Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of NAUN Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

Abstract: A new approach to detection of the existence of unwanted odors after spraying the smart home and vehicular environment with perfumes is considered in the work. The approach is based on registering the response curve of an array of sensors to perfumes and to odors such as herbs, then using the proposed intersection algorithm to uncover the ability of the perfume to mask specific odors. Three odors (herbs) and three perfumes are tried and resulted in the ability of perfumes to mask two of the herbs, one deeper than the other. The response curve intersection technique (RCIT) provides the ability to unmask unwanted odor existence, thus forms the heart of the unmasking odor algorithms (UOA). Mathematical equations are used to prove the concept with digital logic is further used to support the presented algorithm. The research found that using the proposed technique, an odor masked by spraying of perfumes can be unmasked using the RCIT as the case in herb 3 presented in the work. The work also showed the unique curve shape for both perfumes and herbs and the fact that some herbs can be easily masked and hidden within the response of perfumes. In addition, it is shown that the perfumes response is much more complex compared to herbs
