    Hull capacitance: the unconventional green fuelling technology harnessing plug power navigate concept for inland waterways navigation
    (SNAME Maritime Convention 2014, 2014-10) Shantanu; Sharma, Garima; Shukla, Kanishk Agyay; Bhaskar, Vidyut
    With the huge increase in global liquid fuels usage, an alarming situation has risen to develop and adopt alternative green technology to mitigate global warming attributable to high pollutant emission. Transportation sector, being one of the major fuel and energy consumers, effective substitution is required for Inland waterways over land and rail transport. This paper focuses on the development of a ‘Plug Power Navigate’ concept to bring out an infrastructure to utilize the offshore wind and solar platform generated electricity for Inland Vessels navigation. Solar energy, available wind etc. can massively save fuel and keep environment pollution free. Technology like Wind and Solar resource assessment, wind energy installations, have been studied in this paper based on the climatic and technological sophistications. One of the major technological sophistications include, storage of this energy on board as Hull Capacitance. To harness the concept of Plug Power Navigate with the above mentioned technological sophistications, the vessel has been modified to accomodate the power storage facility on the principles of Hull Capacitance. It is based on the acquisition of power by means of an external source and its storage within the hull frame work, which can then be utilised later, for the purpose of navigation. The structural frame work is modified in compliance with the safety norms. Care has been taken to make minimal modifications to the hull structure from both safety and operation point of view, keeping the operation perspective unhindered. The inception of greener technologies in the shipping strata can be boosted by the tapping of renewable sources of energy along with the inclusion of power storage sophistications, and this debut in the maritime sphere can act as Pole Star for future research and exploration of various technologies in this direction bringing out an innovative set up for the Inland Water Transport worldwide.

    IPR in India: strategies and challengies for digital content
    (National Law University, Delhi Press, 2014) Mishra, Anil Kumar
    Copyright infringement is a problem closely tied to technology. In most ways this is quite obvious. Since much of the copyright law was written with pre-digital technology in mind, artifacts of these assumptions continue in the law despite attempts to modernize it. This paper looks particularly at the relationship between technology and copyright enforcement and begins with the three key technology factors that matter to rights holders who want to earn money from their creative works: copying technology, distribution technology, and sales technology [8]. This paper covers the traditional intellectual property rights (IPR) laws and associated concepts from printed to digital works, and discusses how the characteristics of digital replication pose problems for traditional IPR systems. It provides some insight into the Indian software industry by discussing the scope of Indian copyright law, the rights of owner, infringement, penalties etc. Also the paper discuses the distinction between “public” infringers who make works available to others, either for free or for profit, and “private” infringers who are making a personal copy. The copyright law in most countries allows copying for private use, which makes most private infringement legal.
