Innovations

SlowRedT is an innovation of Cape Peninsula University of Technology that involves a modified release delivery system of Rooibos extract (Aspalathus linearis) to be used as a nutraceutical or dietary supplement. This system delivers specific Rooibos polyphenolic constituents both immediately and

The Solar Tracker has been developed at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. It is an efficient mechanism for positioning a solar collector to track the sun. This device is adept to intermittent adjustment of the position of a solar energy collection surface, ensuring that the surface

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

Omega Caro-E Xtra combines Omega-3 fatty acids with 11 different carotenoids and five different forms of vitamin E, all derived from palm oil and manufactured by a patented process in Malaysia. In addition, it also contains 50% of the daily requirement for vitamin D. The concept was created and

The biological sand filtration system is a simple, cost-effective solution used to improve the quality of winery wastewater for reuse (e.g., for beneficial irrigation). The system can operate entirely off-grid using solar panels and gravity for energy. Microbial communities within the system degrade

The inverse Class-F power amplifier (PA) comprises an appropriately biased GaN active device, input matching network, and output wave-shaping and matching network. The novel design of the wave-shaping and output matching network ensures minimal overlap of the drain voltage and current waveforms, and

The versatile micro-nutrient supplement developed at CPUT can be used in a variety of products such as biscuits, baby cereal, porridge, etc. All the ingredients are bio-available and contain natural vitamin E, pro-vitamin A, and other carotenes. Biscuits baked with this pre-mix were used in an

Medical Male Circumcision Underwear (MMC) is a specially designed male underwear developed to aid the healing process after circumcision. The underwear keeps the penis in an upright position, preventing downward and outward blood flow from the wound. Penile injuries associated with circumcision are

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

The AIS Receiver is a compact Software Defined Radio (SDR) designed for CubeSat missions. It is compatible with the CubeSat standard and has a CubeSat Kit PC/104 form factor. The multichannel receiver operates in the maritime VHF band and can be used to receive AIS and LRAIS data. Spectrum can also

UHF/VHF Transceiver The UHF/VHF transceiver is a compact telemetry and command radio designed for CubeSat missions. It is compatible with the CubeSat standard and has a CubeSat Kit PC/104 form factor. The transceiver implements GMSK and AFSK modulation schemes with data rates of 9600 and 1200 baud
