  • Patent number: 5918802
    Abstract: A system for mailing an article requiring special services and a method for forming a mailpiece having an interior for carrying an article requiring special services are provided. The system includes an integrally formed envelope and form constructed from a single sheet and folded and sealed in such a way that one portion of the assembly provides an envelope and the other portion provides a return postcard for attachment to the envelope in its assembled position. The parts are integrally formed, but removably attached, such that the return postcard remains attached to the envelope until received by the addressee upon which the return postcard may be removed.

  • Patent number: 5825833
    Abstract: A digital and analog reception apparatus includes a first mixer (MIX1) which converts up a reception signal having an input frequency fa inputted into an input terminal IN and a second mixer (MIX2) which converts down a first intermediate frequency fc of a signal outputted from the first mixer (MIX1) by using a second local frequency fd and a second intermediate frequency fe. The apparatus is also provided with a phase-locked loop (PLL), an automatic frequency controller (AFC) which comprises a second local oscillator and a low frequency band pass filter unit LPF adjusts a second local frequency fd, and a microcomputer discriminates an analog/digital distinction of the reception signal having the input frequency fa. Upon receiving an analog signal, the digital and analog reception apparatus deactivates a low-pass filter unit LPF, thereby having an AFC signal control a second local oscillator.

  • Patent number: 5805113
    Abstract: An antenna unit and a receiver having such an antenna are disclosed. The antenna includes an antenna body; a first antenna provided on the antenna body for receiving signals transmitted from satellites; at least one second antenna provided on the antenna body for receiving signals transmitted over the earth; a mixer provided in the antenna body for mixing or combining the signals received by the first and second antennas to output the mixed signals as a single output. Further, the receiver includes, in addition to these elements of the antenna unit, a signal separating device for separating the mixed signals into the signal received by the first antenna and the signal received by the second antenna, respectively and then outputting them; and a single cable which connects the mixer and the single separating device to supply the mixed signals thereto.
