        abstract = {Ironing is an essential household task, yet it 
poses significant safety risks when an iron box is left 
unattended while powered. According to the National 
Fire Protection Association (2023), unattended iron 
boxes contribute to numerous domestic fire incidents 
annually. This project introduces a novel safety 
mechanism that integrates an accelerometer and servo 
motor to detect idle states, automatically raise the iron 
box, and disconnect power, thereby mitigating risks of 
burns and fires. The proposed system leverages 
advancements in sensor technology and automation to 
ad- dress the limitations of traditional iron boxes, which 
often lack intelligent safety features. By incorporating 
precise motion detection and mechanical actuation, the 
system ensures both power disconnection and physical 
separation of the iron from the fabric, enhancing user 
safety.},
