Artificial sense

On the other hand, pattern recognition tools are widely employed for processing data in the field of electronic tongues and, more generally, of artificial senses. Nowadays, a large number of chemometric techniques, which are schematized in Fig. 2.7, are available, giving the... 

Amino acids are generally classified into several groups which correspond to each characteristic taste. Since amino acids show mixed tastes as above, the taste interactions such as synergistic effect and repression effect are automatically included in their taste. The taste sensor should express this situation. The present study is the first trial to study the taste of amino acids using artificial sensing devices. 

Chemical sensor market can be considered as a part of a wider market of artificial sensing. The BBC Research (http //www.bccresearch.com) forecasts an annual growth rate 4.6% for commercial and medical sensing applications between 2007 and 2012 in a global market overview.

The development of integrated arrays of broad range recognition elements (in combination with multivariate analysis) is an important stepping stone on the path towards creating artificial sensing devices. 

The term chemical sensor stems not merely from the demand for artificial sensing organs. Indeed, chemical expertise was necessary to design chemical sensors. Such expertise is the subject of analytical chemistry in its modern, instrumental form. Initially, chemists hesitated to deal with sensors, but later... 

When this book appeared in German, its main task was to bridge the gap between the traditional ways of thinking of scientists and engineers. The differences in how scientists and engineers think stem from the fact that chemical sensors may be interpreted, on the one hand, as a kind of artificial sense organ developed by engineers to equip automatic machines. On the other hand, chemical sensors are not unlike the other myriad small analytical instruments common in analytical chemistry.
