Introduction-An electronic nose is a device intended to detect odors or flavors. It is an

The Electronic Nose Training Automation Development

2003

The electronic nose is a method of using several sensors in conjunction to identify an unknown gas. Statistical analysis has shown that a large number of training exposures need to be performed in order to get a model that can be depended on. The number of training exposures needed is on the order of 1000. Data acquisition from the noses are generally automatic and built in. The gas generation equipment consists of a Miller-Nelson (MN) flowhemperaturehumidity controller and a Kin-Tek (KT) trace gas generator. This equipment has been controlled in the past by an old data acquisition and control system. The new system will use new control boards and an easy graphical user interface. The programming for this is in the LabVIEW G programming language. A language easy for the user to make modifications to. connections. It is not a primer on LabVIEW programming, a separate CD is being delivered with website files to teach that. This paper details some of the issues in selecting the components and programming the ' Kin-Tek labs Operating Instructions

E-Nose and Its Application

2019

An electronic nose (e-nose) is a keen detecting gadget that utilizes a variety of gas sensors of broadening and halfway selectivity forward with an example acknowledgment part to recognize both confused and basic scents. To date, e-noses have had a decent variety of utilization in various applications from the nourishment business to restorative analysis. A next stage in the improvement of e-noses is the thought of fake olfaction into bound together frameworks, cooperating with different sensors on progressively complex stages for example a versatile mechanical structure or a clever situation. This paper introduces an investigation of the more basic difficulties in the digestion of this imperative sense into astute frameworks. This paper present uses different detecting modalities (cameras, sonar, material and electronic nose sensors) and abnormal state forms (organizer, representative thinking) to achieve various olfactory related assignments.

Towards the development of an electronic nose

2003

Electronic noses are targeted at determining odour character in a fashion that emulates conscious odour perception in mammals. The intention of this study was to develop an organisational framework for electronic noses and deploy a sample cheese odour discriminator within this framework. Biological olfactory systems are reviewed with the purpose of extracting the organisational principles that result in successful olfaction. Principles of gas handling, chemoreception, and neural processing are considered in the formulation of an organisational framework. An electronic nose is then developed in accordance with the biologically inspired framework. Gas sensing is implemented by an array of six commercially available (tin oxide) semiconductor sensors. These popular gas sensors are known to lack stability thus necessitating hardware and signal processing measures to limit or compensate for instability. An odorant auto-sampler was developed to deliver measured amounts of odorant to the sensors in a synthetic air medium. Each measurement event encodes a simulated sniff, and is captured across six sensor channels over a period of 256 seconds at a sampling rate of 1Hz. The simulated sniff captures sensor base references and responses to odorant introduction and removal. A technique is presented for representation and processing of sensor-array data as a two-dimensional (2D) image where one dimension encodes time, and the other encodes multi-channel sensory outputs. The near optimal, computationally efficient 2D Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is used to represent the 2D signal in a decorrelated frequency domain. Several coefficient selection strategies are proposed and tested. A heuristic technique is developed for the selection of transform domain coefficients as inputs to a non-linear neural network based classifier. The benefits of using the selection heuristic as compared to standard variance-based selection are evident in the results. Benefits include; significant dimensionality reduction with concomitant reduction in classifier size and training time, improved generalisation by the neural network and improved classification performance. The electronic nose produced a 99.1 % classification rate across a set of seven different cheeses. 2.2.4 High-level processing: Cortical and limbic pathways 2.11 2.3 Summary 2.12 2.3.1 Gas handling 2.13 2.3.2 Chemoreception 2.13 2.3.3 Signal processing 2.14 2.4 Conclusion 2.14

Conception and Simulation of an Electronic Nose Prototype for Olfactory Acquisition

Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal

The "Electronic Nose" approach, which is exclusive to gas measurement systems, uses gas sensors as odor detectors. Design faults exist in the existing electronic nose (e-nose) chamber, such as its large volume, difficult construction, etc. In order to obtain measurements in a satisfactory state, we want to create a gas chamber that can provide favorable conditions for the sensor array, taking into account the ideal gas flow morphology and detector placement. To describe and identify the design capable of offering the best performance for a genuine idea, the e-nose chamber was created using ParaVIEW simulation and FreeCAD conception. According to the results, the spherical sensing container with connections from both pipes in a tangential arc style gives the highest performance in terms of turbulence reduction, in that case, we are printing this chamber and put it in a gas flow prototype to see the performance of the quality measurement of the sensors inside it, and the result shows that these sensors have good acquisition responses by testing the homogeneity distribution inside the chamber.

Electronic noses and their applications

1995

Electronic/artificial noses are being developed as systems for the automated detection and classification of odors, vapors, and gases. An electronic nose is generally composed of a chemical sensing system (e.g., sensor array or spectrometer) and a pattern recognition system (e.g., artificial neural network). We are developing electronic noses for the automated identification of volatile chemicals for environmental and medical applications. In this paper, we briefly describe an electronic nose, show some results from a prototype electronic nose, and discuss applications of electronic noses in the environmental, medical, and food industries.
