Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of an input signal combiner. In one embodiment, a receive stage receives a multi-phase waveform and separates the multi-phase waveform into a plurality of waveforms. Analog-to-digital converters convert the plurality of analog waveforms into at least one digital signal. At least one gain stage adjusts an amplitude of each of the digital signals and combines the amplitude adjusted digital signals into at least one gain adjusted combined signal. A signal extraction stage extracts an inbound signal from the at least one gain adjusted combined signal according to a demodulation scheme.

Abstract: It is now feasible to coat metal objects having a substantially unexpanded surface area with a fused plasticized polyvinyl chloride coating uniformly covering and firmly anchored to the metal object. This objective is achieved by providing a metal substrate to be coated with small anchoring apertures which allow the fused coating to firmly anchor and bond onto and around the metal object and a series of leveling apertures which permit for a more uniform drainage of excessive unfused coating material from the metal object before the fusing of the coating thereto.

Abstract: Fixtures composed of a combination of a metallic core coated with a fused plasticized vinyl chloride coating and an overcoating barrier which shields the coating from atmospheric exposure possess superior resistance against outdoor weathering. The overcoating barrier protectively shields the plasticized vinyl chloride coating from microbiological and sunlight induced degradation. The fixture maintains the compositional integrity and appearance of a freshly manufactured fixture notwithstanding prolonged exposure to normally deteriorative weathering (e.g. bright sunlight, hot and humid) conditions. If desired, the protective barrier may include tractive imparting components which prevent slippage and improve upon surface traction. Thermosetting resins and especially the electrostatically applied powders particularly afford effective overcoating barriers for protectively shielding the plasticized vinyl chloride coating from degradation.
