Title: Cord lock for a blind
Inventor: ALLSOPP REGINALD CHARLES
IPC: E06B9/324
Filed: 1993-10-19
Abstract: A cord lock (110) is adapted to engage with a support beam of a blind assembly to guide cord so as to hang vertically alongside a blind. The cord lock (110) comprises a generally elongate body (12) having a cord inlet (14) and a guide path to a cord outlet (16). The body (12) includes a first cord guide roller (18) at or near the cord inlet (14) which has an axis substantially perpendicular to the elongate axis of the body (12). A second cord guide roller (26), provided at or near the cord outlet (16), has an axis substantially perpendicular to that of the first roller (18) and of the elongate body. Frictional locking means (50) at or near the second cord guide roller (26) are operable to prevent movement of cord back through the cord lock (110) under the influence of the weight of the blind. Use of the first cord guide roller (18) helps to reduce wear on the cord lock (110) owing to frictional engagement of the cord with the lock body. <IMAGE>

Inventor: MCGEEHAN JOSEPH PETER
IPC: H03D7/18
Filed: 1994-12-21
Abstract: In a mixer circuit, local oscillator signals and RF input signals at least one of which is in mutual phase quadrature are applied to mixers 24, 26 and the outputs therefrom are combined at 32 to obtain the mixer output signal. Rejection of signals in the image band in the output is enhanced by adding a signal. e.g. a d.c. signal or a further R.F. signal to the RF signals, deriving a signal from the output of combiner 32 and using it to control the signals in one or both of the paths to the combiner to correct asymmetry or imbalance of the two paths and to minimise the local oscillator component in the output of 32. As shown, the combiner 32 output is combined with the local oscillator signals at 42, 44 to control the phase shift and gain at elements 34, 36 respectively. Various modifications are disclosed in other figures (not shown). <IMAGE>

Title: Coherent phase-shift keying detector
Inventor: OURA HIDETO
IPC: H04L27/233
Filed: 1995-10-27
Abstract: A coherent phase-shift keying (PSK) detector in a receiver generates (2) an unmodulated carrier signal, without attempting to synchronize the unmodulated carrier signal in frequency or phase to the carrier employed at the PSK transmitter (not shown). The instantaneous phase of the received PSK signal is detected (1) with reference to the unmodulated carrier signal to create an instantaneous phase signal. Phase rotation  beta  due to frequency offset between the two carrier signals is detected and removed (13) from the instantaneous phase signal, then a remaining phase offset  alpha  is detected and removed (14). Data are recovered (15) from the resulting instantaneous phase signal. The input signal is modulated by  pi /4-shift differential quadrature phase-shift keying. <IMAGE>
