MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641085388 A) filed by Pinni Srinivasa Varma; Pathlavath Lucky Ram; and Dr. Mohammed Ali Hussain on July 13, 2026, for Universal Safety Device (usd) For Maritime Emergency Detection And Global Satellite Alerting.
Inventors include Pathlavath Lucky Ram; and Dr. Mohammed Ali Hussain.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: A wearable maritime safety device (USD) is disclosed, comprising a moisture-resistant PEEK-ceramic polymer housing designed for ergonomic waistband integration. The device utilizes an STM32WLE5 System-on-Chip (SoC) operating on a hardware-enforced 5- minute deep-sleep and 1-minute active transmission duty cycle, ensuring 72-hour autonomous operation. A multi-modal sensing assembly, featuring an ADXL362 accelerometer and saltwater continuity electrodes, employs a data fusion algorithm to trigger distress sequences only upon simultaneous detection of high-impact motion and 20-second continuous water submersion. The device features an autonomous fail-over communication architecture, prioritizing local LoRa transmission and seamlessly switching to Iridium satellite communication via QPSK/TDMA modulation if an acknowledgment signal is not received. This dual-network redundancy and sensor-driven alert logic provide a robust, non-intrusive safety solution for maritime personnel, ensuring reliable data delivery across all global operational environments.
