  • Publication number: 20060095359
    Abstract: A method and a computer arrangement, more particularly a data base module, for the determination of an RoH value, dependent on non-monetary factors of a company, as related to a monetary value of the company, which includes, means for the determination of a human capital factor as a first non-monetary factor on the basis of competence characteristics and/or satisfaction characteristics of persons employed by the company, means for the determination of a relationship capital factor as a second non-monetary factor on the basis of at least one relation characteristic for a company-internal relation characteristic and/or for a company-external relation, means for the determination of a structural capital factor as a third non-monetary factor in a manner dependent on at least one structural characteristic dependent on the structure of the company, and means for the determination of the RoH value in a manner dependent on the first, second and third non-monetary factors and on a material value and/or a capitalized v

  • Patent number: 6064487
    Abstract: Process for calculating colour formulations of pigmented special-effect shades wherein i) for each pigment on which a colorant system is based a set of calibration panels is created, and the associated reflection factors are determined experimentally, ii) from the measured reflection factors for each pigment on which the colorant system is based, the optical material parameters are determined using a radiation transport model to describe the diffusion of light in particulate media, iii) from all the platelet-like special-effect pigments on which the colorant system is based and in each case a fixed quantity of one or more colouristically inert topology-influencing fillers, so-called pseudopigments are formed whose optical material parameters are likewise determined by way of a calibration scale, iv) and, the formulation components and pigments and/or associated pseudopigments from a colorant system being specified, the reflection spectra of a special-effect shade which is to be rematched are simulated mathema

  • Patent number: 5929998
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for matching a color formulation to a color shade model in the field of a color- and/or effect-imparting surface coating. The reflecting surface of a color shade, which is to be rematched, of a colored surface coating is determined metrologically over the visible spectral region using a goniometric spectral photometer with variation of the angle of measurement. The associated standard tristimulus values and/or the vectors in the CIELAB color solid which are derived therefrom are calculated from the measured reflection factors or spectral energy factors. Those formulations and/or color shades which exhibit reflection properties or properties derived therefrom which are the most similar to the measured color shade model are subsequently identified from a formulation database by means of the reflection spectra or the calorimetric dimensional numbers derived therefrom.
