Abstract: The present invention provides a stable material having enhanced extensibility and a method for making the same. A neckable material is fed in a first direction. The neckable material is subjected to incremental stretching in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. A tensioning force is applied to the neckable material to neck the material in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The necked material is then subjected to mechanical stabilization to provide a stabilized extensible necked material. The stabilized extensible necked material is then passed between the peripheral surface of a cylinder which is driven in rotating motion and a device for pressing the stabilized extensible necked material against the peripheral surface of the cylinder. A retarding member retards the passage of the stabilized extensible necked material and directs the material away from the peripheral surface of the cylinder. The stabilized extensible necked material is easily extended in a direction parallel to the first direction and perpendicular to the first direction.

Patent CA-2330964-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARTINSON GLEN D
IPC: H03D7/18
Filed: 1999-06-11
Abstract: There is provided an image rejection mixer (100) for downconversion of an incoming signal to a lower intermediate frequency signal, using the absolute difference of frequencies between the incoming signal and the local oscillator signal. The image rejection mixer is set up to accept and downconvert incoming signals at two discrete frequencies fh and fl, where the local oscillator frequency is positioned mid-way between those frequencies fh and fl. There are two signal paths (S1, S2) in the image rejection mixer, either one or the other of which is chosen by positioning a controllable single pole, double throw (130) switch into one of its two switch positions. The output of the switch is led to a mixing element (116), from which an intermediate frequency signal is derived. The first of the two signal paths (S1) from the input to the image rejection mixer to the mixing element has a bandpass characteristic centred at one or the other of the two input frequencies of interest; the other signal path (S2) has a bandstop characteristic centred at the same frequency. By choosing one or the other of the signal paths, an incoming signal at a designated one or the other of the incoming signal frequencies may be downconverted, and the image signal and any noise at that image signal frequency will be rejected.
