As a typical machine olfactory system index, the accuracy of hybrid gas identification and concentration detection is low. This paper proposes a novel hybrid gas identification and concentration detection method. In this method, Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) is employed to extract the nonlinear mixed gas characteristics of different components, and then K-nearest neighbour algorithm (KNN) classification modelling is utilized to realize the recognition of the target gas. In addition, this method adopts a multivariable relevance vector machine (MVRVM) to regress the multi-input nonlinear signal to realize the detection of the concentration of the hybrid gas. The proposed method is validated by using CO and CH4 as the experimental system samples. The experimental results illustrate that the accuracy of the proposed method reaches 98.33%, which is 5.83% and 14.16% higher than that of principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA), respectively. For the hybrid gas concentration detection method, the CO and CH4 concentration detection average relative errors are reduced to 5.58% and 5.38%, respectively.

Microelectronic gas-sensor devices were developed for the detection of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxides (NO2), ammonia (NH3) and formaldehyde (HCHO), and their gas-sensing characteristics in six different binary gas systems were examined using pattern-recognition methods. Four nanosized gas-sensing materials for these target gases, i.e., Pd-SnO2 for CO, In2O3 for NOX, Ru-WO3 for NH3, and SnO2-ZnO for HCHO, were synthesized using a sol-gel method, and sensor devices were fabricated using a microsensor platform. Principal component analysis of the experimental data from the microelectromechanical systems gas-sensor arrays under exposure to single gases and their mixtures indicated that identification of each individual gas in the mixture was successful. Additionally, the gas-sensing behavior toward the mixed gas indicated that the traditional adsorption and desorption mechanism of the n-type metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) governs the sensing mechanism of the mixed gas systems.

The water purification process is becoming increasingly important to ensure the continuity and quality of subsequent production processes, and it is particularly relevant in pharmaceutical contexts. However, in this context, the difficulties arising during the monitoring process are manifold. On the one hand, the monitoring process reveals various discontinuities due to different characteristics of the input water. On the other hand, the monitoring process is discontinuous and random itself, thus not guaranteeing continuity of the parameters and hindering a straightforward analysis. Consequently, further research on water purification processes is paramount to identify the most suitable techniques able to guarantee good performance. Against this background, this paper proposes an application of kernel principal component analysis for fault detection in a process with the above-mentioned characteristics. Based on the temporal variability of the process, the paper suggests the use of past and future matrices as input for fault detection as an alternative to the original dataset. In this manner, the temporal correlation between process parameters and machine health is accounted for. The proposed approach confirms the possibility of obtaining very good monitoring results in the analyzed context.

In the paper the procedure of processing biomechanical data has been proposed. It consists of selecting proper noiseless data, preprocessing data by means of model’s identification and Kernel Principal Component Analysis and next classification using decision tree. The obtained results of classification into groups (normal and two selected pathology of gait: Spina Bifida and Cerebral Palsy) were very good.
