AbstractWe report here on the results of a study on the response of copper oxide based low-power MEMS thermally modulated gas sensor to low ppm levels of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in a hydrogen environment. It was found that by using this material with a method of transient frequency analysis, this resistive gas sensor can operate reliably in a harsh environment including hydrogen atmosphere and high humidity levels. We implemented a Bayesian method for data analysis to predict the concentration of H2S in hydrogen supplies used in fuel cells.

Infrared Non‐Invasive Exhaled Biomarker Sensing: A Review

“…[ 121 ] Portable thermopile‐based NDIR gas detectors for acetone and ammonia was demonstrated with the detection range from 50 to 200 ppm and 10 to 20 ppm respectively. [ 19 ] Pyroelectric‐based low‐cost optical e‐nose was fabricated [ 80 ] for the detection of six different chemicals using an array of sensors. The fabricated sensors show < 1 ppm sensitivity and high selectivity, achieved by using a Fabri Perot filter.…”

Real-Time Thermal Modulation of High Bandwidth MOX Gas Sensors for Mobile Robot Applications

“…By doing so, those high-bandwidth sensors can respond in 2 s or possibly even less without any stabilization period beforehand. This technique has been previously reported [ 11 , 12 ] as a technique to enhance MOX sensor performance. However, studies to implement this technique in real time on robots for instant indications are limited.…”
