20090274827 | COLOR FORMULATION SELECTION PROCESS WITH VISUAL DISPLAY - A computer-implemented method of repairing a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes steps of estimating the cost of performing repairs to a damaged vehicle and determining a refinish paint formulation for refinishing a vehicle by conducting a computer-based search for a refinish paint formulation that best matches the vehicle's original finish prior to performing the repair work on the vehicle, where the repair work comprises performing any body work, mechanical systems work and/or electrical systems work and refinishing the vehicle. | 11-05-2009 |
20120170836 | WEB-BASED COLOR SELECTION SYSTEM - An apparatus includes a database having a plurality of digital color images and a neutral gray background value for each of the images; a processor configured to receive search criteria and to identify one or more of the digital color images meeting the search criteria; and a display configured to display at least one of the identified digital color images on a neutral gray background, wherein the brightness of the neutral gray background is determined by the neutral gray background value for the image being displayed. A method performed by the apparatus is also provided. | 07-05-2012 |
20140186633 | Color Match Verification of Multi-Layer Coatings Utilizing Precoated Color Chips - Precoated color chips having a reference colored basecoat and at least one reference effect appearance midcoat partially covering a portion of the basecoat are used to verify the colors of multi-layer automotive coatings when they are applied to automotive components. Visual characteristics of multi-layer automotive coatings may be verified by comparing an applied colored basecoat to the corresponding reference colored basecoat of the precoated color chips, followed by comparing an applied effect appearance midcoat to the corresponding reference effect appearance midcoat of the precoated color chips. Methods of making the precoated color chips are also disclosed. | 07-03-2014 |

20090026760 | HOSE COUPLING ASSEMBLY - A hose coupling assembly for attachment to a hose having an inner surface and an outer surface. The hose coupling assembly includes a first member (e.g., a nipple) and second member (e.g., a socket). The nipple includes a tapered outer surface, an outwardly facing groove extending inwardly from the tapered outer surface, and a set of external threads disposed rearward of the tapered outer surface. An annular seal is positioned within the groove. The socket includes a nipple receiving portion and a hose receiving portion secured to the outer surface of the hose, where the nipple receiving portion has a set of internal threads configured to mesh with and threadingly engage the external threads on the nipple. Upon insertion of the nipple into the nipple receiving portion of the socket and the subsequent threading of the external threads of the nipple into the internal threads in the socket, the annular seal on the nipple sealingly engages the inner surface of the hose. | 01-29-2009 |
