Recognising such olfactory scenes could inform personal activity tracking, environmental monitoring, and assist robotic navigation. Yet it is unclear if current Metal-oxide (MOx) sensor technology is sensitive and specific enough to achieve this. Factors like sensor drift, and sensitivity to ambient humidity and temperature further complicate the recognition of olfactory scenes. Hotplate temperature modulation has been suggested as a method to counter these drawbacks. We present an electronic nose based on MEMS-MOx sensors that support rapid hotplate temperature modulation with a 150 ms period. We recorded different natural olfactory scenes in an urban context. A linear SVM was able to recognise four olfactory scenes in single hotplate cycles with near-perfect performance when trained and tested on the same day, and 73% accuracy when tested in the same locations on the next day. Gas sensor responses yielded higher recognition accuracy than humidity, temperature, and pressure, which were also partly-location specific. Our results indicate that hotplate modulation enables recognition of natural odor scenes across extended timespans. These findings encourage the use of MOx-sensors as rapid sensing devices in natural, uncontrolled environments.","PeriodicalId":427373,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose (ISOEN)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127947139","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}

However, the limited sensitivity and specificity have hampered their further development and practical applications. In recent years, biomimetic biosensors based on the combination of biomaterials as sensitive materials and various detection device as transducers have been widely proposed for the purpose of bridging the gap between the electronic system and the biological sense of smell. In this work, a biomimetic biosensor based on SD primary cardiomyocytes as the main sensitive element and microelectrode array (MEA) as the transducer device was developed for medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) detection for the first time. The extracted primary cardiomyocytes endogenously expressing the OR51 E 1 olfactory receptor were cultured on the MEA surface and formed syncytium for potential conduction and mechanical beating. The obtained results indicated that the surface coating of MEA chip provided good biocompatibility for cardiomyocyte culture which grow well on the surface of MEA chip, allowing for the further measurement on cell responsive signals. The measurement results showed that this biomimetic biosensor had specific responses to five fatty acids with significant responsive signals and different fatty acid odorants were successfully distinguished by principal component analysis (PCA). The cardiomyocyte-based biosensor developed in this work provides a new method for biomimetic biosensor construction and has promising applications in olfactory detection and pharmaceutical researches.","PeriodicalId":427373,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose (ISOEN)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132542534","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}

To improve the performance of such devices, proteins from the olfactory system are very attractive sensing materials. Nevertheless, conserving their biological properties when exposed to gaseous VOCs is quite challenging. Indeed, the absence of an aqueous environment can largely affect the activity of the proteins as water molecules play a crucial role in the stabilization of their structure. Consequently, the hydration degree of the working milieu has a large impact on the function of the biosensors. In this study the performance of an optoelectronic nose based on odorant binding proteins was investigated and the role of humidity on the activity of the system was emphasized.","PeriodicalId":427373,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose (ISOEN)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114062592","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}

When a sensing material chemisorbs the gas, effective charges are formed on the sensing material. These charges induce a potential change, transmitting this change to the Si channel. The current change due to gas reaction and current fluctuations both affect gas detection. The gas reaction causes a change in the threshold voltage of the sensor and causes different current fluctuations depending on the operating region. The smaller the current fluctuation, the more accurately the sensor can detect the gas. It is observed that the larger the VCG and the smaller the VDS, the smaller the current fluctuation. By operating the sensor in the linear region (VCG= Vth+ 1.2 V, VDS= 0.1 V) rather than the subthreshold region (VCG= Vth- 0.3 V, VDS= 0.1 V), the standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution of the current fluctuation can be reduced by ~100 times.","PeriodicalId":427373,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose (ISOEN)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133239574","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}
