The present invention is directed to a monitoring device for producing a target composition, such as an automotive paint or an architectural paint. The device includes a client computer in communication with a host computer and means for dispensing required items for making a desired amount of the target composition. The computer readable program code means in the computers identify one or more formulas associated with identification criteria of the target composition and dispense through means for dispensing the required items listed in the formula. The code means search for the required items in the various inventories, including updating the inventories if required. The device can be also used to control the inventory by shipping just in time any components required to produce target compositions, such as refinish tints used in automotive refinish paints.

Monitoring device used for producing compositions

The present invention is directed to a process for monitoring production of a target composition, such as an automotive paint or an architectural paint and a monitoring device used therein. The process includes (a) identifying one or more formulas associated with identification criteria of the target composition, the formula providing a required inventory for making a desired amount of the target composition; (b) generating a current inventory; (c) terminating the process if the current inventory does not match with a stored inventory; or (d) continuing the process if the current inventory matches with the stored inventory. The process further comprises (d1) comparing the current inventory against the required inventory to ascertain whether said current inventory fulfills said required inventory; (d2) generating a supplementary inventory if the current inventory partially fulfills the required inventory; (d3) dispensing required items listed in the required inventory from current items listed in the current inventory, supplementary items listed in the supplementary inventory, or a combination thereof to make the desired amount of the target composition; and (d4) generating an updated inventory. The process can be also used to control the inventory by shipping just in time any components required to produce target compositions, such as refinish tints used in automotive refinish paints.

Process for monitoring production of compositions

A process of media milling employing a mill having a magnetic circuit of magnetic impellers (11) on a shaft (12), magnetized media, and a magnetizable outer shell (10).

Process of magnetic media milling

Media mill (1) having a magnetic circuit of magnetic impellers (11) on a shaft (12), magnetized media, and a magnetizable outer shell (10) which provides improved efficiency. The impellers (43) are magnetized by being sandwiched between at least two permanent magnets (45) in or on the shaft (42), which magnets have the same polar charge facing each other.

Process and apparatus for magnetic media milling

Media mill having a magnetic circuit of magnetic impellers on a shaft, magnetized media, and a magnetizable outer shell which provides improved efficiency.
