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

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

Planktonic or free-living microbes naturally adhere to the sensing surface of the BioTrac system. These biofilms are representative of the physical biofouling that occurs on surfaces in the test environment. The microbes produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a byproduct of metabolic activity. The rate of

The technology relates to a process for obtaining protein from Black Soldier Fly larvae (insects/worms). The process extracts protein from Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), separates the protein from undesired lipids and chitin and upgrades the protein to a consumer-acceptable grade, ultimately

The technology helps the fresh produce industry prosper by being more competitive. By improving the packaging component, the technology assists: Growers & Exporters be more competitive & sustainable thus to sell more product at better prices; Shipping companies to be more competitive, by using less

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
