  • Device for sensorial evaluation of consumer product application feel
    Patent number: 10303842
    Abstract: A product testing assembly is described. The product testing assembly may include a substrate, at least one measuring device, and at least one data processing system. The substrate has at least one surface configured to receive an application of a product to be tested. The at least one measuring device is configured to sense measured quantities as product is applied to the substrate and output one or more signals representative of a sequence of forces and/or moments being applied to the surface of the substrate by the application of the product to be tested. The at least one data processing system has one or more processors configured to receive the one or more signals representative of the sequence of forces and/or moments being applied to the surface of the substrate, and to convert the one or more signals into an output signal representative of one or more application performance characteristics of the product to be tested.
