Engineering Aspects

of Olfaction

ABSTRACT

The biological components of vertebrate and invertebrate chemical sensing

systems are now becoming well understood in terms of their structure and

function. As a result, it is now possible to consider biomimetic models of

olfaction and how they may be translated into functional engineering devices.

This chapter outlines some of the development in sensor array technology that

can enable functional devices. The responses of individual odor sensors com-

bined into an array, where each sensor possesses slightly different response

selectivity and sensitivity toward the sample odors, when ...
