The objective of this paper is to apply a closed-loop control based on dielectric excitation to MOX gas sensors in order to improve their response time. The control implements a feedback loop in which temperature modulations ...

Inherent variability of chemical sensors makes it necessary to calibrate chemical detection systems individually. This shortcoming has traditionally limited usability of systems based on metal oxide gas sensor arrays and ...

In machine olfaction, the design of applications based on gas sensor arrays is highly dependent on the robustness of the signal and data processing algorithms. While the practice of testing the algorithms on public benchmarks ...

The current socio-environmental and health problems that have arisen from the research of the presence of microplastics in the human body expose the need not only to reduce the use of plastics but to eliminate those that ...

Chemical sensing may be better suited than conventional smoke-based detectors for the detection of certain type of fires, in particular in fires where smoke appears after gas emissions. However, chemical-based systems also ...

Mesoporous materials have been studied as high performance sensing materials due to their singular microstructure and extremely high surface-to-volume ratio. However, the lack of stability of these nanostructures is assumed ...

Vanadium thin films are prepared by DC magnetron sputtering using the GLancing Angle Deposition (GLAD) method. This technique will allow the growth of porous nano-structures with inclined columns, as well as zig-zags and ...
