Enhancement of gas sensors sensitivity for non-destructive testing in industrial processes

目前，InspecTech公司在其气体监测系统中使用传统的气体传感器。具体来说，旨在检测一氧化碳的气体监测系统最近报告了其他非一氧化碳气体存在的假警报，这对该公司的许多客户来说都是有问题的。一氧化碳是一种剧毒、易燃、无色、无味的气体。该研究项目旨在研究使用先进的信号处理技术来识别一氧化碳相关特征的潜力，以提高InspectTech公司生产的一氧化碳传感器的灵敏度，从而消除此类传统传感器的误报。这项研究项目的结果对加拿大来说非常重要，因为它将提高现有气体传感器技术的灵敏度，这不仅将提高该部门的安全性，而且还将通过改进对剧毒气体的检测使加拿大房主和加拿大工业人员受益。

At present, InspecTech Inc. uses conventional gas sensors within their gas monitoring systems. Specifically, the gas monitoring system that aims to detect Carbon monoxide has recently reporting false alarms in the presence of other non-Carbone monoxide gases which have been problematic to many of the company's customers. Carbon monoxide is a highly toxic, flammable, colorless and odorless gas. This proposed research project aims to investigate the potential of using advanced signal processing techniques to uniquely identify the features associated with the Carbone monoxide to improve the sensitivity of the Carbone monoxide sensor produced by InspectTech Inc. and hence eliminating the false alarms of such conventional sensors. The outcome of this research project is of high importance to Canada as it will improve the sensitivity of existing gas sensors technologies which will not only enhance the safety of the this sector but will also benefit the Canadian home owners and the Canadian industry personnel through improving the detection of highly toxic gases.
