The electronic properties of doped single walled carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube sensors [PDF]
, 2014 We present ab initio calculations on the band structure and density of states of single wall semiconducting carbon nanotubes with high degrees (up to 25%) of B, Si and N substitution. The doping process consists of two phases: different carbon nanotubes (

Limited selectivity of amperometric gas sensors operating in multicomponent gas mixtures and methods of selectivity improvement [PDF]
Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences: Technical Sciences, 2020 In recent years, smog and poor air quality have become a growing environmental problem. There is a need to continuously monitor the quality of the air. The lack of selectivity is one of the most important problems limiting the use of gas sensors for this

Eddy current based, contactless position transducer for a gas handle [PDF]
, 2010 In electric vehicles, it is normal to have an electronic set value for 'gas' and for 'brake'. Traditional potentiometers with sliding contacts are not reliable. Magnetoresistive sensors or hall effect sensors need a magnet on the moving part.
