Abstract: A process for production of a metal-coated paper, such as for use in cigarette packs having a metal coating containing a binding agent which is applied to a paper backing material by a printing process. The coating includes particles which have a flake structure and which can be fully wetted by the binding agent, as a result of which the particles of metal are so firmly embedded into the coating as to provide sufficient abrasion resistance to permit the resulting composite paper to be used in a high-speed automatic packaging machine. In this process for producing such a paper, a tool is pressed against and passed over the metal coating while still moist to smooth out the metal coating, whereupon the metal coating is dried.

Abstract: A method for communication transmission in common channel operation of a directional radio network, in particular a PCM directional network, in which operation of all transmitters of the radio-relay links takes place during fade-free periods at lower power than usual and upon the occurrence of fading in a particular path, automatically increasing the transmitting power in this path, the increase being effected at the remote transmitter over a return or auxiliary channel from the receiver concerned by fading to the associated remote transmitter.
