MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541121069 A) filed by Nandha Engineering College, Vaikkaalmedu, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 3, 2025, for 'a portable smart device for detection of invisible glass debris.'
Inventor(s) include M. Shanmugham; K. Kiruthika; A. Abinaya; and R. Abinayasri.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The portable smart device for detection of invisible glass debris is an innovative system developed to identify and locate small or transparent glass fragments that are invisible to the human eye. When glass materials break, tiny pieces scatter and pose a high risk of injury, especially in households, hospitals, and industrial environments. Traditional cleaning methods often fail to detect these minute fragments due to their transparent nature. [0016] To overcome this challenge, the proposed system uses advanced sensors, Al-based image processing, and light reflection analysis to detect the presence of small glass particles on the floor or any surface. The system captures live images through a camera module, which are then analyzed using machine learning algorithms that identify the unique reflective and refractive properties of glass. Once detected, the system immediately alerts the user through sound notifications or a mobile alert, enabling quick and safe removal. [0017] This invention significantly enhances safety, hygiene, and efficiency in areas prone to glass breakage. The project's objective is to minimize injuries, protect people, and introduce a smart solution for cleaning and maintenance operations. With its compact design and real-time response, the Minuet Glass Piece Detector can be effectively deployed in both domestic and commercial environments. [0018] Furthermore, this project highlights the potential of Al and sensor-based automation in ensuring human safety through intelligent detection systems. By integrating IoT capabilities, the device can store and transmit detection data to a connected application, allowing continuous monitoring and analysis. The system's versatility makes it suitable for applications in laboratories, restaurants, and manufacturing industries, making it a practical and innovative contribution to modem safety engineering."
