Handbook of Machine Olfaction [German]

"Electronic noses" are instruments which mimic the sense of smell. Consisting of olfactory sensors and a suitable signal processing unit, they are able to detect and distinguish odors precisely and at low cost. This makes them very useful for a remarkable variety of applications in the food and pharmaceutical industry, in environmental control or clinical diagnostics and more. The scope covers biological and technical fundamentals and uptodate research. Contributions by renowned international scientists as well as applicationoriented news from successful "enose" manufacturers give a wellrounded account of the topic, and this coverage from R&D to applications makes this book a musthave read for enose researchers, designers and users alike.
