MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541078021 A) filed by Vikaash Kumar S M, Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, on Aug. 17, 2025, for 'smart nanocomposite protective gadget with anintelligent multisensor device for detecting the hazardous events in mining industry.'
Inventor(s) include Vikaash Kumar S M.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This project consists of two modules one on the helmet and the other on the control room. Helmet switch sensor (Push button), accelerometer sensor, air quality sensor and IR (Infrared) sensor, Temperature sensor and nano composite PCM (Phase changing material) are attached with the helmet module. Helmet switch sensor detects whether the helmet is on the miner's head or not. An accelerometer sensor is used to determine the acceleration of the head and it identifies the position of the helmet. For avoiding collision an IR sensor is used. It detects the obstacles. If there is any hazardous event is detected such as the person removes the helmet, the air quality of the surrounding is poisonous, object detection there is alarm system which get triggered and notification is sent to concern department of the control room with the help of blynk app. Oxygen supplement is provided within the helmet to avoid the inhalation of poisonous gases by the opening of solenoid valve. Temperature sensor measures the temperature of the coal mine. Nano composite PCM is provided inside the helmet to protect the body from heat and fire. All the systems are monitored and controlled by IOT (internet of things) technology."
