2662 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INSTRUMENTATION AND MEASUREMENT, VOL. 56, NO. 6, DECEMBER 2007 analog input may not be accessible when no linear transducers are avai<strong>la</strong>ble for this. It will be the case, for instance, with sensory neurons, which form a threshol<strong>de</strong>d all-or-nothing type of representation of an analog signal from the physical environment, bearing simi<strong>la</strong>rities with the representation by the present array of comparators [27], [29], [37]. This will also be the case with nano<strong>de</strong>vices with intrinsic nonlinearities and usable in building sensor microarrays [38]. The estimation ai<strong>de</strong>d by noise that we have <strong>de</strong>scribed in arrays can be specially relevant in these contexts of intrinsically nonlinear sensing networks. This can provi<strong>de</strong> a basis for <strong>de</strong>vising novel unconventional intelligent sensing arrays that are capable of exploiting the noise. REFERENCES [1] O. Kanoun and H. R.
