This technology provides a software solution that facilitates the rapid detection of viral particles in any electron micrograph. It utilizes a neural network approach to enable automated virus recognition. It is based on a convolutional neural network/machine-learning based image analysis tool, that

The Novel Peri-Intubation Containment Chamber (PICC) encompasses the principles of containment and extraction of virulent particles. It is a transparent sealed chamber, and its access ports allow rapid assembly in emergency situations. It further comprises disposable single-use gloves and a torso

A method has been developed by which cannabinoids are extracted from a waste wax that is formed during conventional extraction of cannabinoids from Cannabis plants. During medicinal cannabinoid extraction process, cannabinoids are extracted from the plant material into an alcohol phase, which can be

Stellenbosch’s solution is a 2-component injectable hydrogel designed to block the vas deferens, thus preventing the passage of sperm cells. Unlike a vasectomy, this hydrogel is reversible, restoring fertility. The hydrogel is formulated from two aqueous polymer solutions with complementary reactive

A novel bioreactor system that uses membranes to create a compartmentalised system whereby two or more species can be co-cultured without mixing of species, while ensuring rapid exchange of metabolites and proteins between compartments and shared medium composition. The system operates continuously

SoilTrac enables the monitoring,in real time, of soil respiration rates (microbial, microfauna and plant metabolic activity) and other physical parameters(temperature, soil moisture levels etc.) through the implementation of various sensors and cloud capabilities(Edge-to-Cloud Approach). The patent

The novel aspect of this patented technology lies in the specific combination of a functionalised nanocarrier ( A single-walled carbon nanotube with polyethylene glycol), targeting moiety (folic acid), and unique plant extract compounds (which and known for their medicinal properties and potential

Nanosene (Pty) Ltd‘s technology centres around the development of polymer tools tailored for membrane proteins (MP) drug target research. Unlike existing solutions, Nanosene’s polymers are optimised to isolate MPs, with the added benefit of customisation possibilities. This technology enables the

The CREDO (CartRidge Extractor DiagnOsis) Device is a device designed to safely and sterilely remove fluid remaining after assay completion from used cartridges (this used cartridge would otherwise be discarded). This fluid can be useful for downstream applications (these downstream tests could be

The technology integrates melatonin with bio-identical estrogen to counteract the pro tumorigenic effects associated with estrogen. The research conducted demonstrated that combining melatonin with estrogen diminishes estrogen’s proliferative impact on breast cancer cells and attenuates their

A computer implemented method, system or programme for combining a three-dimensional PET scan and a CT scan of a body into a combined image for segmentation, comprising of: Co-registering each of the PET scan and the CT scan as an input with reference to each other. Extracting metadata from the
