Mix-to-mimic odor synthesis for electronic noses

D O Arrays of chemical sensors, known as electronic noses, yield a unique pattern for a given mixture of odors. Recently, there has been increasing nterest in trying to mix odors such as to generate a desired response in the electronic nose. For the time being, this intriguing problem had been ackled only experimentally with the aid of specific apparatus. Here, we present an algorithmic solution to the problem. We demonstrate the lgorithm on data that includes mixtures of up to five ingredients. 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
