Method and system for gathering a library of response patterns for sensor arrays
This patent describes a method of gathering a library of response patterns for one or more sensor arrays for use in the detection and identification of the chemical components of a fluid, each of the sensor arrays including a plurality of sensors having differing electrical responses to at least one component or derivative thereof. It comprises: providing a sample of fluid with time-space separation of several known components; dividing the sample into a plurality of n parallel streams, passing the first of the parallel streams through the first of a plurality of sensor arrays; simultaneous conditioning of the second through the n-th parallel stream; providing, in succession, second through n-th samples of fluid with time-spaced separation of known components; dividing each of the second through n-th samples into a plurality of n parallel streams, passing one of the parallel streams from each of the second through n-th samples in succession, simultaneously conditioning each of the remaining parallel streams from each of the second through n-th samples; and organizing the responses to the time-spaced components into respective libraries of response patterns corresponding to each of the sensor arrays of use in the detection and identification of the chemical components.
