Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory machine readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon for encoding a method configured for creating and using a database, the database comprising:
a digital signature of a smell comprising a smell data, wherein the smell data comprises a response signal that is a function of a first data corresponding to a material type generating the response signal and a second data corresponding to a stimulus for generating the response signal;
a smell condition data associated with the smell data, wherein the smell condition data comprises a condition under which the smell data was generated; and
an index for the smell data;
wherein the smell data is stored in a data structure on a computer readable storage medium that is associated with a computer executable program code; and
wherein the data structure comprises the smell data arranged in at least one of a computer-readable matrix and a heat-map format;
wherein the response signal is a measurable response of the generator to the stimulus that is a function of change in electrical properties of resistance or impedance in the generator;
wherein a sample smell is analyzed by comparing with the smell data in the database using the computer executable program code; and
wherein the method is configured for identifying an unknown smell.
