have a surface which will experience abrasion with service such as instrument panels armrests window edges headrests steering wheel columns consoles etc since the three dimensional multi colored thermoplastic allows many surface colors on the plastic part an application of a paint or stain to a textured threedimensional multi color surface which is then wiped off will simulate cloth and wood textures better than when a solid colored surface is used in the three dimensional multi colored formula it may be possible to add a 34 fabric fragrance 34 to the compound fused particle shape can be controlled by process parameters such as heat time and rotation rate fused particle shape can be varied from round to elongated to a total blend a three dimensional multi color plastic part has two effects on textured surfaces 1 on a coarse texture where one would expect to have shadows the texture is enhanced 2 on shallow textures little shadowing the texture is subdued and less apparent than if a solid colored pigmented particles were used the synergism between three dimensional multi colored pigmented particles and the previously described denim texture or other cloth simulated textures appears to reside in part in the psychological recognition process two of the most obvious influences on the recognition process are the frequency and recency with which an input has been encountered in the past to replicate prior experiences one way in which frequency seems to facilitate recognition is by establishing higher level memory representations that can be matched to the input the more often a pattern is experienced the more likely it can be matched as a single unit against a memory representation in most cases of recognition familiarity and identification.
