Appl. No.:

5/662556

Inventors:

Robert D. Ray - Edmond OK

International Classification:

B62H 500

US Classification:

70233

Abstract:

A bicycle lock including a drum housing having a cable reel rotatably mounted in said drum housing on a shaft extending through the housing. A torsion spring is operatively connected between the shaft and the reel and is placed in tension by the rotation of the reel in one direction upon the shaft. A two part bar clamp is secured to the outer side of the housing for clamping the housing to one of the bars of a bicycle frame. A flexible securing cable having a lock on one end has its other end portion wound around the reel, and extends through a guide ring secured to the housing in alignment with an opening in one side of the housing. A safety cable is extended from a point of securement on one side of the reel housing to a point of securement to the guide ring, with a bight portion positioned between the points of securement of the safety cable.

Appl. No.:

6/878743

Inventors:

Robert T. Ray - West Chester PA

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

H03D 300

US Classification:

329 50

Abstract:

A zero intermediate-frequency (IF) demodulator includes a pair of mixers receiving a quadrature local oscillator signal, for converting the FM-modulated input signal to an in-phase I baseband signal and a quadrature-phase Q baseband signal; each I and Q signal is then delayed and the I and Q signals and the delayed I. sub. d and Q. sub. d signals are arithmetically processed to generate first and second modulation-related signals, which are summed to provide the recovered modulation as an output signal. The arithmetic processing may use additive and/or multiplicative operations.
