Color specifiers

TSR L, TSR L is a color-specified mbber, and the light amber color is produced by selecting clones with a low carotenoid content. After collection, the field latex is preserved with a mixture of ammonia and boric acid and subsequendy treated using 0.05% sodium metabisulfite to inhibit... 

Colors specified in terms of the tristimulus values X, Y, and Z are fairly hard to visualize. For this and other reasons, a variety of different color systems have been devised. The color coordinates in these systems can be calculated from the X, Y, and Z values, which are of central importance to color measurement because of their close link to measurable quantities. 

The visible colors specified (A/C) are A, color of light absorbed C, complementary color transmitted (e.g, "violet/yellow-green" means "violet is color absorbed yellow-green is color transmitted"). 

Traffic signs — Use colors specified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Used to control traflSc on or around the site. 

Where insulation is used that is not available in the colors specified. 

Chromaticity coordinates, which do not depend on the amount of a color, specify each of the tristimulus values relative to their sum ... 

The temperature factor (together with the Cartesian coordinates) is the result of the rcfincincnt procedure as specified by the REMARK 3 record. High values of the temperature factor suggest cither disorder (the corresponding atom occupied different positions in different molecules in the crystal) or thermal motion (vibration). Many visualisation programs (e.g., RasMol [134] and Chime [155]) have a special color scheme designated to show this property. 

Specifications and Analytical Methods. Butanediol is specified as 99.5% minimum pure, determined by gas chromatography (gc), sohdifying at 19.6°C minimum. Moisture is 0.04% maximum, determined by Kad-Fischer analysis (dkecdy or of a toluene a2eotrope). The color is APHA 5 maximum, and the Hardy color (polyester test) is APHA 200 maximum. The carbonyl number is 0.5 mg KOH/g maximum the acetal content can also be measured dkecdy by gc. 

Specifications and Analytical Methods. Purity is specified as 99.5% minimum, by gc area percentage, with a maximum of 0.1% moisture by Kad-Fischer titration. Color, as deUvered, is 40 APHA maximum samples may darken on long storage. 

Sodium antimonate contains less antimony than either antimony trioxide or pentoxide and is thus less effective. However, its unique pH and low refractive index makes the antimonate the most desirable synergist for polymers that hydrolyze when processed with acidic additives or in polymers for which deep color tones are specified. Sodium antimonate costs approximately 3.30—4.40/kg and can be obtained from either Elf Atochem NA under the Thermoguard name or from Anzon Inc. as a Timinox product. 

The general sales specification under which maleic anhydride is sold ia the United States specifies a white fused mass or briquettes of 99.5% minimum assay and 52.5°C minimum crystallisation poiat. The melt color specification is 20 APHA maximum with a maximum APHA color of 40 after two hours of heating at 140°C. Four grams of maleic anhydride ia 10 milliliters of water are to be completely soluble. The resulting solution is to be colodess. The acidity resulting from maleic acid is allowed to be a maximum of 0.2%. 

Fumaric acid is sold as resia-grade and food-grade. The general sales specification under which resia-grade fumaric acid is sold ia the United States specifies white, crystalline granules with a minimum assay of 99.6% and maximum ash content of 0.05%. The moisture specification is 0.3% maximum with < 10 ppm heavy metals. The color of a 5% solution ia methanol is to be less than 10 APHA. Food-grade fumaric acid calls for somewhat lower impurity levels. Particle size and particle size distribution are important ia many appHcations. 

The three classes of PE, designated as A, B, and C, specify the color, amount, and type of antioxidants and other additives. Class A refers to naturally colored PE, Class B includes white or black polymer, and Class C covers weather-resistant black polymer containing no less than 2% carbon black. Typical characteristics of resins used for film manufacture, injection mol ding, and blow mol ding are given in Table 5. 

The characteristics of interior paints that require testing and analysis include hiding and appearance, package stabiHty, adhesion, spatter resistance, flow and leveling, color and sheen uniformity, touch-up, stain removal, burnish resistance, and block and print resistance. A popular test that assesses the wet abrasion resistance of an interior paint is to measure its scmb resistance. A mechanical device is used to scmb a paint film of a specified thickness with a standard bmsh and abrasive cleanser suspension. The number of scmb cycles (back and forth movements of the weighted bmsh) at various end points (first cut through, or 50% removal of the film) is then recorded. Scmb resistance usually holds steady or decreases slightly as PVC is increased, but drops quickly once the CPVC is exceeded in a paint formulation. 

Olfactory receptors have been a subject of great interest (9). Much that has been postulated was done by analogy to the sense of sight in which there are a limited number of receptor types and, as a consequence, only three primary colors. Thus attempts have been made to recognize primary odors that can combine to produce all of the odors that can be perceived. Evidence for this includes rough correlations of odors with chemical stmctural types and the existence in some individuals having specific anosmias. Cross-adaptation studies, in which exposure to one odorant temporarily reduces the perception of a chemically related one, also fit into this hypothetical framework. Implicit in this theory is the idea that there is a small number of well-defined odor receptors, so that eventually the shape and charge distribution of a specific receptor can be learned and the kinds of molecular stmctures for a specified odor can be deduced. 

The significance of the total sulfur content of kerosene varies greatly with the type of oil and the use to which it is put. Sulfur content is of great importance when the kerosene to be burned produces sulfur oxides, which are of environmental concern. The color of kerosene is of Htde significance but a product darker than usual may have resulted from contamination or aging in fact, a color darker than specified may be considered by some users as unsatisfactory. Kerosene, because of its use as a burning oil, must be free of aromatic and unsaturated hydrocarbons the desirable constituents of kerosene are saturated hydrocarbons. 

Liquid cycloahphatic amines and diamines have exacting purity and color standards. Almost all are sold to specification, not performance standards. Use as isocyanate precursors requites low water content criteria for these hygroscopic fluids, hence nitrogen blanketing is often specified for product sampling as well as storage and transport. 

Blt-M ppedImages. A bit map is a grid pattern composed of tiny cells or picture elements called pixels. Each pixel has two attributes a location and a value or set of values. Location is defined as the address of the cell in a Cartesian, ie, x andjy coordinate, system. Value is defined as the color of the pixel in a specified color system. Geometric quaUties of images are a function of the location attribute, ie, the finer the grid pattern, the more precisely can the geometric quaUties be controlled. Color quaUties are a function of the value attribute, ie, the more bytes of computer memory assigned to describe each pixel, the more precisely can the color quaUties be controlled.
