MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511113777 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Nov. 19, 2025, for 'criss-cross timer-activated component retrieval and passage control system.'

Inventor(s) include Pankaj Sharma.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a timed component control system configured for precise, programmable control of material passage and storage. The system includes a criss-cross actuation mechanism designed to hold, pull out, or retract a component or gate, a timer unit configured to initiate action after a specified interval, and a control module configured to enable or disable passage based on the timer's output. The system enables time-based retrieval, locking, or release of components, allowing automated gating, containment, or exposure. The criss-cross actuation mechanism employs tensioned strings, rods, or sliding tracks that expand or contract along X and Y directions to achieve motion. This invention provides an adaptable, efficient, and reliable solution for controlled passage, storage, or timed operations in industrial, domestic, or laboratory applications."
