ISRO patent for Artificial Moon Soil

ISRO Patent for Artificial Moon Soil:
ISRO aka Indian Space Research Organization has recently granted a patent for Artificial Moon Soil in India. The patent was applied way back in 2014 and after a long prosecution, the patent was approved on 18th May 2020. The organization was seeking this patent for a long time for research purposes.
The title of the patent is “method of manufacturing artificial moon”. The patent was acquired by ISRO to test their outer space rovers such as Vikram Lander and Pragyaan Rover as part of their mission Chandrayaan-2. Since there is a difference in the surface and soil properties, scientists need an environment similar to the moon for testing their machines to ensure a safe landing. After taking consideration from many geologists ISRO finally decided to pick rocks called “anorthosite” found in the Kunnamalai village of Tamil Nadu which said to have similar properties of moon soil.

Ford’s In-Vehicle Drone Patent For For Emergency Situations

As Drones are turning out to be increasingly more typical in our everyday life, increasingly more tech organizations are utilizing them for various endeavors. From delivery Drones to home security. Just as the automotive company Ford, as one of their Patents came up for a vehicle with a programmable Drone. The reason for this drone stored in the storage compartment of the vehicle is to use for extreme circumstances, for example, auto accident, or breakdown.

The Drone is programmed to launch out of the vehicle if there’s an occurrence of a crisis and sign the close-by vehicles about the crash just by glimmering lights and a siren. The device has an auto mode as well as a manual mode by which the user could control the Drone from the vehicle itself. The other two additional highlights are a security mode by which the drone patrols the vehicle from any conceivable risk and a follow mode where the drone follows and takes the video of the vehicle.
