Smell and Taste are the two very imperative senses which enable us in detection and discrimination of several volatile organic compounds, which in turn may be identified as indicators for specific desirable or undesirable conditions in various industries. Electronic nose and electronic tongue are recent technologies which have attracted many researchers to work in order to provide effective solutions for various industrial applications. This paper overviews the functionality of the electronic nose and electronic tongue and presents a summary of different sensors used for the said technologies. Also, a comparison between an E-nose and E-tongue is presented on the basis of relative figure of merits. A case study is presented wherein application of artificial nose and artificial tongue is discussed for the quality analysis of the fruits. The paper is aimed to emphasis on the possibilities of combining e-nose and e-tongue techniques to enhance the overall performance of the system used for food quality analysis. An E-nose combined with an E-tongue can be a highly efficient, non-invasive, fast and low cost method of quality analysis that can serve the industry and society for the betterment of the mankind

The Impact

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review recent progress in electronic nose technologies, focusing on hybrid systems combining biological elements with physical transducers. Design/methodology/approach Electronic nose technologies are moving rapidly towards hybrid bioelectronic systems, where biological odour-recognition elements from the olfactory pathways of vertebrates and insects are being utilised to construct new “bionic noses” that can be used in industrial applications. Findings With the increased understanding of how chemical senses and the brain function in biology, an emerging field of “neuromorphic olfaction” has arisen. Research limitations/implications Important components are olfactory receptor proteins and soluble proteins found at the periphery of olfaction called odorant-binding proteins. The idea is that these proteins can be incorporated into transducers and function as biorecognition elements for volatile compounds of interest. Practical implications Major drivers are the security, environmental and medical applications, and the internet of things will be a major factor in implementing low-cost chemical sensing in networked applications for the future. Social implications Widespread take up of new technologies that are cheap will minimise the impact of environmental pollution, increase food safety and may potentially help in non-invasive screening for medical ailments. Originality/value This review brings together diverse threads of research leading to a common theme that will inform a non-expert of recent developments in the field.

Image Quality Analysis

In this study, the optical performance of plastic (acrylic-polycarbonate-acrylic, acrylic-polystyrene-acrylic, PMMA-polycarbonate-PMMA, and PMMA-polystyrene-PMMA) diffraction-limited air-spaced Cooke triplet lens designs optimized for the spectral range 0.995 to 1.01 µm are presented. Comparing the acrylic-polycarbonate-acrylic air-spaced Cooke triplet lens design with the other three plastic lens designs, the obtained results indicate that the acrylic-polycarbonate-acrylic design can achieve the best image quality performance at 50% contrast 56 cycles/mm and Strehl ratio= 0.989 for the on-axis field-of-view (FOV= 0°). Furthermore, over the temperature range 18.30 to 22.25 °C and over +12° FOV the acrylic-polycarbonate-acrylic air-spaced Cooke triplet lens design performance remained diffraction-limited (Strehl ratio < 0.8). The low cost and the light weight of plastic optical components makes them attractive for several industrial applications. As an example, plastic lenses are incorporated into cell phone cameras and LED collimation optics.

Health Care Strategies

Health-care strategies are currently oriented towards non-invasive techniques for an early diagnosis. The chemical analysis seems to be a good answer to accomplish both prevention, a fundamental requirement for an efficient treatment of the disease, and non-invasivity. GC is very accurate but is expensive; its sampling and assaying processes are complicated and time consuming, while its results require expert interpretation. Over the last decade, "electronic sensing" or "e-sensing" technologies have undergone some important developments from both a technical and commercial point of view. Particularly, in recent years, the usefulness of the electronic nose has been clinically proved as an opportunity for the early detection of such diseases as lung cancer, diabetes, and tuberculosis. In this paper, a portable, versatile and inexpensive system for the measurement of gas concentration through a gas sensor array is described. The system uses low cost metal oxide gas transducers and can automatically compensate the values of gas concentration detected according to the current values of temperature and humidity. The device works in slave mode and its acquired and computed data are available by means of a host/slave ASCII serial communication protocol. A host device can periodically require the current values of gas concentration and apply the appropriate algorithms for the detection of the investigated substances.

Internet Connections

Internet of things and smart cities are becoming a reality. Nowadays, more and more devices are interconnected and in order to deal with this new situation, data processing speeds are increasing to keep the pace. Smart devices like tablets and smartphones are accessible to a wide part of society in developed countries, and Internet connections for data exchange make it possible to handle large volumes of information in less time. This new reality has opened up the possibility of developing client-server architectures focused on clinical diagnosis in real time and at a very low cost. This paper illustrates the design and implementation of the ALZUMERIC system that is oriented to the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is a platform where the medical specialist can gather voice samples through non-invasive methods from patients with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and the system automatically parameterizes the input signal to make a diagnose proposal. Although this type of impairment produces a cognitive loss, it is not severe enough to interfere with daily life. The present approach is based on the description of speech pathologies with regard to the following profiles: phonation, articulation, speech quality, analysis of the emotional response, language perception, and complex dynamics of the system. Privacy, confidentiality and information security have also been taken into consideration, as well as possible threats that the system could suffer, so this first prototype of services offered by ALZUMERIC has been targeted to a predetermined number of medical specialists.

Air-Cooled Condenser performance can significantly affect WTE plants bottom-line. Most of the possible ACC performance improvement solutions require some important capital costs (fin tubes replacement, fans blades or motor upgrade, additional ACC cells, addition of preventive air re-circulation panels, etc…). A new low cost tool and methodology is now allowing to gain a very detailed understanding of ACC behaviours and to optimize ACC operations and cleaning schedules. This article is illustrated by the case-study of a WTE located in the south of France (equipped with a 5.5 MW GE condensing turbine), where the facility performance was strongly limited by its ACC, and where additional turbine generator output of more than 1 MW were achieved.
