MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621043797 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on April 6, for 'apparatus for cross-domain vehicle component degradation detection.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Prashant Jain; Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Prof. Praveen Kumar Gautam; Prof. Lokendra Vishwakarma; Dr. Shekh Kulsum Almas; Dhruv Soni; Anurag Sagar; and Namrata Solanki.

The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to cross-domain vehicle component degradation detection. The apparatus 102 includes a vibration sensor 104 coupled to a vehicle engine block via a torque-reaction mounting fixture 106, and an oil quality sensor 108 positioned within a turbulent-flow mixing chamber 110 integrated into an engine oil return gallery. A controller 112 acquires vibration acceleration data, crankshaft rotational speed data, oil dielectric data from the oil quality sensor 108, and oil temperature data. The controller 112 performs harmonic decomposition of the vibration acceleration data synchronized to crankshaft rotational speed data to determine first deviation value, and applies temperature compensation function to the oil dielectric data to determine second deviation value. A component degradation alert signal is generated upon concurrent exceedance of the first deviation value beyond first threshold and the second deviation value beyond a second threshold, indicating vehicle component degradation across vibration and oil quality domains."
