Title: Wall ducts
Inventor: SHILLABEER JOHN LOUIS
IPC: E04B1/64
Filed: 1986-03-10
Abstract: A wall duct 10 comprises a conduit body 18,26,36 which has a frontal opening masked by a grille 12, a water outlet 20 in its underside adjacent its front, and internal baffles 32,34. In use, the duct is wedged (30) in the outer skin 14 of a cavity wall. It serves for both drainage and ventilation of the cavity, replacing separate weep holes and vents. Water from within the cavity, e.g. from a cavity tray 40, drains along the conduit body and escapes through the outlet 20. Air passes through the grille 12 to ventilate the cavity. The baffles 32,34 prevent wind from stopping the escape of water. <IMAGE>

Title: Receivers for frequency modulated transmissions
Inventor: BUCKNELL PAUL
IPC: H04H20/34
Filed: 1990-08-15
Abstract: In an FM receiver, the multiplex FM signal after demodulation is applied to an analogue-to-digital converter (AD) and the RDS and any ARI components are down-mixed in a first mixer (DM) to substantially baseband and then taken in an exponential mixer (EM) to actual baseband. The resulting quadrature related components (I,Q) are applied to comparators (C1,C2) whose outputs are summed (S) and control a local oscillator (LO) for the control of the phase of the components from the exponential multiplier (EM). The resulting control loops have a reduced locking-in time due to their operation on both the RDS and ARI signals. <IMAGE>
