1. A gas-sensitive apparatus comprising(a) first, second, third and fourth groups of sensor elements wherein no member of one group of sensor elements is a member of any other group of sensor elements;
- (b) a first electrode that contacts each member of the first group of sensor elements;
(c) a second electrode that contacts one member of each of the four groups of sensor elements;
(d) a third electrode that contacts each member of the second group of sensor elements;
(e) a fourth electrode that contacts a member of the second group of sensor elements that is different from the member contacted by the second electrode, and a member of the third group of sensor elements that is different from the member contacted by the second electrode;
(f) a fifth electrode that contacts each member of the third group of sensor elements;
(g) a sixth electrode that contacts each member of the fourth group of sensor elements;
(h) a seventh electrode that contacts a member of the first group of sensor elements that is different from the member contacted by the second electrode;
(i) an eighth electrode that contacts a member of the second group of sensor elements that is different from the member contacted by the second electrode;
(j) a ninth electrode that contacts a member of the third group of sensor elements that is different from the member contacted by the second electrode; and
(k) a tenth electrode that contacts a member of the fourth group of sensor elements that is different from the member contacted by the second electrode.
