Noze
What was Noze's first company name?
Sensing Dynamics
Digital olfaction systems emulate this complex biological system in the human body.
What is the olfactory system
Noze’s sensors are based on conducting polymers, which are also used in this type of organic electronic display technology.
OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode)
This gas makes up most of the Earth's atmosphere.
nitrogen
This playwright wrote both Hamlet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
William Shakespeare
Noze’s core technology is based on sensor tech originally developed at this U.S. space agency.
NASA
Noze’s proprietary AI models analyze chemical signatures using algorithms trained on this type of machine learning.
Supervised learning
The sensor technology Noze uses was originally developed to detect trace elements of these in space missions.
Chemical leaks or volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
This part of the brain is responsible for smell processing.
olfactory bulb
This author created the famous detective Sherlock Holmes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Noze’s digital smell technology uses AI to analyze patterns of airborne chemicals, which it refers to as this.
scentprints®
In the field of chemical sensing, this term refers to the complete set of volatile compounds emitted by an object or environment.
Volatilome
Noze’s AI models depend on a continuously growing dataset of odor fingerprints, also known by this branded term.
Scentprints®
The rate at which gas particles collide in a sensor chamber is governed by this physical law.
the ideal gas law
In Greek mythology, this figure was punished by being forced to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity.
Sisyphus
In 2021, Noze was selected for this prestigious Canadian innovation program that supports scaling deep-tech companies.
What is the Creative Destruction Lab (CDL)
This unit of measurement, used in gas detection, quantifies extremely low concentrations of odor-causing compounds.
Parts per billion (ppb) or parts per trillion (ppt)
Noze's integration of sensor hardware and AI allows it to move beyond detection into these two types of real-time analysis.
Identification and pattern recognition
In signal processing and AI models, this mathematical tool transforms data from the time domain to the frequency domain.
Fourier transform
This ancient city is home to the Library of Ashurbanipal, considered the oldest known library.
Nineveh
Noze’s patented sensor platform was originally inspired by the need to detect trace chemicals in this extreme environment, where human olfaction is not possible.
What is outer space
The ability to recognize and classify complex odors relies on models similar to these neural networks, inspired by the brain.
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs)
The ability to miniaturize Noze's tech into portable devices involves breakthroughs in these two branches of engineering.
Microelectronics and materials science
This law, named after a 19th-century chemist, relates gas concentration to partial pressure in breath analysis.
Henry's Law
This 20th-century mathematician was famously portrayed in A Beautiful Mind.
John Nash
