Sensors Update presents cutting edge information about the development of sensors. Each volume in the series addresses current developments in materials, design production, and potential application areas. This volume also includes signal detection and processing, new sensing principles, market trends and patent information.
The book comprises seven chapters divided into three sections. The first part discusses sensor technology and includes three chapters that address “Self‐assembled monolayers on gold for applications in chemical sensing”, “Optical and electrochemical transducers based on functionalized conjugated polymers” and “Nanoliter droplet behaviour in micromachined wells”.
Part 2, on sensor applications, addresses “Knowledge extraction from electronic nose data sets using hybrid neuro‐fuzzy systems”, “Lateral and vertical hall microsystems” and a “Multi‐functional active catheter”.
The final part of the book, on sensor market, includes one chapter which discusses “Biosensor microsystems”.
Overall, this is an informative reference text that is suitable for academics, researchers, scientists, engineers, and developers and distributors of sensors and sensor systems.
