ABSTRACT:
An intangible sensor for measuring intangible properties of a substance and a method for making the sensor is described. The intangible sensor may be embodied in a mapping neural network model. The intangible sensor herein is a device that quantitatively measures complex intangible properties of a sample of a substance. The term intangible implies a subjective connotation such as in the taste, creaminess or softness of a substance or product and therefore can only be subjectively defined. Although an intangible property is known to be a function of certain measurable physical properties of a substance, there are no known definitions of this function. The intangible sensor herein can implement this function simply without having any detailed knowledge of or making any analysis of the function.
