    Abstract: A method for recalibrating an electronic nose includes successively injecting, into a measurement chamber, reference gases that do not contain target compounds and that have various values of relative humidity. A measurement signal is determined in the course of each injection. Then, for each reference gas, a baseline is determined, which baseline is representative of the determined measurement signal. The baseline is also associated with the relative humidity of the reference gas present. A second correction function is determined on the basis of the determined baselines and of the predetermined values of relative humidity. The second correction function is then stored in a processing uni instead of a first correction function.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for characterising, by means of an electronic nose, the release kinetics of odorous compounds from a sample, comprising the following series of steps: (a) supplying a sample; (b) at a time t1, exposing the sensor array of the electronic nose to some of the gaseous medium comprising the odorous compounds released from the sample, and processing the response emitted by the sensor array of the electronic nose, after said exposure, in the form of a signal; and (c) repeating step (b) at least once, at a time t2 different from the time t1, whereby an olfactory kinetic signature characterising the sample is obtained. The present invention also relates to the use of this method for anti-counterfeiting and/or quality control purposes and for generating a data bank or database of temporal olfactory signatures. The present invention finally relates to certain devices used when implementing such methods.

    Abstract: A device includes capture sites; an imaging system for imaging the capture sites; a memory that stores a map of the capture sites including capture site shapes having respective predefined positions in the map and to be placed on an image of the capture sites, at a predefined position and in a predefined orientation so that the capture site shapes respectively indicate the areas of the image occupied by the capture sites; and a module for detecting an odor from an image of the capture sites and the map. The device includes an update module for obtaining an image of the capture sites, for determining, in the image, real areas respectively occupied by the capture sites, for determining, on the basis of the real areas, a correction of the position and/or of the orientation of the overlay of the map; and for updating the position and/or orientation of the overlay.

    Abstract: A method implemented by a computer processing circuit connected to an electronic nose, for identifying a given item by an olfactory signature, the method making use of the electronic nose to obtain an olfactory signature, repeating the use of the electronic nose a first number K of times in order to acquire K olfactory signatures, making use of the computer processing circuit in order to estimate, on the basis of the K olfactory signatures, a model of the olfactory signature of the given item, acquiring, with an electronic nose of the same type, a current measurement of the olfactory signature of a current item of the same type as the given item, and comparing the current measurement to the model, in order to estimate a similarity (SIM) between the current item and the given item.
