Abstract: In a traffic guidance system, a vehicle (FZ), when passing a stationary guidance beacon (BK), receives therefrom guidance information items (LK1, LK2, LK3) for all destination points which can be reached from the guidance beacon. For transmitting the guidance information items, all destination points (Z) to which the same guidance information applies, are combined to form in each case one destination area (F1, F2, F3), each destination area being bounded by a polygonal line of any type. The allocation of a selected destination point (Z) in the vehicle is effected by a comparison with the boundary lines (GR1, GR2, GR3) of the destination areas. The destination point (Z) must be allocated in each case to the destination area (F3), with the boundary line of which a coordinate system placed through the destination point exhibits an odd number of points of intersection in each direction of the compass. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention describes novel metallic pigments coated with synthetic resin, which contain a siloxane coating, covalently bonded to the surface of the powder particles to which a three-dimensional cross-linked synthetic resin coat is covalently bonded. Such pigments can be obtained by production of an organosilicon coating of the pigment surface, subsequent conversion of this coating into a siloxane coating and subsequent reaction with a low molecular weight compound forming the synthetic resin coat. The metal pigments according to the invention are particularly suitable for the production of water-based lacquer, dye and paint compositions and in wet lacquers and powder lacquers for electrostatic lacquering and the colouring of plastics.

Abstract: A circuit for detecting pulses in an electric input signal, which pulses are superposed on a specific reference level (Uref), has an input terminal (1) for receiving the electric input signal, at least a first and a second comparator device (2, 3), switching means (S1), an output terminal (8) and control signal generator means (13) sec . The control signal generator means supply a control signal to the switching means (S1) to control the position of the switching means. The input terminal (1) is coupled to a first input of the comparator devices (2, 3), whose outputs (6 and 7 respectively) are coupled to a terminal (c and arespectively) of the switching means (S1). The output terminal (b) of the switching means is coupled to the output terminal (8). The first comparator device (2) transfers only pulses whose relative amplitude in relation to the reference level exceeds a first value (UD1). The second comparator device (3) transfers only pulses whose relative amplitude in relation to the reference level exceeds a second value (UD2). When input terminal receives N1 consecutive pulses whose amplitude relative to the reference level exceeds a specific (third) value (UD3) the switching means (S1) have been/are set to position c-b in such a manner that the first comparator (2) is coupled to the input terminal (8). When subsequently N2 consecutive pulsews are counted whose relative amplitude lies between a fourth and a fifth value (UD4 and UD5 respectively), such that U<D5> < UD4 < UD3, the switching means (S1) have been/are set to position a-b in such a manner that the second comparator device (3) is coupled to the output terminal (8). N1 and N2 are integers larger than or equal to 1.
