

industry effluents in both batch process as

well as continuous processes (5 liters). Semi

pilot scale experiments of the prototype were

(successful as claimed by the innovators), and

the industry is willing to undertake pilot plant

trials.

180 Compendium of Selected Technologies: DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme (2007-12)

Technology Description

The technology uses innovative approach to

convert the algae grown in ponds, lakes, oceans

and other water bodies into diesel fuel. In the

industrialized world where the demand for fuel

and energy is constantly resulting in depletion of

fossil fuel reserves, this technology is a notable

approach. Industries like automobiles, railways,

ships, industrial generators and furnaces can now

replace fossil fuels with the fuel derived from

algae.

Lakes and other water bodies are facing

environmental problem on account of growth of

algae and other biomass like water hyacinth. The

technology overcomes the dual menace of fuel

shortage and the contamination of water bodies

by algae. Moreover, the technology helps in

addressing the twin problems of shortage of clean

drinking water and expensive fuels. Algae grown

in lakes pollute the water even though algae is an

excellent de-pollutant for atmospheric emissions.

The importance of the technology is that the

water bodies can be used as sustainable sources

of fuel for the future. The greenhouse

emissions if routed through the water bodies

will increase the growth of algae and the

pollutants in the water from agricultural

fertilizers, biological wastes etc. The high

growth algae can then be used as a source for

generating fuel for energy. Thus, the

technology will act as a catalyst for growth of

rural economies through algae farms, as a

sustainable source of energy for the industry

and agriculture and there will be less

dependence on fossil fuels making even small

countries to achieve economies of scale that

will develop underdeveloped societies.

The primary customers of the technology will

be small enterprises, medium enterprises,

villages, individuals and companies doing aqua

farming for fish etc. The fuel can be sold to the

local industries, refineries, farmers etc. The

technology has already been tested and

demonstrated in Europe and India. The

company in India has a joint venture with a

European company and plans to develop the

algae based fuels for export and is keen to tie

182 Compendium of Selected Technologies: DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme (2007-12)

There are many companies in the market, which

promote various devices based on Ultra-Violet

Photocatalytic Oxidation (UV-PCO) coatings.

There exists a wide spread competition for the

concept but this technology has an advantage

over the existing technologies. All the UV-PCO

coatings require some kind of light, either Ultra-

Violet (UV) light or visible light, depending upon

the type of coating used. But the new innovation

works both in visible light and even in the absence

of light. This is because the coating uses nano

technology, a step beyond the photoactive Nano

TiO coatings. Therefore, the technology can be 2

used even in confined places or places where

there is no electricity available and hence no light.

On the other hand, the approach that uses light as

a source of energy cannot function in dark spaces.

Furthermore, the technology can be applied to all

substrates like metals, glass, paper, wood,

ceramics, plastic etc. making it readily acceptable.

Also, the technology uses a unique primer as

binder that gives it longer life.

Another advantage that this technology has over

other similar technologies is that it doesn't use

particulate filters, electrostatic precipitators,

chemical reagents, absorbants, zeolites, catalytic

converters etc. therefore reducing the subsequent

disposal problem. Also, the operating cost for the

technology is very low because the coatings are

non-consumable and does not require energy. For

example: in case of industrial chimneys, the

purpose of pollution control devices is to

convert the noxious emissions into harmless

gases when released into atmosphere. To

achieve this industries use chemical reagents

etc. while the new technology is a coating

inside the chimney which gets activated by the

ingredients in the chimney gases and

continues to convert the pollutants into oxides

which are not detrimental to atmosphere.

These can be used for transport of vehicles, equipments and personnel across the water obstacles and marshy grounds.

The steel sheet is a standalone product in the market as it uses the thermo mechanical controller processing (TMCP) approach that is not used by any other HSLA manufacturers. This is because of the presence of the micro-alloying elements in these steels which make it amenable to thermo mechanical processing. The product is expected to prove beneficial for the army and defense, mining & construction equipment manufacturing companies. Moreover, these sheets have greater resistance against atmospheric c o r r o s i o n , t o u g h n e s s a g a i n s t l o w temperatures, and can be welded easily.

Technology Description

Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is a concrete

material that contains fibrous material which

increases structural integrity. It is used in concrete

to provide strength, durability and ductility to the

structure. It was primarily innovated to be used in

construction business to improve strength of

beams that could facilitate extra load. Its usability

extends from earthquake prone regions to

rehabilitating a bridge. The technology was

innovated to be used when the beam wasn't able

to carry the desired load due to poor

workmanship. Furthermore, the technology helps

in rehabilitating a structure rather than

demolishing it and building a new one. Also,

the structures built using the FRC are more

durable and ductile than the one built without

it because of its corrosion free property.

