This technology introduces a diagnostic method and kit that detects inflammatory diseases by measuring fibrin amyloid microclots (FAM) and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) found in patient blood. These two components often bind together to form microclot-associated NETs (MiNETs), which are

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

Fluorobiotech’s technology drastically decreases the amount of time spent recovering target proteins from producer cells. Reducing the extraction time from 1 hour’s hard labour with multiple steps to an effortless one-step process that can take less than 15 minutes. This allows for parallel

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

Removable containers placed into the appliance base are lit up and dispensed when selected by the mobile app. Automotive MOSFETS control pulsing solenoid actuators which dispense set volumes with each pulse using one-hot encoded input/output command protocol. Intentional design of the circuit and

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

This technology uses Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) fitted with a camera to calibrate heliostats in large Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) or Concentrating Solar Thermal (CST) tower systems. The UAV does not have a single fixed position and provides several advantages over traditional methods using

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
