Floatation Device is a system that acts as an anchor and elevator for equipment, shacks and mobile houses that would otherwise be affected by flooding. During the rainy season, the Floatation Device elevates the items away above the stormwater and provides stability to secure items from damage or

The technology relates to an application that allows the efficient delivery of groceries ordered online by using a car lift service from general road drivers. Unlike existing delivery applications, this platform does increase the reliance on dedicated delivery vehicles but makes use of a network of

The technology relates to a new generation of telecommunications and data processing technology with improved wavelength sensitivity in the visible and near-infrared wavelengths range rather than microwave communication in 2–4 GHz. The technology provides the realisation of optical sources (LEDs)

A mobile application to facilitate the efficient delivery of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) which are dependent on a multi-embedded supply chain coordination for the distribution of malaria drugs. The distribution of these is hampered by a lack of coordination among stakeholders

Improved Alkaline-Activated Slag Composition: Green Mortar Solution The invention relates to the development of both an improved alkaline-activated slag (AAS) composition as well as a dry mixed ready-to-use alkaline-activated slag (AAS) composition. The ready-to-use AAS can be pre-packed into bags

The invention The invention uses plastic waste and Waste Foundry Sand (WFS) to produce building and construction material with a density of between 1700 and 1750 kg/m 3 . The plastic is melted and WFS is used to produce a paste for the moulding of building material. Problem solved Plastics are vital

An engineer at Nelson Mandela University has developed a secure storage trolley for tablet computers. The storage also has a charging component which allows for them to be charged while safely stored.

PhenoLAB is an online web-based analyses platform and database for wine producers. PhenoLAB incorporates highly accurate, extensive and robust analyses methods based on absorbency values for determining tannins, colour density, anthocyanins and total phenolics levels in grapes, fermenting must and

In its current state, the software produces the key technical feasibility metrics and graphs, which help the user answer the questions of requirements and viability for a fleet. Although the software is free and open-source, it is a terminal/command-line application which requires technical IT

The Stellenbosch Endometriosis Quality of Life measure is a questionnaire that has 25 questions and covers 8 different dimensions. Comprehensive Assessment: The 8 critical dimensions assessed by SEQOL, include psychological well-being, vitality, and sexual and reproductive functioning. Patient

The antimicrobial solution consists of a novel polymer featuring quaternary ammonium groups that provide consistent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial action. When applied to various substrates, such as textiles and construction materials, the polymer bonds covalently, creating a stable, long-lasting

SiMo Green Eco bricks and blocks is an idea that come about when it became clear that the world is heading in a direction of a greener economy. The making of bricks and blocks involves the use of raw materials that when extracted have a substantial burden on the contribution to Global warming. As a
