How does the ENose get its data library?
We “train” the ENose in the lab by exposing the sensors to the target analytes under various conditions. Data from that training is used to construct the data library. We also have developed a theoretical model of how sensors will respond to various types of chemicals, so we can calculate how the ENose will respond, or, if we have a signal from something new, we can calculate what may have caused it. Unfortunately, nothing works like it does on TV or in the movies. Our technology is good, and our computers are good, but we do not have access to magic.
