Koushik Deb Patents — NLP, IoT Fire Safety & Smart Agriculture

📱

✅ Granted

A Device for Various Natural Language Processing Activities in Offline Mode with Optional User Interaction

Indian patent application 201931009037 · filed 2019 · Inventors: Koushik Deb, Abhinaba Basu

Problem addressed: Language AI mostly lives in the cloud: without a connection there is no intelligence, and every query leaves the device.
Technical approach: A single device performs text segmentation, topic and subtopic detection, summarisation and query-driven retrieval entirely on-device, accepting text, audio, video or images and returning results in whichever format the user asks for.
Potential applications: Rural and low-connectivity regions, travel, emergency response, and privacy-sensitive work where data must not leave the device.

Indian patent application 201931053496 · filed 2019 · Inventors: Koushik Deb

Problem addressed: In a building fire, detection is only half the problem — most casualties happen during the evacuation itself.
Technical approach: Temperature sensors, smoke detectors and thermal cameras report to a two-level control hierarchy. On a major fire the main control centre computes the safest route per floor, texts it to occupants and updates it as the fire spreads, while wall-mounted jets and a per-floor robot fight the blaze.
Potential applications: Commercial, government and residential buildings; anywhere static exit signage cannot adapt to where the fire actually is.

Indian patent application 202431013004 · filed 2024 · Inventors: Koushik Deb, Dr. Imon Mukherjee, Souvik Ghoshal, Debkanya Bose

Problem addressed: Pesticides kill pests along with pollinators and soil life, while resistance keeps rising and regulators keep withdrawing compounds.
Technical approach: A drone swarm coordinated by Particle Swarm Optimization patrols farmland; onboard cameras feed a Single Shot Multibox Detector that identifies the pest and judges threat level, and an onboard magnetron neutralises it with targeted electromagnetic pulses.
Potential applications: Smart agriculture and crop protection without chemical residue on the crop, soil or water table.
