| 20080232101 | System for Representing True Colors with Device-Dependent Colors on Surfaces and for Producing Paints and Coatings Matching the True Colors - An apparatus for displaying paint colors using device-dependent colors is disclosed. The apparatus has a wall portion sized and dimensioned to be substantially similar to a full size wall, and the device-dependent colors have color coordinates that are substantially similar to the color coordinates of paint colors. Lights displaying the device-dependent colors are diffused before illuminating the wall portion. A method for selecting paints using device-dependent colors is also disclosed. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090076786 | Method for Representing True Colors with Device-Dependent Colors on Surfaces and for Producing Paints and Coatings Matching the True Colors - A method for selecting paints is disclosed. This method includes the steps of selecting true paint colors, displaying device-dependent colors corresponding to the true paint colors in a simulated full size room and interacting with the buyers to change the displayed colors and select the desired colors. The method also includes the step of dispensing paints corresponding to the selected colors. The displayed colors are generated by multiple color and/or white LEDs to provide a wider gamut of displayable colors and more color saturation and chromatic. A full-size apparatus for displaying paint colors using device-dependent colors is also disclosed. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20100039444 | Color Notation System - According to one example embodiment described herein is a method of notating a color that includes determining, using predetermined mathematical equations and in dependence on numerical color attributes that identify a color, a plurality of numerical color emotion values each representative of a different human emotional response to the color; and assigning an identifying notation to the color, the identifying notation comprising a color emotion notation that includes the color emotion values. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100194775 | Color Selection System - Color selection and display methods and devices in which colors can be displayed according to color harmony and color emotion and feedback obtained on color emotion and color harmony evoked by selected color and/or color combinations. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100194776 | Color Selection System - Color selection and display methods and devices in which colors can be displayed according to color harmony and color emotion and feedback obtained on color emotion and color harmony evoked by selected color and/or color combinations. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100228511 | Method for managing metamerism of color merchandise - The present invention relates to a method for minimizing the effects of metamerism between a set of color standards (e.g., nitrocellulose lacquers) and inkjet printed color merchandise (e.g., paint chips) under a plurality of illuminants, including a balanced illuminant that emulates lighting conditions between cool (6500 K) and warm (2856 K) color temperatures. For each color standard, one selects an ink combination that best produces color merchandise having a minimal degree of metamerism. Innovatively, a combination of instrumental and visual tests is used to evaluate color difference for a set of color standards-color merchandise pairs under a plurality of illuminants. If a color standard-color merchandise pair fails either test then the ink combination may be adjusted. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20090168658 | Method and System of Testing Video Access Devices - A test controller operable to test a video access device can include a first port coupled to particular test equipment and a second port coupled to video access devices. Each video access device can include a wideband link and a test port. The particular test equipment and each of the video access devices can be remotely located as compared to one another. The test controller can include a processor that is operable to send a command to connect the test port of a first particular video access device of the video access devices to its corresponding wideband link, and establish connectivity between the test equipment and a second particular video access device of the video access devices. The test controller can be part of a system that includes methods used to test video access devices. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090178075 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DIAGNOSING A VIDEO CONDITION EXPERIENCED AT A CUSTOMER PREMISES - A test controller can be operable to diagnose a video condition experienced at a customer premises. The test controller can include a port coupled to the customer premises. The test controller can also include a processor operable to activate a diagnosis sequence, send a set of questions to equipment at the customer premises, and isolate a cause of the video condition to a portion of the network, in response to receiving test a video access device can include a first port coupled to particular test equipment and a second port coupled to video access devices. The test controller can be part of a system that includes methods used to diagnose the video condition experienced at the customer premises. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20110128880 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DIAGNOSING A VIDEO CONDITION EXPERIENCED AT A CUSTOMER PREMISES - A system and method for diagnosing video conditions experienced at one or more customer premises is disclosed. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, network device including a port coupled with a first customer premises over a network, a memory storing computer instructions, and a controller. The controller can execute the computer instructions for identifying a video condition experienced at the first customer premises where the video condition is associated with video content transmitted over the network, sending a first query to first equipment at the first customer premises, receiving first responses to the first query from the first equipment, sending a second query to second equipment at a second customer premises, receiving second responses to the second query from the second equipment, and associating a cause of the video condition with the first customer premises in response to receiving the second responses. Additional embodiments are disclosed. | 06-02-2011 |
