A scalable pneumatic cushion features an array of pressure-controlled air cells, each equipped with a pressure sensor for closed-loop control. This allows for precise regulation of pressure in high-risk areas, promoting blood flow and reducing localized pressure. The system uses a microcontroller to

The technology comprises an integrated passive acoustic monitoring system capable of long-term monitoring, capturing high-quality, distinctive sonar sounds from aquatic environments. The acoustic monitoring system, incorporating a hydrophone, a micro-processing board and a mechanical release system

The process consists of two continuous stages carried out under inert, vacuum conditions. In the first stage, cold feedstock is fed into a preheating vacuum oven for ex-situ desulphurization. It is heated to a controlled temperature for a set time to break sulphur–sulphur and sulphur–carbon bonds

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

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 humanoid robotics development company technology provides a modular humanoid robotic system designed for use in manufacturing, research, education, healthcare, hospitality, security and surveillance. The modular design makes the humanoid robot easily upgradeable and customisable for various

The device is a user-guided robot which holds and maneuvers a laparoscope, to assist surgeons in minimal access surgery. It can maneuver the laparoscope with five degrees of freedom, namely pitch, yaw, translation, image rotation, and roll of the telescope.

The flotation device is an engineered support system designed to protect mobile structures from flood-related damage. Mobile structures such as temporary housing units, construction site offices, or warehouse equipment are highly vulnerable in flood-prone areas. This technology addresses that

Current Proton Exchange Membranes (PEMs), especially Nafion, are costly and produced mainly by a single international supplier (DuPont/Chemours). This monopoly escalates the cost of fuel cells and electrolyzers and limits local manufacturing capacity in South Africa. Because PEMs are the major

South Africa's manufacturing sector, particularly in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and electronics, requires high-precision measurement tools. The proposed Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) addresses this need by offering enhanced accuracy and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional
