Abstract: An interactive retail identification system for identifying a retail object based upon known or identified features of master object is disclosed, wherein the system utilizes a graphical user interface having a computer display screen for displaying a plurality of input fields related to a retail object and an input device for selecting variables based upon a physical inspection of a known master object having known or identifiable features. The graphical user interface is electronically connected to a database which identifies a specific retail object equivalent to the master object through comparison of the retail object variables. The systems includes a plurality of compartments for holding retail objects based upon the retail object variables and an indicator for identifying the compartment having the retail object is provided.

Abstract: Encapsulated colorants for waterborne coating compositions are provided as a system and kit with a method for tinting the water borne coating compositions. The encapsulated colorant comprises at least one water dispersible tinting material to be released into the based coating composition upon dissolution of the encapsulating layer to give the coating composition color. The encapsulating layer surrounding the colorant has at least one polymer that is soluble in aqueous medium surrounding the tinting material wherein the layer has a thickness from about 0.5 to about 5 mils and can dissolve to release the dispersible tinting material in an aqueous coating composition having about 25 to about 45 volume percent solids and about 55 to about 75 volume percent water in less than 15 minutes with agitation at a temperature in the range of about 50 to about 110° F.
