Abstract

A method for correcting an output from an electrochemical cell sensor, having an output responsive to a concentration of sensed species in a stream, a pressure and a temperature in an interactive non-linear relationship, comprising the steps of providing a pressure sensor for producing an output responsive to a pressure in proximity to the electrochemical sensor; providing a temperature sensor for producing an output responsive to a temperature of said electrochemical sensor; and processing the outputs of the electrochemical sensor, pressure sensor and temperature sensor in a neural network having an output function which compensates said electrochemical sensor for changes in pressure and temperature to indicate a concentration of the sensed species. An apparatus is also provided, for compensating an electrochemical sensing apparatus, comprising an electrochemical sensor, being responsive to a sensed species, and an environmental variable; an environmental variable sensor, being responsive to said environmental variable; and a compensation network for producing a compensated output based on an output of said electrochemical sensor based and an output of said environmental variable sensor, said network comprising a neural network.
