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

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

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

Solar HVAC Live: Reducing Energy Demand for Big Appliances Solar Assisted Heating and Cooling is an innovation in the Refrigeration and Air-conditioning industry that reduces the energy needed for these essential services. This patent and patent-pending technology is young in the Global space and

The problem of Striga infestation is increasing disproportionately in the sorghum growing areas of Africa, especially in drier regions of the continent. The infestation particularly affects smallholder farmers who grow sorghum and other cereal crops under marginal environments, with erratic rainfall

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is an aquatic weed which has one of the highest growth rates of all plants in the world. This fast growing plant causes numerous problems in water bodies. These problems are related to navigation, recreation, irrigation and hydropower generation. The complete

Nambu is an early stage insect protein company that turns food waste into high quality protein for use in animal feed. Our products are ideally suited for use in the poultry, pig and aquaculture industries, and provides a cost-effective alternative to soya and fish meal based feeds. By-products

The skin represents the first physical barrier to protect our bodies from harmful toxins, pathogens and dangerous environmental factors and plays an important role in social and visual experiences. South Africans have used traditional herbal medicinal products to increase immunity in

This technology involves a method for generating hydrogen in an electrolysis cell. A proton exchange membrane (PEM) is used to separate anode and cathode chambers of the cell. The space between the anode and the PEM is filled with aqueous sulfuric acid. In use, gaseous sulphur dioxide is fed to the

This technology offers a next-generation creatine powder formulated with food-grade components that enable instant mixing in water and long-term shelf stability. When added to liquid, the powder disperses rapidly and forms a clear, grit-free solution within seconds, avoiding the sedimentation and

This technology is a high temperature self-repairing carbide ceramic matrix composite. It is produced using titanium and a porous CfC composite preform matrix. Titanium and the composite preform matrix are placed in a crucible and spark plasma sintering is used to melt titanium so that it
