Africa is slowly improving its technology and has no shortage of aspiring and creative minds. There is only one outcome when the incubating and innovative young minds in Africa embrace the knowledge and independence they long for – Inventions.  The following are some of the African inventions in the field of technological advancements that have been developed purely in Africa.

非洲慢慢的进步科技发展并且不缺创新的人才。有这样的年轻人只能有一个结果 - 发明。 下面看看一些在非洲发明的产品。

South African Kit Vaughan invented the  Aceso machine. The Aceso machine is the first imaging system designed to do a digital mammography and ultrasound at the same time. The mammographic and ultrasound technologies allow the Aceso machine to detect cancerous cells as soon as they develop even in women whose breasts tissues are very dense.

Very soon, women in South Africa and the rest of the world will have a very cost effective and efficient method of detecting breast cancer. Patented and ISO-certified in 2012, 120 women have helped to prove that this machine is indeed effective in detecting breast cancer.

南非的Kit Vaughan发明了Aceso设备。这个设备是世界上第一个数字化乳腺摄影联合超声检测仪。这技术适用于乳腺疾病的常规检查。通过这个设备南非和世界的女士们会有低成本高效率的设备。在2012获得了专利，已经有120女士证明了这个设备是检测乳腺疾病最有效的。

Th CAT scan is an unbelievable African invention that is widely used around the world in the medical field. This technology was invented by a South African called Allan Cormack. The inventor was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for his invention. In the CAT scan, the electronic detectors and X-ray source are rotated around the body and in the process, the radiologist gets a sharp map of the cross-section (tissue slices) of the body.

整个世界很有名的CAT扫描也是在非洲发明的。 这个技术的发明者是南非的Allan Cormack。 他后来在1979年因为他的这个发明获得了诺贝尔奖。

The charging shoe is one of the African inventions that was recently developed by a Kenyan inventor called Anthony Mutua. This technology is applied to charge phones using the power generated by pedestrians. This invention consists of thin crystal chips that are fitted to the sole of the shoe. As a person walks, electricity is generated through the pressure that is exerted on the sole during walking by the person’s weight. The chips carry the current through an extension cable that extends from the shoe to the phone in the pocket and you necessarily do not have to keep walking to generate energy as the shoes can also continue to charge phones after walks by releasing the stored energy after the shoes remain static. In this case, you can afford to walk or run without the wiring system and still be able to generate and store energy to be transferred to your mobile phones at a later time.

这个又是鞋子又是充电宝是近期一个肯尼亚人安东尼发明的。穿着这款鞋子的人，当他走路的时候会产生电力。经过数据线可以给手机充电。因为这款鞋子还有储存能量的功能，人不需要一直在走路才能充电，休息的时候人坐着同样也可以充电。

Cardiopad which was invented by a Cameroonian entrepreneur called Marc Arthur- the very first touch screen medical tablet invented and made in Africa. 

It is a computer tablet that is used for heart examinations. The gadget allows such examinations as electrocardiograms to be conducted in the rural and inaccessible locations. 

With the Cardiopad, electrodes are placed on the patient and connected to a module that, in turn, connects to the tablet. When a medical examination is performed on a patient in a remote village, for example, the results are transmitted from the nurse’s tablet to that of the doctor who then interprets them. 

The gadget is mostly used in areas where very urgent diagnostic tests need to be carried out but are inaccessible. The innovation has allowed many heart patients to get an early diagnosis, and this is a luxury as previously they could not get the service not unless they travelled to urban areas. The device is expected to facilitate treatment of patients suffering from heart disease across Africa and most especially Cameroon.

这个是喀麦隆企业家Marc Arthur发明的Cardiopad，是非洲制造第一个触屏的医疗平板用于心脏监护。这设备让那些在偏远地区的人容易监护心脏。比如：如果有一个在偏远地区的病人紧急需要大夫的话，只要有这个设备就可以读取他的心脏，而这些数据会发送到医生的平板上。这样的设备实现了远程心脏监护，这样会帮助数多偏远地区的心脏患者。

The Cybertracker was invented by Lindsay Stevenson in 1996. This African technology is used to track insects, birds and animals by the use of a satellite navigational system. San trackers can store information on different animals on this device. This includes the overall population of a species, their location, the number of males and females, where and how the animals feed and what the animals do to mark their territories. This is one of the most amazing African inventions that found its use in the Animal kingdom.

In essence, CyberTracker is the most efficient method of data collection using GPS. You can use CyberTracker with various handheld devices such as a Smartphone or computer to record any kind of observation made while out in the field. It requires no programming skills and allows you to customize an application for your own data collection needs.

Cybertracker有Lindsay Stevenson在1996年发明的。这个技术通过卫星导航系统可以监控虫，鸟，和动物。闪族监控者可以用这个设备来统计动物的数据。这是在动物世界里面最不可思议的发明。利用GPS这个设备可以通过各种移动设备来通知数据而且不需要懂编程技术。

Paul van Jaarsveld and Gordon Mayhew invented quiet cellular antennae technology, it has a square kilometre array plan that reduces noisy cellular emissions from base stations used by cellular companies. This African technology is based on one phased-array principle that blocks radio frequency transmissions along a given direction and also provides an omnidirectional coverage.

The antenna has been tested in other parts of the world and has worked extremely well. Trial measurements have shown that the radio signal frequency levels can be significantly reduced while at the same time maintaining the original GSM coverage. The SKA is projected to be 50 to 100 times more sensitive than any other radio telescope ever built, and an area without much radio emissions is essential for the success of the project.
