An Electronic Architecture for Multipurpose Artificial Noses

Figure 1

Common components of a module (actual layout may vary depending on the implementation). The bulk of a module is comprised of the hosted device, which is conditioned by the CPU and power unit to provide a certain functionality to the e-nose. The connectors (identical on both sides) interconnect all modules to a shared power and data bus.
