In this article, we are introducing a new method for a CNISFET micro-sensor that uses a flexible analog circuit to perform noise reduction and temperature compensation. The circuit is developed for the common CNISFET micro sensor simulated on the TopSPICE platform.

The response of the sensor array reaches its maximum in the evening of the investigated day which may due to high vehicular traffic or/and human habits resulting in elevated concentrations of pollutants. Dataset treatment by Principal Component Analysis and Discriminant Function Analysis shows a good discrimination between samples collected at different times of the day. Moreover, Support Vector Machines were used and reached a classification success rate of 97.5 %. Thermal Desorption-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (TD-GC-MS) technique was used to validate the developed e-nose system by identifying the composition of the analyzed air samples. The discrimination obtained by e-nose system was in good agreement with the TD-GC-MS results. This study demonstrates the usefulness of TD-GC-MS and e-nose, providing high accuracy in discriminating outdoor air samples collected at different times. This demonstrates the potential of using the e-nose as a rapid, easy to use and inexpensive environmental monitoring system.","PeriodicalId":158426,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Design & Test of Integrated Micro & Nano-Systems (DTS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124376321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been shown that two single-stage amplifiers with low gain will consume less area in comparison with a single-stage high gain amplifier for capacitively coupled amplifiers. Besides, splitting a high gain amplifier into two single-stages in this structure leads to achieving a higher input impedance at the end. Furthermore, it helps to boost the input impedance at a higher frequency. The robustness of the proposed structure is investigated by process and mismatch Monte Carlo simulations. All the simulations are run using in a commercially available 0.18 μm CMOS technology. Based on post-layout simulation, the proposed two-stage amplifier has 53 dB mid-band gain in the bandwidth of 5 Hz to 10 kHz. The input impedance is 2.8 GΩ and 56 MΩ at 1 kHz and 10 kHz, respectively. In comparison to a single-stage amplifier, the proposed structure boosted the input impedance at frequencies up to 1 kHz by a factor of 10 while the power consumption increased only 0.5 μW.

A pre-processing has been designed for checking the integrity of data, i.e., detecting missing data and abnormal consumptions. In order to optimize the water uses in distribution networks, monitoring and forecasting consumption are good solutions. Five models, namely the Polynomial Regression (PR), Nonlinear AutoRegressive (NAR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) are designed and compared to find the most accurate solution to forecast daily water consumption. The performance of these models is based on the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) calculated from desired values. The water consumption for the next five days is predicted with no prior information but only centralized past measurements.
