Abstract:
There is disclosed a new and improved frequency modulation system and method for providing a frequency modulated signal which varies in frequency from a center frequency in response to the amplitude of an analog modulating signal. The system and method utilizes a frequency shift synthesizer to provide the frequency modulated signal and digital techniques for quantizing the amplitude modulating signal and providing dividing factors to the frequency shift synthesizer responsive to the amplitude quantization.
Abstract:
A tubular stick of predetermined fluid-holding capacity is provided with a funnel-shaped end portion, whose mouth is rotatable from a vertical to a horizontal plane about an accordian-pleated bending hinge. A decorative cap is hingedly connected to the funnel-shaped end portion, to close the top of the stick. The stick is filled with water and/or water and plant food to feed a plant, and the funnel disposed in a vertical plane so the cap provides a decorative ornament for the plant.
