  • Patent number: 6411905
    Abstract: A system and method for obtaining an estimate of the concentration of an odor in an air sample from data obtained by evaluating the sample with a sensor-array type electronic nose. Principal components analysis is applied to a set of air sample data including sensor-array data obtained from evaluating the air sample with the sensor-array type electronic nose and measurements of the humidity of the air sample and clean reference air used by the electronic nose to obtain a predetermined number of principal components of the air sample data. The principal components obtained from the air sample are used as inputs to a neural network to obtain as output an estimate of the concentration of the odor in the air sample.

  • Patent number: 4331599
    Abstract: The 1:2 N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, the N-benzyl-2-phenylethylamine and the dibenzylamine salts of penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide, a well-known betalactamase inhibitor, are sparingly soluble in water. Accordingly they are valuable as slow release (depot) forms of penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide, particularly for use in conjunction with slow release (depot) forms of penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics, in the chemotherapy of bacterial infections in mammals.
