The figure depicts selected aspects of a "smart" microelectronic-based hazardous-gas-detection system that simultaneously measures concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike conventional gas-leak-detection systems built around mass spectrometers, this system is not restricted to operation in relatively mild and controlled laboratory or shop environments; instead, this system can operate over a range of temperatures and pressures. Also, in comparison with conventional mass-spectrometer-based leak-detection systems, this system is more robust and compact, weighs less, and consumes less power.
