摘要: We have developed a simple way to generate binary patterns based on spectral slopes in different frequency ranges at fluctuation-enhanced sensing. Such can be considered as "fingerprints" of odors. The method has experimentally been demonstrated with commercial semiconducting metal oxide (Taguchi) sensor exposed bacterial odors (Escherichia coli and Anthrax-surrogate Bacillus subtilis) processing their stochastic signals. With single Taguchi sensor, the situations empty chamber, tryptic soy agar (TSA) medium, or TSA bacteria could distinguished 100% reproducibility. bacterium numbers were range 2.5 × 104-106. To illustrate relevance for ultra-low power consumption, we show that this new type signal pattern recognition task implemented by analog circuitry few logic gates total consumption microWatts range.
