Abstract:
A marking material for use on a surface, the marking material including a binder material and a thermal-sensitive pigment. The marking material exhibits a first color different from a surface color. Upon being heated to a temperature of at least about 70°C, the marking material undergoes an irreversible color change from the first color to a second color. The second color renders the marking material effectively invisible to an observer. A marker and a method of using the marker are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A temporary marking material comprises a thermally-expansible layer containing a binder, a pigment and thermally-expansible microballs, and a pavement marker comprises the temporary marking material. Both the temporary marking material and the pavement maker hardly peel off or move during the use, and when they become unnecessary, they can be easily peeled off by heating from the structure in a short time by virtue of the expanded microballs. When the temporary marking material is in practical use, the thermally-expansible layer is disposed on the surface of a structure. The pavement marker is disposed on the pavement as part of a surface of the structure.
Abstract:
An underneath connector system for a shaped lighting, guidance, communication, power generator, power supply, or power support, or other system that may be embedded in a mounting surface or anchored on a mounting surface. The underneath connector system comprises an elongated U-shaped housing with a pair of opposed arms and an intermediate base, the intermediate base having electrical conductors positioned or embedded therein. The underneath connector system has at least one electrical conductor in an elongated support member and means for connecting the electrical conductor to an elongated system having a sliding means that permits relative movement between the electrical conductor and the elongated system.
Abstract:
Traffic element with illumination, at least comprising an element body (15) having a transparent plastic component (3) which comprises illumination means (4) encapsulated by the plastic of the component, which transparent plastic component (3) is fabricated by casting a preferably resilient multicomponent plastic in a closed mould. Examples of traffic elements are kerbs, traffic island elements, roundabout elements, a road surface etc. Traffic elements according to the invention are experienced as light-emitting elements.

Abstract:
A road marking bright plate and a road marking system capable of being used for an observer to accurately visualize a road marking pattern even when the plate is put in the dark, in a bad view, or on the road covered with snow or frozen rain water or snow water, wherein a laser beam is used as a light to be led into an optical fiber buried in a base forming the bright plate, whereby the fog obstructing the view present in a forward moving route is colored by a sharp light specific to the laser beam so as to clearly inform the observer of a light marking pattern even if the view is bad, the fallen snow or ice present in the beam advancing route is colored is colored by the laser beam even when the road is covered with snow or frozen rain water and snow water so that the observer can clearly visualize the light marking pattern, and the laser beam lights the end of a light diffusion so that the observer can clearly visualize the light marking pattern formed at the end of the light diffusion even in the dark such as in the night.
Abstract:
An underneath connector system for a shaped lighting, guidance, communication, power generator, power supply, or power support, or other system that may be embedded in a mounting surface or anchored on a mounting surface. In embodiments, the underneath connector system comprises an elongated U-shaped housing with a pair of opposed arms and an intermediate base, the intermediate base having electrical conductors positioned or embedded therein. In another embodiment, the underneath connector system has at least one electrical conductor in an elongated support member and means for connecting the electrical conductor to an elongated system having a sliding means that permits relative movement between the electrical conductor and the elongated system. In a further embodiment, a plurality of modules are interposed between the at least one electrical conductor and the modules of the system, the plurality of interposed modules forming electrical connections. In a further embodiment power transfer to a shaped lighting, guidance, communication, power generator, power supply, or power support, or other system is achieved by the inclusion of a power induction system incorporated within the underneath connector system and the shaped lighting, guidance, communication, power generator, power supply, or power support, or other system. The preferred mounting surface is a road or airport runway.
Abstract:
Successive road elements or a road barrier (4), a partition or the like are turnable relative to one another by means of hinge elements connected to their facing walls. They can be transferred by a device (1) having a substantially C-shaped hollow guiding element with opposite ends spaced from one another in a transverse direction, and a plurality of carts each having a substantially vertical shaft articulately connected with two successive road elements in the area of the two successive road elements, so that when the guiding element is longitudially displaced, the carts are displaced inside the guiding element without engagement of the road elements with the guiding element, and the carts with the successive road elements are tranferred from the area of one end (A) to the area of the other end of the guiding element (B) transversely.
