MUMBAI, India, Sept. 28 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641111263 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology on September 14, 2026, for Blockage-Responsive Passive Hydraulic Routing Module For Modular Flood-Management Infrastructure.
Inventors include Senthil Kumaran; Kalaiarasi Ng; Dhurga J; and Santha Seelan J S.
The application for the patent was published on September 25, 2026, under issue no. 39/2026.
Abstract: ABSTRACT BLOCKAGE-RESPONSIVE PASSIVE HYDRAULIC ROUTING MODULE FOR MODULAR FLOOD-MANAGEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE The present disclosure provides a modular flood-management hydraulic arrangement having a primary hydraulic passage (120) conveying water from an inlet (110) toward a primary-path outlet (170). The improvement comprises a restriction region (130) configured to experience increased hydraulic resistance when blockage develops, a head chamber (140) receiving a differential hydraulic-head condition, a passive trigger mechanism (150) displaced by the differential hydraulic-head condition without electronic sensing or powered actuation, and an alternate hydraulic passage (160) having an effective flow area varying as a function of trigger displacement so that water is redistributed when the trigger is displaced.
