    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 unit instead of a first correction function.

    Abstract: A method for characterizing an analyte A present in a gas sample using an electronic nose including M sensitive site, a parasitic chemical species P being present in the gas sample, the method include: a phase 100 of acquiring N first signatures, where N>1, of the gas samples containing the analyte A and the parasitic species P, the gas samples exhibiting deviations ΔcP(n) which differ from one gas sample to the next; a phase 200 of solving an optimization problem so as to obtain N corrected signatures, characterising the analyte A present in the N gas samples, from the N first signatures, by optimizing to objective functions.

    Abstract: An electronic device for assessing a state of a product likely to transform by emission of volatile organic compounds includes olfactory sensors, designed to provide signals representative of a presence of volatile organic compounds in the ambient air close to the product, and a processor for processing the provided signals to obtain a signature representative of the state of the product. It further includes a memory for storing a reference signature, representative of an exposure of the olfactory sensors to a reference humid environment in which the product is not present, and a computer which computes a similarity value for similarity between the signature representative of the state of the product and the reference signature, to provide a product transformation index value from the computed similarity value.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for characterizing target compounds using an analyzing system comprising a measurement chamber intended to receive the target compounds contained in a fluid sample and in which a plurality of separate sensitive sites each comprise receivers able to interact with the target compounds. The method includes supplying a fluid sample, determining a measurement signal Sk(ti) representative of the interactions between the target compounds and the receivers; computing a normed vector Sn(ti); and reiterating the determining and computing steps, while incrementing the measurement time, until a stability criterion is met, so as to obtain a characterization of the target compounds from the normed vector Sn(ti).

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating an electronic nose, said electronic nose comprising a plurality of optical sensors arranged on a surface and capable of being in contact with a gaseous medium of interest, said optical sensors being capable of delivering a signal representative of the local optical index of the gaseous medium of interest when they are excited by photons, the method being characterized in that it comprises the following steps: after having placed the electronic nose in a gaseous medium of interest at the initial pressure (P0) and the initial temperature (T0): a) sending photons in the direction of the sensors so as to excite said sensors; b) measuring the signal delivered by each of the sensors, this measurement providing as many responses as there are sensors; c) modifying the pressure and/or temperature of the gaseous medium of interest; d) repeating step b); and e) for each sensor, determining a correction factor such as a variation in the signal between steps d) and b) corrected by the correction factor either equal to or substantially equal to a variation in the signal between these same steps for a reference, said reference being provided by a reference sensor or a combination of reference sensors. Such a method allows a physical calibration, that in the present case is relative, to be performed between the different sensors.
