Patent number: 11925251Abstract: A system and method is provided for hair dye color conversion in which a hair dye color mixture of one manufacture is matched and reproduced using a hair dye color mixture of an another manufacture. The system and method duplicates a resultant hair color from a hair dye color mixture that was created using hair dye colors of a first hair dye color line using a different hair dye color mixture that was created using hair dye colors of a second hair dye color line. The system and method applies a modified Kubelka-Munk transformation of RGB values to the mathematical RGB data of the multiple hair dye colors for the first manufacturer color line, multiplies the modified KM transformed values of the multiple hair dye colors for the first manufacturer color line by their respective percentages and then summing them, and retransforms the summed modified KM transformed values of the multiple hair dye colors back into mathematical RGB values in the original RGB color space.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: SureTint Technologies, LLCInventors: Cody Z. Nash, Teresa Perkins Adams, Christopher Byrne, Elizabeth Christie

Patent number: 10250954Abstract: An electronics module for coupling to a module arrangement, in particular valve island, in a line-up direction, comprises a casing which comprises a front side, a back side, an upper side, a bottom side and two opposite lateral surfaces extending along the line-up direction in relation to a state mounted on the module arrangement. In the casing an electronics is accommodated and at least a first bus connection and two second bus connections are provided, which are connected to the electronics within the casing. The at least one first bus connection is arranged either on the upper side or on the bottom side, while a second bus connection is arranged on each of the lateral surfaces, respectively. A module assembly comprises a module arrangement, in particular a valve island, and an electronics module, wherein the electronics module directly abuts on the module arrangement in the line-up direction, and is detachably connected thereto in a non-destructive manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: BUERKERT WERKE GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 9746365Abstract: A control head of a fluid measuring device (20, 40) has an outer housing (32) which has a surrounding shell surface (34), an open face side formed by a first opening (50) and facing the device (20, 30), an opposite open face side formed by a second opening (52), and a lateral opening (36) in the shell surface (34). The second opening (52) and the lateral opening (36) have substantially the same opening cross-section. The control head further has first and second closure units (60, 62) which each include a cover and a surrounding luminous ring (66) positioned on a housing side of the cover, the covers of the first and second closure units (60, 62) each being adapted to be configured as a blind cover (64) or as an electronic display (68), and each closure unit (60, 62) being adapted to be releasably coupled to the outer housing (32) both at the second opening (52) and at the lateral opening (36) to close the respective opening (36, 52).Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2014Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Buerkert Werke GmbHInventors: Christopher Christie, Volker Haaf, Volker Ruff
