  • Publication number: 20130211207
    Abstract: An e-nose device employing chemiresistive sensors with a thin nanoparticle film allows to perform a fast and accurate analysis of respiratory gases during anesthesia in real-time over the entire breathing cycle. A combinatorial selection of nanoparticles and organic linker molecules in the nanoparticle film allows to achieve a high selectivity, which is particularly suitable for detecting a change of anesthetics or analgesics over time.

  • Publication number: 20130064423
    Abstract: Feature extraction includes extracting features from signals of a plurality of sensors of a sensor array, including, for each sensor, obtaining a signal of the sensor corresponding to responses of the sensor during one or more exposures to samples, computing a baseline function from the signal, and computing the features based on the baseline function and values corresponding to responses of the sensor during each exposure. Feature vectors are formed from the features of the sensors. The features in each feature vector correspond to the same exposure. At least one of computing the baseline function by interpolating baseline values corresponding to responses of the sensor prior to each exposure, and forming the feature vectors by combining features of at least one sensor with features of at least one redundant sensor of the sensor array in the feature vectors is performed.
