Abstract: This invention pertains to a system and methods for the production of color coatings gradients on a surface using a blender and applicator, sensors and to computer memory containing stored color gradient representation information to be used for color composition customization and for visually displaying alphanumeric data/information on 2D and 3D surfaces. This invention integrates gradient specific programmable computer digital processes to function as internal editors, manipulate information and present an operator with multiple options and production overrides. This invention will make data analysis more interactive by utilizing existing external software applications as editors and expanding the process of visual communications for multiple purposes.

Abstract: A method of creating solvent extraction reagent formulations that have high conductivity by combining (a) phenolic oxime extraction reagent(s) or other extraction reagent(s) in the organic phase of a solvent extraction circuit of a metal recovery operation, comprising combining the phenolic oxime extraction reagent(s) or other reagent(s) with one or more ketone, nitrile and/or amide compounds, or mixtures thereof, to create an extraction reagent formulation with a conductivity of at least 4,000 pS/m, measured according to the provisions of BS 5958 Part I, as well as a method of creating an organic phase that has a high conductivity, preferably a conductivity of at least 250 pS/m, comprising adding to that organic phase in an extraction circuit a phenolic oxime extraction reagent formulation with one or more ketoxime, aldoxime, mixtures thereof, or one or more other extraction reagents, and one or more ketone, nitrile, or amide compounds, or mixture thereof, and novel ketone, nitrile and amide compounds.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a color coatings blender apparatus to be used for color composition customization for the application of color coatings on 2D and 3D surfaces. The apparatus is comprised of a main body and interchangeable inserts all with central blender chambers and primary and secondary ports, and interchangeable spindles; the configurations of which are governed by coating technical characteristics. This invention integrates gradient specific programmable computer digital processes to function as internal editors, manipulate information and present the operator with multiple options and production overrides. This invention will make data analysis more interactive by utilizing existing external software applications as editors and expanding the process of visual communications for multiple purposes. While the blender apparatus, complete with external selectable appurtenances, can be used manually, it can also be combined with a programmable computer for producing physical gradient layers.
