Kalman Filter based RFID tag velocity estimation in the presence of frequency hopping
(IEEE, 2019)This paper compares different techniques for estimating the velocity of UHF RFID tags within practical applications. We use COTS RFID equipment complying with ISO18000-6C standards, including the use of frequency hopping, ... -
Knowledge and skills requirements for software developer student
(ICETC, 2014)It is widely acknowledged that there is a shortage of software developers, not only in South Africa, but also worldwide. Despite reports on a gap between industry needs and software education, the gap has mostly been ... -
Lean implementation strategies: how are the Toyota Way principles addressed?
(Stellenbosch Univ, 2016)Lean manufacturing is widely considered to be a proven organisational improvement philosophy, yet the success rate of lean implementation in industry remains relatively low. Neglect of the human aspect of lean manufacturing ... -
A life cycle model for the development of airborne electronic equipment
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2017)This paper describes a life cycle model for the development of electronic equipment for use on board military aircraft in the South African context. The life cycle model presented consolidates the activities of systems ... -
Linear model of a closed three-shaft Brayton cycle
(IEEE, 2004)A linear model of a closed three-shaft Brayton cycle is developed. The model is intended to give an understanding of the dominant dynamic behavior in a nuclear power system that utilizes a closed three-shaft Brayton cycle. ... -
A linguistic approach to information security awareness education in a healthcare environment
(Springer, 2017)It is widely accepted that healthcare information security is extremely important and that security breaches will have serious consequences in many areas. Despite controls, such as legal frameworks, as well as ongoing ... -
Linking export opportunities of products and services: the case of South Africa
(2012)Trade in services has been playing an increasingly important role in the economic growth and development of many countries. In addition it has been found that services trade is more crisis-resilient than goods trade, leading ... -
A low-cost condition monitoring solution for industrial bakery equipment
(NWU, 2018)Artisanal bakeries perform a critical function in many societies all over the world. However, artisanal bakers struggle to compete with commercial bakeries’ efficiencies due to the lack of technology deployment. One aspect ... -
Low-cost monitoring of partial discharge activity by means of Sub-Nyquist sampling
(British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing, 2014)The relatively low cost of distribution transformers dictates that the cost of any condition monitoring system for such transformers should be as low as possible. Premature failure of any transformer in an electrical grid ... -
Machine learning for radio frequency interference mitigation using polarization
(IEEE, 2017)Radio frequency interference (RFI) is electromagnetic interference (EMI) from signals in the radio frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. RFI reduces the sensitivity of radio telescope and produces artefacts in ... -
Magnetic circuit analysis of the low-cost in-wheel switching flux motor for HEV applications
(IEEE, 2019)This paper presents the design and analysis of Permanent Magnet Switching Flux Motor (PMSFM) for hybrid electrical vehicle application. The design is intended to obtain a cost effective, efficient motor with small flux ... -
Manufacturing of briquettes from typical highveld coal fines using various binders
(Swanson School of Engineering, Univ of Pittsburgh, 2015) -
A mathematical ranking model in learning analytics
(CMMSE, 2016)The introduction of new educationa l trends triggers the development of innovative methods to collect, analyse and report the data subsequently generated. This paper discusses the implementation of a ... -
Measurement and verification baseline development and service level adjustments for fridge plant systems
(2009)In this article the authors provide an overview of a fridge plant system and discuss the data requirements and data selection for baseline development. The baseline development is divided into two scenarios: 1) where ... -
Measurement and verification of the Eskom irrigation pumping standard product programme
(2013)Eskom Integrated Demand Management (IDM) initiated a funding mechanism termed the Standard Product Programme (SPP) to cater for smaller Energy Efficient (EE) projects. The impacts of these projects also need to be assessed ... -
Measurement and verification of the Eskom irrigation pumping standard product programme: evaluation of crop load factors
(2013)Eskom Integrated Demand Management (IDM) also included irrigation in the Standard Product Programme (SPP) to cater for smaller irrigation Energy Efficient (EE) projects. The irrigation sector is a large energy consumer ... -
Measurement uncertainty of current harmonics during the assessment of compliance to grid code requirements
(IEEE, 2018)This paper improves the impact of measurement uncertainty on harmonic grid code compliance assessment by characterization of the current transformers at a renewable power producer. Field data was collected to evaluate the ... -
The MeerKAT Fornax survey
(Sissa Medialab, 2016)We present the science case and observations plan of the MeerKAT Fornax Survey, an H I and radio continuum survey of the Fornax galaxy cluster to be carried out with the SKA precursor MeerKAT. Fornax is the second most ... -
The MeerKAT international GHz tiered extragalactic exploration (MIGHTEE) survey
(Sissa Medialab, 2016)The MIGHTEE large survey project will survey four of the most well-studied extragalactic deep fields, totalling 20 square degrees to μ Jy sensitivity at Giga-Hertz frequencies, as well as an ultra-deep ...
