Краткая история искусственного распознавания запахов: от разработок Figaro Engineering до машинного обучения

Полупроводниковые приборы довольно быстро внедрились во все области науки и техники, путь, а начатые в 1940-е годы исследования влияния газов на электрофизические характеристики полупроводников поставили на повестку дня и обратную задачу – определения газов по изменению этих характеристик полупроводника, и это заняло гораздо больше времени. Первопроходцем здесь считается японский изобретатель Наёси Тагучи. Основанная им компания Figaro Engineering Inc. с 1969 года начала производство и продажу газовых детек Read more
