MUMBAI, India, June 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641068084 A) filed by Aditya University; Aditya College Of Engineering And Technology A; Aditya College Of Pharmacy A; and Aditya Degree College on May 30, 2026, for Apparatus For Automated Anti-Fog And Rain Protection Of Vehicle Exterior Rearview Mirrors And Method Thereof.
Inventors include Dr. Kovvuri N Bhargavi; Dr. Dinakaran Sathis Kumar; Kapula Kalyani; Koyyuru Kranthi Kiran; and Dokiburra Beulah.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure proposes an apparatus (100) for automated anti-fog and rain protection of vehicle exterior rearview mirrors. The apparatus (100) comprises a front fixed frame (102), a locking assembly (108), a casing (116), a rain sensor (120), a humidity sensor (122), a controller (124), a heating element (126), an airflow channel (128), a linear motor (134), a screw shaft (136), a support block (140), and a drive motor (142). The rain sensor (120) and the humidity sensor (122) detect rain, fog, mist, and humidity conditions and transmit corresponding signals to the controller (124). Responsive to detected environmental conditions, the controller (124) activates the heating element (126), the drive motor (142), and the linear motor (134) for generating heated airflow across a mirror surface (10) for moisture-removal operation. The apparatus (100) enhances overall operational safety and efficiency compared to conventional mirror protection solutions.
