  • Sensor tuning—sensor specific selection for IoT—electronic nose application using gradient boosting decision trees
    Patent number: 11619618
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for tuning an array of sensors to enable selection of the most suitable sensors for a target application. After extracting features from sensor raw data, the extracted features are ranked with gradient boosting decision trees to assign an importance value to each extracted feature. A threshold value for the entire set of extracted features is calculated and an importance score is calculated for the individual sensors of the array. Individual sensors with an importance score on or above the threshold value are selected for the target application.

  • Adaptive sensor temperature control for fast recovery
    Patent number: 11614432
    Abstract: Provided is a gas sensor system with a gas sensor, and a microprocessor programmed to control the gas sensor with at least two operational modes. The first operational mode controls the gas sensor from a baseline level through analyte detection. Upon initiation of the recovery phase after analyte withdrawal, the gas sensor system switches to the second operational mode, which changes conditions of the gas sensor to (i) accelerate removal of the analyte from the gas sensor and (ii) accelerate recovery of the gas sensor output towards the baseline level. When no further analyte is detected, the gas sensor switches back to the first operational mode or to an additional operational mode to complete recovery.
