MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133435 A) filed by Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'a hardware-enforced modular embedded safety apparatus for real-time human hazard mitigation.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. M. Thangamani; V. Govarthan; and B. Dinesh.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A hardware-enforced modular embedded safety apparatus tor real-time human hazard mitigation is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a safety backplane configured to accept multiple removable sensor interface modules supporting heterogeneous sensor modalities, including proximity, distance, imaging, inertial, and environmental sensors. Each sensor module conditions and normalizes raw sensor signals into hazard-relevant features that are processed through a sensor fusion block and an embedded processing core. Safety-rated hardware-level adaptive response circuitry evaluates fused sensor data against predefined hazard zones and risk thresho Ids using deterministic logic and state machines independent of non-safety software execution. Based on assessed hazard severity, graded mitigation commands are generated and delivered through a redundant actuator interface to associated actuators, enabling warnings, reduced-speed operation, controlled stops, or emergency shutdowns with bounded latency. The apparatus supports secure configuration, self-diagnostics, and fail-safe operation, ensuring compliance with functional safety standards while enabling flexible retrofitting and deployment across industrial, commercial, and domestic environments for reliable human protection around hazardous equipment."
