Abstract:
A computer implemented method. The method includes performing at least one of a visual evaluation and an instrument measurement of a target coating on a target sample to generate colorimetric information, and identifying, using a processor, a bulk toner that is present in the target coating by determining a color and a color intensity at different viewing angles relative to the target sample. The method also includes identifying, using the processor, at least one specific toner that is present in the target coating by detecting a presence and an orientation of colored and/or non-colored pigmentation effects that are present in the target coating, and outputting, using the processor, a formulation of the target coating that includes at least the at least one specific toner.

Claim (Index 13):
An apparatus for evaluating colorimetric and physical property attributes of cured complex coating mixtures, the apparatus comprising:\n means for receiving data from spectrophotometer measurement of a target coating on a target sample to generate colorimetric information; and means for identifying a bulk toner that is present in the target coating, wherein identifying the bulk toner comprises:\n detecting a presence and an orientation of colored and/or non-colored pigmentation effects that are present in the target coating, \n receiving an in-plane spectrophotometer measurement of one or more first colors of the target coating at a single in-plane angle, \n receiving an out-of-plane spectrophotometer measurement of one or more second colors of the target coating at a single out-of-plane angle, \n comparing data from the in-plane spectrophotometer measurement and data from the out-of-plane spectrophotometer measurement to data within a database that comprises information for each bulk toner, \n identify that the one or more first colors, which are measured from the single in-plane angle, are not within a particular tolerance of the one or more second colors, which are measured from the single out-of-plane angle, and \n based upon the difference between the one or more first colors, which are measured from the single in-plane angle, and the one or more second colors, which are measured from the single out-of-plane angle, determine that aluminum flake bulk toners or pearl bulk toners are present in the target coating based on a comparison of the single in-plane angle and single out-plane angle at specific angles.
