B8 reports that 11 \ Cyrano Sciences Inc. of Pasadena CA USA plans to develop four 12 \ chips each having 8 vapor sensors for a total of 32 sensors. 13 \ Other artificial nose companies are Alpha M.O.S. SA of France; 14 \ Neotronics Scientific Ltd. and AromaScan PLC of England. 15 \ OLFACTION will return to the SENSORIUM function. --------------------------------
