Summary: The aim of this research is to investigate low-power circuit concepts for the hardware implementation of an adaptively controlled stimulator for future retinal implants. The paper presents the implementation of an analog spike detection circuit to detect spikes from extracellular recordings and to perform electrode individual firing-rate measurements in a spatially high-density electrode array.

Summary: In this study, sensors based on SnO2-TiO2 and SnO2-MoO3 composites were synthesized and characterized for the identification of adulteration or counterfeiting of Peruvian Pisco. The most sensitive sensors showed an enhanced response to alcoholic samples with higher ethanol content, while the response intensity decreased with increased methanol content. Differences in the composition of methanol and ethanol in different Pisco varieties correlated with the sensors' ability to differentiate them. SnO2-TiO2-1/2 composites exhibited greater reproducibility over time compared to other composites. Principal component analysis (PCA) results showed that composite sensors could effectively differentiate Pisco samples according to their varieties.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel visual gas sensing technology based on optical absorption gas sensing technology and spatial heterodyne spectroscopy. This technology presents invisible gas information in the form of a two-dimensional visual fingerprint and successfully detects NO2 in a laboratory environment for the first time. Experimental results show that this technology has good response to different spectra and concentrations of NO2, laying a foundation for gas sensing applications.

Summary: This paper presents the application of an in-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) for monitoring coffee bean fermentation. Two MZIs, based on a combination of a fiber taper cascaded by a micro-tapered long-period fiber grating, were installed in a fermentation barrel to monitor the liquids and gases released during the fermentation process. The research demonstrates that in-fiber MZIs are promising optical noses for this scenario.

Summary: A neuromorphic module of an electronic nose is demonstrated using a chemoresistive gas sensor and a single transistor neuron. It simultaneously detects gases and encodes spike signals, mimicking the biological olfactory system. An analysis of the mixed signals using a spiking neural network allows the identification of odor sources. This approach eliminates the need for conversion circuits and reduces power consumption compared to traditional electronic noses.

Summary: Electronic tongue and electronic nose play important roles in food quality and safety. They are widely used in food production and have a high accuracy in predicting food quality. The combination of electronic tongue and electronic nose has better performance compared to using them separately.

Summary: The risk of mycotoxin contamination in the feed supply chain poses a concern to animal and human health, economy, and international trade of agri-food commodities. This review discusses the use of electronic nose (e-nose) as an effective tool for rapid mycotoxin detection and management of mycotoxin risk at the feed business level. While e-nose has high discrimination accuracy for single-mycotoxin-contaminated grain, its predictive accuracy is still limited for in-field application where mycotoxin co-contamination occurs. Further research is needed to improve sensor materials, data analysis, pattern recognition systems, and understand the needs of the feed industry for safety and quality management.

Summary: An electronic nose is a measuring instrument that mimics human olfaction and outputs 'fingerprint' information of mixed gases or odors. It consists of a gas sensing system and an information processing system. Over the years, it has evolved from large and costly instruments to portable, low cost devices with low power consumption.

Summary: This study demonstrates that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in blood serum can accurately distinguish COVID-19 patients, providing a new method for disease diagnosis. The analysis of more than 100 different VOCs showed that the pattern of abundances of 17 compounds could identify COVID-19 from non-COVID with an accuracy of 89%. The combination of GC/MS analysis and gas sensor array achieved an accuracy of 89% in distinguishing COVID-19 patients.

Summary: The study introduces a local manifold embedding cross-domain subspace learning (LME-CDSL) model that combines manifold learning and domain adaptation to address the gas sensor drift problem. By aligning domain distributions, the model aims to explore a latent transform matrix that can effectively handle drifted target domain data while preserving non-drifted source domain data.

Summary: The whisky market is prone to fraudulent activities, and it is challenging for most consumers to distinguish fraudulent beverages. A new electronic nose prototype called NOS.E has been developed to identify the differences between whiskies based on their odour. This study demonstrates the high accuracy of the proposed e-nose solution in brand name, region, and style classification, which was further validated using GC x GC-TOFMS.
