    • A parallel virtual instrumentation framework for improving diagnostic efficiency in bed-of-nails testers 

      Chamunorwa, T.; Musiiwa, P. B.; Zvavashe, T.; Rushambwa, M. C.; Tyavlovsky, A.; Svistun, A. I. (БНТУ, 2025)
      Conventional sequential PCB testers are inefficient, as a single failure halts all subsequent tests, leading to incomplete diagnostic data and delayed fault isolation. This study proposes a parallel virtual instrumentation framework in LabVIEW to overcome these limitations. By leveraging asynchronous execution, the framework runs multiple independent tests concurrently, continuing ...

    • A review of modern intelligent and energyefficient tobacco curing system 

      Munyanduri, T. P.; Makusha, D. T.; Chimonyo, K. B.; Rushambwa, M. C. (БНТУ, 2025)
      The article reviews the core technological components that enable intelligent and energy-efficient control of modern tobacco curing systems. Traditional flue-curing is a highly energy-intensive process relying heavily on subjective manual control, leading to high fuel consumption and variable leaf quality. This review focuses on the integration of Machine Vision (MV), specifically ...

    • An investigation into the power-performance trade-off in memristor-augmented sense amplifiers for nanoscale SRAM 

      Musiiwa, P. B.; Rushambwa, M. C.; Gwamuri, J.; Kanhukamwe, Q. C.; Tyavlovsky, A.; Svistun, A. I. (БНТУ, 2025)
      As technology ramps up to high nodes, SRAM sense amplifiers struggle suffer from increasing static power. The paper proposes memristors as non-volatile, tunable loads in cross-coupled differential sense amplifiers as a remedy. Simulation in a 45 nm node reveals 69.2 % leakage power reduction, making the solution appealing for low-power usage. The static power reduction comes at ...

    • Design and evaluation of a gps-gsm based iot tracking device for personal and asset tracking 

      Didymus, T. M..; Hazel, V. M.; Tapiwanashe, M.; Rushambwa, M. C.; Chimonyo, K. B. (БНТУ, 2025)
      Trackers play a crucial role in society by enabling individuals and organizations to monitor and manage their assets, resources, and activities more effectively. For people, companies, and organizations to safeguard their valuables against theft and to prevent unauthorized access, asset security is essential. This is why trackers are used. Trackers provide real-time information ...

    • Integrated poultry environmental monitoring and control system with GSM alerts 

      Shemiyadi, P.; Didymus, T. M.; Rushambwa, M. C.; Chimonyo, K. B. (БНТУ, 2025)
      Poor environmental conditions such as elevated levels of ammonia and carbon monoxide pose serious problems for poultry production since they thwart optimum growth of chickens. An Atmega328p microcontroller based integrated monitoring and control system prototype is presented in this study. In addition to LCD displays and GSM alerts for farmers, sensors such as DHT11 for temperature ...

    • The silicon shield: a synergistic, hardware-anchored architecture for next-generation cyber resilience 

      Musiiwa, P. B.; Rushambwa, M. C.; Gwamuri, J.; Kanhukamwe, Q. C.; Tyavlovsky, A.; Svistun, A. I. (БНТУ, 2025)
      The escalating sophistication of cyber threats, which now routinely target the hardware layer, has rendered traditional software-only security models insufficient.1 This paper challenges the long-held assumption that hardware constitutes an inherently trusted foundation, a premise invalidated by the rise of physical, side-channel, and supply chain attacks. It introduces the ...
