BACKGROUND
[2] Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the
information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed
invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[3] Oxygen is most important for survival of a human being. Any
fluctuation in oxygen levels in body, can lead to various critical illnesses and also, at times, death.
[4] In the recent past, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic,
multiple challenges were faced due to the situation. Many patients suffered with
deteriorating oxygen levels. There have been deaths as procuring required quantity
of oxygen cylinders had become a challenge. Moreover, transportation of these
oxygen cylinders to the required destination, in time, was a problem.
[5] There are many traditional ways of commercially manufacturing
oxygen, such as a cryogenic distillation process or a vacuum swing absorption process and so on. These oxygen manufacturing plants are expensive to set up and also require space.
[6] Hence there is a requirement in art to develop a convenient, eco-
friendly, cost-effective, in-house system to produce and supply oxygen in hospitals.

[7] The general object of the present disclosure is to provide a system to
produce and supply oxygen inside the hospitals.
[8] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a method to
produce the amount of oxygen required by the patients in the hospitals.

and automated method to produce oxygen in the hospitals, to avoid transportation
problems.
[10] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a method to
supply oxygen to the patients in an automated and simpler manner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[23] The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the
disclosure depicted in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments are in such detail as to clearly communicate the disclosure. However, the amount of detail offered is not intended to limit the anticipated variations of embodiments; on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims. The present enclosure relates, in general, of a system to produce and supply oxygen in hospitals. In particular, the present system relates to producing oxygen using oxygen producing plants, in the hospital and supplying to patients as required.
[24] FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary representation of a system to produce
and supply oxygen, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[25] As illustrated in an aspect, the system may include a plurality of
chambers (127/a, 127/b.. 127/n), containing water and oxygen producing plants. An
oxygen cylinder 101 maybe connected to these chambers, through first pipeline
107. The system may also include one or more first sensors operatively coupled to
the Oxygen cylinder 109a, configured to measure O2 accumulated in the O2 cylinder
and an oxygen pipeline coupled to the oxygen cylinder 101, having outlet, each
outlet pipe connected to a respective patient bed. Each outlet pipe may be
operatively coupled to a first regulatory device 111. The first regulatory device 111
may be used to regulate flow of oxygen to the patient based on the extracted set of
attributes and sensed amount of oxygen in each said outlet pipe.
[26] The system may also contain a carbon di oxide (CO2) cylinder 115,
operatively coupled to a second regulatory device 117, connected to the plurality of chambers (127/a, 127/b.. 127/n), through second pipeline 113. The plurality of chambers (127/a, 127/b.. 127/n) maybe exposed to a high intensity light 125, powered by a power outlet 123.
[27] The system may also include, sensory devices (109a, 109bi, 109b2,
...109bn), operatively coupled to the oxygen cylinder 101 and the plurality of chambers (127/a, 127/b.. 127/n).

[28] In another embodiment, carbon di oxide (CO2) from CO2 cylinder
115, can be supplied through the second pipeline 113, to one or more chambers
(103/1, 103/b..l03/n), containing a mixture of oxygen producing plants such as
algae, and water (127/a, 127/b..l27/n).
[29] In another embodiment, highly intense artificial light 125, projected
on one or more chambers (103/A, 103/B..103/n) , containing a mixture of oxygen
producing plants such as algae, and water (127/a, 127/b..l27/n), along with the
supplied CO2, can lead to the oxygen producing plant, such as algae but not limited
to algae to undergo photosynthesis.
[30] In a way of example and not as a limitation, the oxygen producing
plants, such as algae but not limited to algae, undergoing photosynthesis, produces
biomass and oxygen. Due to its high density, biomass can be accumulated at the
bottom of each of the chambers (103/A, 103/B..103/n), whereas oxygen due to its
lightweight, accumulates at the top of the chambers (103/A, 103/B..103/n)
[31] In another embodiment, two or more tap locks (121/a, 121/b),
located at the top and bottom of each of the chambers (127/a, 127/b..l27/n), the
bottom tap lock can be used to remove the accumulated biomass. The tap lock at
the top of the chambers (127/a, 127/b..l27/n) can be used to add water and oxygen
producing plant such as algae.
[32] In another embodiment, the ongoing photosynthesis process,
increases the pressure of oxygen, accumulated in the chambers (127/a,
127/b.. 127/n), on the top, which helps the oxygen to flow in to the oxygen cylinder
101, through the first pipeline 107.
[33] In another embodiment, sensory devices (109a and 109bi,
109b2... 109bn) respectively, enabled by Internet of Things (IOT), helps identify the
amount of Oxygen, in the oxygen cylinder 101 and amount of the carbon di oxide
in each of the one or more chambers (127/a, 127/b.. 127/n).
[34] In another embodiment, a regulatory device 117, automated by
Internet of Things (IOT), helps regulate the flow of CO2, from the CO2 cylinder 115.
[35] In another embodiment, the oxygen from the oxygen cylinder 101
can be further supplied to patients individually, through pipelines wherein the

oxygen flow to each patient can be controlled by regulatory device 111, at the patient's bed, based on their requirement.
[36] FIG. 2 illustrates exemplary functional modules of a sensory device
control unit in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[37] As illustrated, the sensory device processing unit can include one or
more processor(s) 202. The one or more processor(s) 202 can be implemented as
one or more microprocessors, microcomputers, microcontrollers, digital signal
processors, central processing units, logic circuitries, and/or any devices that
manipulate data based on operational instructions. Among other capabilities, the
one or more processor(s) 202 are configured to fetch and execute computer-
readable instructions stored in a memory 204 of the control unit 102. The memory
204 can store one or more computer-readable instructions or routines, which may
be fetched and executed to create or share the data units over a network service.
[38] The sensory control unit 109 can also include an interface(s) 206.
The interface(s) 206 may include a variety of interfaces, for example, interfaces for
data input and output devices, referred to as I/O devices, storage devices,
transducers, actuators, and the like. The interface(s) 206 can facilitate
communication of the control unit 109 with various devices coupled to the control
unit 109. The interface(s) 206 can also provide a communication pathway for one
or more components of the sensory control unit 109. Examples of such components
include, but are not limited to, processing engine(s) 208 and database 210.
[39] The processing engine (s) 208, may include a data acquisition unit
212, to receive information about a patient. An extraction unit (218) to extract a set of attributes based on the received patient information, the set of attributes pertaining to an amount of oxygen required by the patient. A calculation unit (214) may sense an amount of oxygen present in each outlet pipe and regulate a flow of oxygen to the patient based on the extracted set of attributes and sensed amount of oxygen in each outlet pipe.
[40] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the
invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by

the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
