Abstract: A color measurement system includes a hand held color measurement instrument, which may be provided with a wireless interface to a computer. The color measurement system includes a scanning guide for holding the hand held color measurement instrument in proper alignment with a color target. The scanning guide includes a calibration reference to allow convenient calibration of the hand-held color measurement instrument. The hand-held color instrument includes an illumination ring to provide visual feedback to the user. The color of the illumination ring changes in order to display a color similar to that being read by the hand-held color measurement instrument. Color management profiling of the hand held color measurement instrument illumination ring improves the color rendition capability of the illumination ring.

Abstract: A reactor core includes a plurality of laminations of trapezoidal shape forming the legs of the core. These legs are arranged in generally rectangular configuration with air gaps provided at the corners of the core. These air gaps extend diagonally of the core legs and are formed between the inclined faces of adjacent ends of the trapezoidal-shaped core legs. End plates each having a longitudinal section extending parallel to and fixed to one of the legs and having flanges at each end of the longitudinal section extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal section are provided for maintaining the legs of the core in assembled relation and for effecting adjustment of the air gaps. The end plates include elongated openings in the flanges thereof for permitting movement of each of the end plates, and the leg to which it is affixed, relative to the remainder of the core for varying the size of the diagonal air gaps.
