Title: Colour regulating circuit
Inventor: CHOI SUNG-KYU
IPC: H04N9/68
Filed: 1992-04-27
Abstract: A colour regulating circuit comprises a tuner 10, a demodulator 20, a burst level detector 30 for detecting the colour burst level of a video signal output from the demodulator 20 and outputting a corresponding control signal Vc' as a control voltage signal, a colour controller 40 for controlling the colour by emphasizing or aftenuating the high band components of the video signal output from the demodulator 20 in accordance with the control voltage level Vc' from the burst level detector 30, so that it is possible to receive video signals without much change in colour regardless of the variation of the voltage standing wave ratio due to changes in the connection between the antenna and RF cable. The burst level is obtained by detecting the envelope of the colour burst signal output, detected by gating the demodulated video signal by a keying pulse produced from the delayed synchronizing signal, and the colour control means comprises a peaking circuit. <IMAGE>

Title: Frequency doubling circuit
Inventor: TATSUMI SATOSHI
IPC: H03K5/00
Filed: 1992-04-30
Abstract: A doubling circuit for enabling the duty ratio of an output signal to be adjusted. A variable delay circuit 22 delays an input signal while an exclusive-OR (EOR) gate 23 produces EQR of the output signal of the delay circuit and the input signal. The resulting output of the EOR gate has a frequency double the frequency of the input signal. A low pass filter (LPF) 25 filters the output signal of the EOR gate to produce a mean voltage thereof. An integrating circuit 26 integrates a difference between the output voltage of the LPF and a reference voltage. The delay of the variable delay circuit is controlled by the output of the integrating circuit. As a result, the doubled signal from the EOR gate has the duty ratio which may be adjusted depending on a reference signal applied, at 28, to the integrating circuit. <IMAGE>

Title: Doors with infill panels
Inventor: PAPIEROWSKI DAVID KARZIMIERZ
IPC: E06B3/72
Filed: 1996-05-23
Abstract: A door infill 1 is made independently from the door frame 2 and the complete door is constructed by insertion of one or more infill into the door. The infill design is tailor-made to satisfy the customer requirement. Only the door itself would need to be stocked by the distributor who sells them to the customer, but since the door is a standard specification the quantity of these doors needing to be stocked would be relatively small. The design on the interior of the complete door can be made different from that on the exterior by using an infill with a different design on either side. The infill can be removed and replaced with a different infill.
