Latest Patents

Kulkarni’s listed patent, “Emission Detection Device with a Flow Profile Design That Improves Response Rate and Sensitivity,” describes a sensor with a converging shape, such as an ellipsoid. The design accelerates airflow from the entry toward the sensor’s narrowest region, following the principle described by Bernoulli’s equation.

A trapped volume within the sensor provides a space for detecting gas molecules. Placing the sensing element in the higher-velocity region can improve the exchange of molecules between the surrounding air and the space in front of the element. This approach is intended to support faster detection and sensitivity to lower gas concentrations. The device’s shape is also designed to converge airflow regardless of wind direction across 360 degrees. Kulkarni is credited with 1 patent.
