Automated pediatric cardiac auscultation
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2005-03)
Most of the relevant and severe congenital cardiac malfunctions can be recognized
in the neonatal period of a child’s life. The delayed recognition of a congenital heart
defect may have a serious impact on the long-term ...
Microwave heating of multiphase materials : modelling and measurement
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2005-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Both coaxial probe and waveguide (WG) measurement systems for electric and magnetic
material property extraction were investigated. These measurement techniques were used
to determine electrical properties ...
Facial Feature Reconstruction using Structure from Motion
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2005-03)
Structure from Motion suggests that an object or scene’s three-dimensional
structure can be determined from its observed two-dimensional motion. Human
efforts, manifested in computer algorithms, try to mimic the ...
Automatic compensation for inaccuracies in quadrature mixers
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2005-12)
In an ideal software defined radio (SDR), all parameters are defined in software, which
means the radio can be reconfigured to handle any communications standard. A major
technical challenge that needs to be overcome ...
Control moment gyro actuator for small satellite applications
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2005-03)
The aim of the thesis is to design a Control Moment Gyro (CMG) actuator which can be
used in small satellite applications. The hardware and software of the CMG has to be
designed according to specifications given. A ...
Control of a 1.5 MW active power filter and regeneration converter for a Spoornet DC traction substation
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2005-03)
Although regenerative braking has been in used in railway systems for a long time
already, the energy generated was dissipated in resistor banks. The rapid advances
in the power electronics field, accompanied by the ...
PWM converter for a highly non-linear plasma load
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2005-12)
This thesis discuss an investigation into the applicability of modern high frequency power
conversion technology in the plasma mineral processing industry. The physics governing
the plasma in a processing environment are ...
An investigation into multi-spectral tracking
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2005-03)
The purpose of this study was to investigate multi-spectral tracking. Various algorithms
were investigated and developed to enhance the contrast between target and non-target
classes. Different tracking algorithms were ...
Automatic syllabification of untranscribed speech
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2005-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The syllable has been proposed as a unit of automatic speech recognition due to its
strong links with human speech production and perception. Recently, it has been proved
that incorporating information ...
Development of a software defined radar environment simulator
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2005-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The development of a radar system is a complex process, requiring a substantial amount of
testing. In general, these tests are performed using field trials. Such trials are expensive,
and their exact ...
