MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611068507 A) filed by Chandigarh University on June 01, 2026, for Intelligent Shape-Memory Alloy Blinds System With Automatic Light-Heat Adjustment.
Inventors include Ayush Mahanta; Manav Jain; and Prabhdeep Singh.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an intelligent shape-memory alloy blinds system that employs Shape Memory Alloy (Nitinol) wires to actuate slats quietly, smoothly, and efficiently without relying on mechanical motors or gears. Each slat is embedded with an off-centered Nitinol wire that contracts under controlled heating, producing rotational torque which is then distributed uniformly across all slats by the torsion synchronization rod. The system integrates an LDR sensor to detect sunlight intensity, while a thermistor and ESP32 microcontroller regulate the SMA temperature through Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), creating a closed-loop control mechanism. Users can operate the blinds automatically in response to sunlight or override the system manually via push button or remotely through Wi-Fi. A dual power arrangement, consisting of a DC adapter and a solar-powered lithium-ion battery, ensures continuous operation.
