Effects of electrode configuration on polymer carbon-black composite chemical vapor sensor performanceIEEE Sensors Journal - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 160-168 - 2002
B. Matthews, Jing Li, S. Sunshine, L. Lerner, J.W. Judy
The performance of polymer carbon-black composite chemical vapor sensors as a function of underlying electrode size and geometry has been studied. The sensor performance parameters investigated were sensor response magnitude to a toluene analyte (100, 500, and 1000 ppm), fundamental sensor noise in the presence of air, and two concentrations of toluene (100 and 500 ppm), and signal-to-noise ratio ...... hiện toàn bộ

Medical diagnosis with the gradient microarray of the KAMINAIEEE Sensors Journal - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 254-259 - 2002
I. Koronczi, K. Ziegler, U. Kruger, J. Goschnick
Investigations with human breath and cultures of oral bacteria have been performed to examine the analytical performance of the KAMINA gradient microarray based on a segmented metal oxide layer. Standard microarray chips with 38 segments, one chip equipped with platinum doped SnO/sub 2/ and the other with WO/sub 3/, were inspected. The results show that the gradient microarray is able to detect ac...... hiện toàn bộ

Learning from data: a tutorial with emphasis on modern pattern recognition methodsIEEE Sensors Journal - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 203-217 - 2002
M. Pardo, G. Sberveglieri
The purposes of this tutorial are twofold. First, it reviews the classical statistical learning scenario by highlighting its fundamental taxonomies and its key aspects. The second aim of the paper is to introduce some modern (ensembles) methods developed inside the machine learning field. The tutorial starts by putting the topic of supervised learning into the broader context of data analysis and ...... hiện toàn bộ

Bioelectronic sniffer device for trimethylamine vapor using flavin containing monooxygenaseIEEE Sensors Journal - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 133-139 - 2002
K. Mitsubayashi, Y. Hashimoto
A bioelectronic sniffer device for trimethylamine (TMA) in the gas phase "fish-odor substance" was constructed using a flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3, one of xeno-biotic metabolizing enzymes) and a reaction unit with both gas and liquid cells separated by a porous poly(tetrafluoroethylene) diaphragm membrane (pore size: 30-60 /spl mu/m, thickness: 0.20 mm). A substrate regeneration cycle ...... hiện toàn bộ

Gas sensitivity comparison of polymer coated SAW and STW resonators operating at the same acoustic wave lengthIEEE Sensors Journal - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 150-159 - 2002
I.D. Avramov, M. Rapp, S. Kurosawa, P. Krawczak, E.I. Radeva
Results from systematic gas sensing experiments on polymer coated surface-transverse-wave (STW) and surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) based two-port resonators on rotated Y-cut quartz, operating at the same acoustic wavelength of 7.22 /spl mu/m, are presented. The acoustic devices are coated with chemosensitive films of different viscoelastic properties and thicknesses, such as solid hexamethyldisiloxan...... hiện toàn bộ

Air quality monitoring and fire detection with the Karlsruhe electronic micronose KAMINAIEEE Sensors Journal - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 179-188 - 2002
C. Arnold, M. Harms, J. Goschnick
An indoor air monitoring device is one of the most prominent consumer applications of an electronic nose (EN). Integral gas analysis similar to biogenic odor perception can be a versatile tool to obtain continuous information about pollutants, odors, and air compositions indicating gaseous precursors of dangers such as fires. However, an EN to be used as a common household device has to combine hi...... hiện toàn bộ

Pattern analysis for machine olfaction: a reviewIEEE Sensors Journal - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 189-202 - 2002
R. Gutierrez-Osuna
Pattern analysis constitutes a critical building block in the development of gas sensor array instruments capable of detecting, identifying, and measuring volatile compounds, a technology that has been proposed as an artificial substitute for the human olfactory system. The successful design of a pattern analysis system for machine olfaction requires a careful consideration of the various issues i...... hiện toàn bộ

This paper presents an investigation of odor localization by groups of autonomous mobile robots. First, we describe a distributed algorithm by which groups of agents can solve the full odor localization task. Next, we establish that conducting polymer-based odor sensors possess the combination of speed and sensitivity necessary to enable real world odor plume tracing and we demonstrate that simple...... hiện toàn bộ
