Przedstawiono koncepcję nosa elektronicznego, z wykorzystaniem pomiarów i analizy zjawisk fluktuacyjnych w rezystancyjnych czujnikach gazów. Przybliżono problemy pomiarów szumów m.cz. oraz sposoby ich analizy. Opisano szereg przykładowych zastosowań takiego urządzenia.

W pracy zaprezentowano platformę do badania elektronicznego nosa. Zaproponowane rozwiązanie umożliwia trening elektronicznego nosa oraz pomiar charakterystyk czujników gazów.

A characteristic feature of human and animal organs of smell is the ability to identify hundreds of thousands of odours. It is accompanied by particular smell sensations, which are a basic source of information about odour mixture. The main structural elements of biological smell systems are the olfactory receptors. Small differences in a structure of odorous molecules (odorants) can lead to significant change of odour, which is...

The practical application of human nose for fragrance recognition is severely limited by the fact that our sense of smell is subjective and gets tired easily. Consequen tly, there is considerable need for an instrument that can be a substitution of the human sense of smell. Electronic nose devices from the mid 1980s are used in growing number of applications. They comprise an array of several electrochemical gas sensors...

Among many applications in different fields of science and technology the ionic liquids (ILs) are also utilised in chemical sensors yielding improvement of their operation parameters (Buzzeo, 2004; Wei and Ivaska, 2008; Silvester, 2011; Gebicki et al., 2013). Some of these chemical sensors are the components of the devices, which resemble human sense of smell as far as their operation is concerned. These devices are named electronic...