Technology Description

Low cost grey and waste water recycling provides a process for the treatment of domestic grey water, effluent water, sewers and water bodies like lakes, wells, canals and contaminated water from rivers using a simple and economic technique to recycle and re-use water at the point of origin. This technology consists of specialty chemical treatment that recycles waste water at domestic level and converts the same to almost potable quality with minimum chemical and power usage. The treated water removes bacteria, turbidity, color and other contaminants, organic matter, oil and grease. After treatment, the water becomes clear and pure for reuse in domestic, horticulture or agricultural purposes. The system is capable of purifying industrial effluents to disposable quality and converts the water that is re-usable. The industrial water usage, thus, can be reduced as the industry will have the choice to clean its effluent water to re-usable quality. This method does not use expensive equipments and yet controls micro-organisms, which could be of help in terms of purification of contaminated rivers, wells etc. This technology is particularly suitable for high rise buildings, rural households, stagnant water

bodies and revival of the dead water bodies. The technology does not require expensive filters, pumps and other equipment and therefore, the cost of recycling is very low and affordable. The technology is undergoing field testing and is ready for commercialization.

234 Compendium of Selected Technologies: DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme (2007-12)

Technology Description

The pedal crank assembly facilitates an increase in

effective length of the crank arm. This helps to

produce almost double the torque generated by a

traditional pedal crank in a manually driven

vehicle under the same force. It amplifies the

power output under the same force using

mechanical advantage and therefore, saves

energy. Doubling of torque will give rise to

doubling of output by all manually driven

equipments from the existing level. This

technology can be fitted on a bicycle, rickshaw

and other equipment which are manually driven.

Higher torque can be used to increase the comfort

of driving, increase speed of the vehicle, increase

the amount of load that can be pulled by such

vehicle without any other change or any other

source of power. The increased torque will give

rise to many other possibilities such as vehicles for

several specialized purposes such as ambulance

and agricultural farming, particularly for rural

areas.

The intellectual property right for this

technology is held by the innovator, Mr. Manoj

Kumar Mondal and is protected by trade

secret law. The technology has been

Technology Description

The micronutrient fertilizers include water

inso luble , po lymer ic phosphate based

compounds of zinc, iron, manganese, copper,

molybdenum and boron that can be produced as

single nutrient as well as multi-nutrient materials.

These micronutrient fertilizers can be used in

agriculture. The fertilizers are designed to be

suitable for any soil, crop or agro-climatic

condition. The fertilizers provide highly effective

sources of micronutrients that increase crop

yields by 20%-40% with small applications, which

are one-fourth to one-tenth of the normal

dosages. They can substantially increase

productivity of crops such as cereals, pulses and

vegetables and thereby, improve economic

conditions of the farmers. For instance, as per the

test information provided by the company, the

fertilizers resulted in over 30% increase in the

production of rice, wheat and maize; 25% increase

in gram, 25% increase in cabbage and radish;

100% increase in chillies, 50% increase in spinach,

significantly higher nutrient levels in crops and

increase in vitamin C content. The micronutrients

can be combined with each other as well as with

other NPK fertilizers. Use of such slow-release

fe r t i l i ze rs co u l d d ra st i ca l l y c u t d ow n

micronutrient dosages, which are at present very

high because of low use-efficiency of the soluble

salts. This could also lead to more favorable

economic use of fertilizers and thereby encourage

micronutrient usage. This fertilizer could provide

an environment-friendly alternative to the

traditional approach.

semiconductor wafers is an optical technology

used to characterize silicon wafer substrates and

provides high-resolution surface topography,

used for inspection of wafer and highly polished

lens mirror surfaces. The technology is based on

the measurement of each pixel intensity values

of a successive reflected pattern as a sequence in

time (Time multiplexing) with successive

projection of different sets of patterns on to

the object of interest. Reflected pattern

image carries the information of surface

topography of the object in the form of

deformed image. The height variations of the

object cause phase difference of light and

hence the variation of intensity counts on

each pixel. The technology has been

developed as a concept.

Technology Description

Gold tracking using radio-frequency identification

(RFID) technology can be used to monitor and

track the movement of gold items within an

outlet. The conventional system uses bar codes

where each piece of gold is individually tagged

and scanned. The system takes a lot of time and

cannot be monitored or tracked for motion within

a shop unlike an RFID Gold Tracking System. Using

active RFID tags which send out a radio frequency

signal within a given range, the time required for

the tagging and scanning of gold items within an

outlet can be brought down significantly. Further,

this can help the retailers to make the system

within the outlet more secure and intelligent

thereby cutting costs and improving efficiency.

The gold tracking technology is based on I-

Motion platform which is a protected by US

patents. The IP of the product developed on I-

Technology Description

The technology revenue through advertisements

for the GSM enterprise (RAGe) is a method to

deliver mobile advertisements, and potentially

other information content, to mobile phone users,

by utilizing the dead-time between when a mobile

phone call is placed and when it is connected.

RAGe would utilize this brief dead-time to send

advertising or other content to the calling party

while the call is being connected across the

Mobile Service Provider's (MSP) network. When

the call is connected, the advertisement would be

broadcast to the calling party. In this way, a

revenue generating opportunity could be derived

from the previously un-used dead-time.

RAGe guarantees delivering the fastest return

o n o p e ra t o r s ' i n v e s t m e n t s t h r o u g h

advertisements. By using the connecting time

(minimum of 5 seconds), which is the time

taken for the actual connection to be

established between the caller and the receiver,

the RAGe technology utilizes this dead time to

advertise to consumers. The advertisements

would be initially voice, text and images, which

would mature to graphics with the transition of

technology to 3.5G when available.

RAGe is currently in development. Avishkaar

Techno Solutions Private Limited (Avishkaar) is
