Electronic nose<br />

Electronic sensing refers to capability of<br />

reproducing human senses using sensor<br />

arrays and pattern recognition systems.<br />

Electronic nose is an Electronic Sensor. It<br />

identifies the specific components of an<br />

odor and analyses its chemical makeup to<br />

identify it. An odor is composed of<br />

molecules. Each of these molecules has a<br />

correspondingly sized and shaped receptor in<br />

the human nose. When a specific receptor<br />

receives a molecule, it sends a signal to the<br />

brain and the brain identifies the smell<br />

associated with that particular molecule.<br />

Electronic noses based on the biological model<br />

work in a similar manner, substituting sensors<br />

for the receptors, and transmitting the signal to<br />

a program for processing, rather than to the<br />

brain.<br />

Applications:<br />

<br />

<br />

Electronic noses such as the Cyranose<br />

320 can help grape growers pinpoint<br />

harvest dates to make a better product<br />

for consumers.<br />

Smart Home Security-Cocoon<br />

The present smart security devices in the<br />

market at the moment, tend to be relatively<br />

simple, combining motion detection with an<br />

Internet connected camera alerts a user with<br />

smart phone apps to detect an intruder. A new<br />

device-Cocoon that uses 'infrasound' (sound<br />

below that of human hearing) a sub sound<br />

technology which is outside the range of normal<br />

human hearing to detect movement by listening<br />

to things people can't hear was developed.<br />

With this new security device, we have set<br />

about correcting the main problem with<br />

existing sensors, where there are way too many<br />

false alarms triggered by the suburban sound<br />

track .Humans hear within the range from 20Hz<br />

to 20kHz.<br />

Cocoon<br />

uses a<br />

powerful<br />

microphone<br />

to detect<br />

infrasound<br />

and this sub<br />

sound<br />

technology combines sound wave detection<br />

(audible and infrasound) with digital profiling<br />

and machine learning. Sub sound technology<br />

enables Cocoon to detect and make sense of<br />

the noises created by activity throughout the<br />

home so it can notify you if anything unusual<br />

happens. A key benefit of sub sound technology<br />
