Abstract: The present invention relates to a drone for measuring odor concentration, characterized by a specific configuration which allows samples to be collected in locations which would otherwise be hard to access or inaccessible, and under conditions in which the drive means do not affect the measurement. Additionally, the invention is characterized by the correct marking of the spatial location of each sample collection and measurement, even if the sample collection and measurement requires a transport time of the suctioned air.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement, system, and method to test a device with a plurality of pins for electric overstress and transient induced latch-up characteristics. The circuit arrangement includes an inverting operational amplifier with a unity gain to receive a triggering signal and supply an inverted signal to a power amplifier. The power amplifier transforms the inverted signal into a test signal, which is received by a ratio circuit. The test signal is further operable to test the electric overstress and transient induced latch-up characteristics of the device. The ratio circuit transforms the test signal into a ratio signal. The ratio signal has a voltage magnitude that corresponds to the current magnitude of the test signal. The test signal and ratio signal are measured to determine if, during testing, the device or a component of the device has failed.
