MaskMonitor is a software application developed at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology to detect human faces as they pass a camera with the purpose of determining whether they are wearing a mask properly or not. MaskMonitor uses Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms to

In a COVID-context there is a necessity for social distancing. Consequently, managers of public spaces or institutions may be tasked with the enforcement or monitoring of this requirement. A result is that the real-time tracking of pedestrian movement in public spaces has become a growing reality

S-Band Transmitter Product Range: STX and HSTX The S-band transmitter product range includes the STX and HSTX (high-speed STX), designed to meet the needs of CubeSat developers requiring data transmission from space to Earth. The STX supports data rates between 500 kbps and 2 Mbps, while the HSTX

Biofiltration is the filtration of contaminated water using organic material to capture and biologically degrade contaminants. A biofilter comprises inorganic or organic filtering media such as rock, slag, sand, glass beads, peat or wood chips on which a biofilm develops when wastewater flows over

The Vapour-Based Passive Multistage Solar Desalination System offers a sustainable and efficient solution for desalinating water using solar energy. The system is designed to operate off-grid, utilizing solar heat to drive the desalination process, making it ideal for remote areas where access to

The Cleancolytic Reactor System developed at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology is a one-step waste water treatment system consisting of highly reactive nanoparticles immobilized in a specialised reactor system for the purpose of treating industrial wastewater. The system utilizes a

Surfactants are amphipathic molecules with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties that partition preferentially at the interface between fluid phases, such as oil/water or air/water interfaces. Such characteristics confer excellent detergency, emulsifying, foaming, and dispersing traits, which
