Patent number: 8567455Abstract: In one embodiment there is provided a system for recalculating a formula previously used in preparing a mixture made from adding at least two components. The system includes a control apparatus and scale. The control apparatus has a memory for storing the mixture formula. The scale, in communication with the control apparatus, allows the control apparatus to monitor a weight on the scale, such that a final weight of the mixture is stored on the memory. When an end weight of the mixture, defined to be the final weight of the mixture previously prepared minus an amount used by a user, is positioned back on the scale and when the control apparatus receives a recalculation signal, the control apparatus calculates the amount used, recalculates the mixture based on the amount used, and stores a new mixture for subsequent use.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: SureTint Technologies, LLCInventors: Mitchell H.

Publication number: 20120127819Abstract: A system for manual storage and mixing of hair dye components to provide an operator the ability to create a hair dye mixture wherein the operator selects desired color from the color pallet, enters the required amount of finished dye, and the activator strength is selected. The operator is instructed to place an empty batch container on the scale. The system prompts the operator for the first dye color and an LED adjacent to the corresponding drawer is illuminated. The operator manually adds the amount indicated on the display panel while the scale monitors the added quantity and provides feedback for an extremely accurate dispense. After returning the bottle or tube to the designated storage bin, the operator presses ‘next’, and the next LED is illuminated along with the required amount of the next ingredient. Bar code readers can also be used to control the solution and process.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2009Publication date: May 24, 2012Applicant: THE SARANOW GROUP, LLCInventors: Mitchell H.

Patent number: 7963303Abstract: In one embodiment of the present system invention, the operator enters the customer name into the color management system and the computer screen displays the customer's history. If this is a new customer, a history file is created. The operator selects desired color from the color pallet, enters the required amount of finished dye and finally the activator strength is selected. The operator is instructed to place an empty batch container on the scale. The system prompts the operator for the first dye color, and an LED adjacent to the corresponding drawer is illuminated. The operator manually adds the amount indicated on the display panel, while the scale monitors exactly how much has been added and provides feedback to the operator leading to an extremely accurate dispense. After returning the bottle or tube to the designated storage bin, the operator presses “next”, and the next LED is illuminated along with the required amount of the next ingredient.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2009Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: The Saranow Group, LLCInventors: Mitchell H.
