    • Characterisation of a UHF fading channel for an RFID-based EVI system 

      Marais, Henri-Jean (North-West University, 2008)
      On the request of government's transport authority, SANRAL, the North-west University was requested to investigate the applicability of using passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio-frequency identification (RFID) for ...

    • A cloud based business intelligence framework for a cellular Internet of Things network 

      Moolman, L.W. (North-West University (South Africa), 2020)
      In this research, a Business Intelligence (BI) framework for a cellu-lar Internet of Things (IoT) environment is researched, designed, im-plemented and evaluated. The BI framework provides a structure that supports development ...

    • Design and synthesis of an image-based object detection system 

      Vermaak, N. (North-West University (South Africa), 2020)
      This thesis presents the design and synthesis of an image-based ob-ject detection system, as applied to a facial recognition (FR)-enabled surveillance system. By employing the Design Science Research (DSR) paradigm and ...

    • Development of a process model for a modern control room 

      Hugo, E.L. (North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
      We are in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution, which raises the question of the relevance of intelligent technologies in modern-day control room systems. Control rooms in multiple industries perform tasks of event ...

    • Full life cycle analysis of usability in IoT systems 

      Du Plessis, E. (North-West University (South Africa), 2020)
      Usability in IoT systems has not been clearly defined, and even more so over a system full life cycle. The concept of usabililty over a full life cycle is not commonly encountered, and a research question arose as to its ...

    • Identification of cellular handsets through radio frequency signature extraction on an FPGA platform 

      Hattingh, Johannes Petrus (2015)
      Specific emitter identification refers to the process of performing identification of radio frequency transmitters by exploiting unique variations in emitted signals, caused by hardware variations. In previous research, ...

    • The innovation process of a universal remote access device 

      Begemann, Albert (North-West University, 2003)
      A small design firm faces several risks when designing a new product. One of the biggest risks is not knowing the potential demand for a product that they might want to produce and market. Small firms have limited resources ...

    • A novel Decision Support System for modern Relational and Non-Relational Database Systems 

      Jordaan, Pieter Willem (North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)
      Data-based application design and development can be complex and difficult to navigate. With relational and non-relational database technologies, each with divergent paradigms, it is not apparent how to make the correct ...

    • The remote calibration of instrument transformers 

      Rens, S. (North-West University (South Africa), 2019)
      Successful operation and control of a power system is dependent on the accurate measurement of field data. Each measurement received is the result of a chain of instrumentation and data handling processes, and with each ...

    • A selection method for candidate systems engineers 

      Gonçalves, Duarte Paulo da Silva (North-West University, 2013)
      In South Africa there is a shortage of systems engineers which is being addressed by a systems engineering (SE) development program. The purpose of this research was to design a selection method that could be used to select ...

    • Synthesis and evaluation of a charge sensitive amplifier for neutron counters 

      Strachan, Stefanie (2013)
      Cosmic-ray fluctuations are monitored by neutron monitors using several different kinds of proportional counter tubes. An important component of these monitors is the electronic subsystem that registers and counts output ...

    • Synthesis and evaluation of a monitoring and control system for a neutron monitor 

      Fuchs, Renier (2014)
      Neutron monitors detect secondary particles produced by the collision of cosmic rays and atmospheric nuclei. The need exists for a mini-neutron monitor data acquisition system (MNM-DAS) to replace the existing recording ...

    • Synthesis and evaluation of an autonomous neutron monitor system for use in a very low temperature environment 

      Nel, Ruan (North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)
      The long standing study field of cosmic rays has been around since 1932 and as such, so has neutron monitors used to observe these high energy particles. One of the determining factors influencing the measurement of particles ...

    • Testability in an IoT system : a full life cycle perspective 

      Van Deventer, Jean-Pierre (North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)
      The Internet-of-Things (IoT) has brought about a major paradigm shift to traditional system analysis and design. System testing, and testability, also changed as more system elements can now be measured than in traditional ...

    • A usable, real-time interpreter for rapid product development 

      Jordaan, Johannes Jacobus (North-West University, 2010)
      The need for a usable programmable logic controller (PLC) was identified. This need originated from the shortfalls in flexibility and limited functionality of existing industrial-type PLCs. In order to address these ...
