In this study, an electronic nose with an array of 32 sensors was used to classify a range of odorous substances. The collective time response of the sensor array was first partitioned into four time segments, using four smooth time windowing functions. The dimension of the data associated with each time segment as then reduced by applying the Karhunen-Loeve (truncated) expansion (KLE). An ensemble of the reduced data patterns was then used to train a neural network (NN) using the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) learning method. A genetic algorithm (GA)-based evolutionary computation method was used to devise the appropriate NN training parameters, as well as the effective database partitions/features. Finally, it was shown that a GA supervised NN system (GANN) outperforms the NN-only classifier, for the classes of the odorants investigated in this study (fragrances, hog farm air, and soft beverages).}, number={4}, journal={IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering}, publisher={Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, author={Kermani, B.G. and Schiffman, S.S. and Nagle, H.T.}, year={1999}, month={Apr}, pages={429–439} }

The advancement of technology has made the fabrication of many dopants and consequently various sensors possible. As a result, in each family of gas sensors, one can find tens of different sensors which are only slightly different in the spectrum of response to various volatile compounds. The wide variety of available gas sensors creates a selection problem for any specific application. Sensor selection/reduction becomes even more important when cost and technology limitations are issues of concern. Accordingly, a methodology by which one can tailor a sensor array to a specific need is highly desirable. In this paper, a novel method is introduced to address this task using data from an electronic nose that uses polymer gas sensors. This method has been delineated based on the geometry of eigenvectors in Karhunen-Loeve expansion. The methodology is general and therefore suitable for many other feature selection problems.}, number={3}, journal={IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement}, publisher={Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, author={Kermani, B.G. and Schiffman, S.S. and Nagle, H.T.}, year={1998}, month={Jun}, pages={728–741} }

A new instrumentation method employing an array of conducting polymer gas sensors was used to identify the offending packaging components in the canister of a pharmaceutical inhalant. A case study is described in which tainted inhalers as well as elastomeric components of the canisters were 'sniffed' by the electronic nose. The electronic nose was able to differentiate between tainted and untainted canisters. Signal processing algorithms performed on the raw data from the sensors suggested that specific elastomeric components were responsible for the off-odor. A further experiment suggested that the propellant (Freon) extracted the odor from the elastomeric components as the medication was expelled from the canister. These data indicate that the electronic nose is a potential tool to solve odor problems in which human odor assessment is not feasible due to excess exposure to the medically active ingredient.}, number={2}, journal={Chemical Senses}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Schiffman, Susan S. and Kermani, Bahram G. and Nagle, H.Troy}, year={1997}, pages={119–128} }
