1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to intrusion detection systems and more particularly, to such a system for boats which is low cost, has a low power drain and timing control that prevents the system from being activated by momentary transients.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Within recent years many boat owners have been able to purchase sophisticated equipment such as radar sets, navigation aids, depth finders and other electronic hardware. The cost of such equipment has decreased significantly which enables even owners of small boats to purchase this equipment. Even though the cost of this equipment has decreased, it is still expensive enough so that is desirable to prevent its loss from theft. Further, due to more boat owners having this sophisticated equipment, the need for anti-theft devices on boats has increased.
The prior art discloses a number of different anti-theft devices. An example of such a device is disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 3,614,734 to Davis, entitled AUTO ALARM SYSTEM, issued Oct. 19, 1971. Davis discloses an alarm system for automobiles, which includes a multi-vibrator, external trigger and drive circuit. Another example is disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 5,216,407 to Hwang, entitled PREALARM SYSTEM FOR AN ANTITHEFT ALARM, issued Jun. 1, 1993. Hwang discloses a prealarm system utilizing a one shot timer circuit. These prior art devices are not particularly suited for utilization in small boats, which offer a unique set of requirements.
An anti-theft device for small boats first require small size, low weight, low cost and high reliability. Also, such a system must be able to operate in an environment with varying conditions such as a temperature operating range between -20� to 120� F. Such a device also must be able to be operated from a 12 volt boat battery and have low current drain in the quiescent "off" state, so that the battery is not run down. It would also be desirable to include a backup battery. A backup battery would prevent a burglar from circumventing the system by cutting the boat battery cable or otherwise disconnecting the battery.
An anti-theft device for boats also require small sensor devices that do not cause sparks. Such a device should also be capable of driving commercially available output warning devices including sirens and/or lights. Another requirement includes a timing control that automatically turns off the warning device after a fixed period of time. This would alert marina personnel to an attempted theft without causing an annoyance by staying on continually. The timing control should also include preventing the alarm from being activated due to a momentary transients such as the boat rocking, but latches up after a predetermined period of time, such as one to three seconds.
It is therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an alarm system that is low enough in cost and power drain to be utilized in a boat and, further having a timing control that prevents the system from being activated by momentary transients.
An intrusion detection system is disclosed including a sensor means for providing a first signal indicative of an intrusion and a second signal indicative of an absence of the intrusion. Alarm control means coupled to said sensor means including an oscillator coupled to a counter. The control means responsive to the first signal to activate the oscillator and counter in a first interval (T1) during which the first signal remains indicative of an intrusion and then to lock the sensing means to produce the first signal in a second interval (T2) indicative of a continuous alarm condition. The control means for further resetting the sensor means in the continuous alarm condition after the second interval.
The above objects, further features and advantages of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings, of which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the intrusion detection system according to the present invention; and
FIGS. 2A and 2B is a schematic diagram of one possible embodiment of the intrusion detection system according to the present invention.
The present invention is directed to an intrusion detection system that generates timing signals T1 and T2 corresponding to the various modes of operation. A sensor means provides a first signal indicative of an intrusion followed by a second signal indicative of an absence of the intrusion prior to signal T1, which indicates a false alarm mode and the system is placed in the quiescent mode. The signal T1 is indicative of a true alarm mode where the system is activated for an extended period of time and provides an audible and/or visual alarm indicative of the intrusion. The signal T2 occurs after a suitable time interval after which the alarm is disabled to prevent undue disturbance. In the present invention, the signals T1 and T2 are generated by a control circuit including an oscillator which is normally in a "static" or unenergized state, thereby providing low power drain for the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a block diagram of the intrusion detection system according to the present invention. The system 10 includes sensors 12 which are located in the vulnerable areas of a boat such as doors and/or windows. The term "sensors" is being used to indicate that more than one sensor is provided. However, a single sensor being employed is contemplated as well. The sensors 12 are capable of providing signals indicating that the sensors have been set by someone attempting to wrongfully gain access to these vulnerable areas of the boat. Such sensors can include mechanical switches, magnetically activated switches, conductive tape, glass detectors, vibration detectors and a host of other on/off type devices that are well known.
Coupled to the sensors 12 is a driver 30, which is utilized to detect the signals generated by the sensors 12 and to provide the power to drive a warning device 60. The warning device 60 may be one of several types including various sirens, alarms or a flashing light device. As can be seen, the driver 30 is controlled by a feedback loop including an oscillator 62, a counter 82 and a latch circuit 86. The oscillator 62 which is kept in a "static" or unenergized state, until activated by the driver 30, provides an oscillating signal which is utilized to trigger the counter 82. The counter 82 is utilized to provide timing signals T1 and T2 which are sent to the latch circuit 86. The latch circuit 86 utilizes timing signal T1 to operate the driver 30 so that the warning device is turned on for an extended period of time only if the signal from the sensors 12 persists for an extended period of time. The latch circuit 86 utilizes timing signal T2 to operate the driver 30 so that the warning device 60 is turned off after the extended time period.
During operation, the system is normally in the quiescent "off" state, which means the driver 30 is turned off not providing any power to the warning device 60. The driver 30 in the "off" state also keeps the oscillator 62 in a "static" or unenergized state and thus does not provide the oscillating signal. In the present invention the oscillator 62 being held in the "static" state causes it to draw substantially less current or power, which contributes to the energy efficiency of this system 10. However, in this state the latch circuit 86 biases the driver 30 so that it is readily turned on when at least one of the sensors 12 is set or operated.
When one of the sensors 12 is set by an intrusion, a signal is produced which switches the driver 30 to an "on" state. The driver 30 in the "on state" provides power to operate the warning device or siren 60 and to activate the oscillator 62. The oscillator 62 being activated causes the counter 82 to begin to count.
After a predetermined period of time, the counter 82 reaches a count which is utilized to generate the T1 signal received by the latch circuit 86. This signal operates the latch circuit 86 so that it locks the driver 30 in the "on" state regardless of the signals received from the sensors 12. The T1 signal is only produced when the sensors 12 provide a continuous signal to the driver 30 for an extended period of time, which indicates that the sensors 12 were set by a real response. When the sensors 12 are disturbed by a momentary transient such as the boat rocking or banging against the slip, the signal duration is not suitable to enable the counter 82 to reach the count indicative of the T1 signal. In this situation, the signal provided by the sensors 12 terminates before the count T1 is reached. This causes the driver 30 and oscillator 62 to be turned off, and further resets the counter 82, which is the quiescent "off" state of the system 10.
The system 10 is locked in the "on state" by the generation of the T1 signal. The system 10 remains in this state until being automatically turned off by the T2 signal. The T2 signal is generated at a second predetermined period of time, which corresponds to another count of the counter 82. The T2 signal operates the latch circuit 86 so that driver 30 is turned off and returned to the quiescent "off" state thereafter. In this way, the alarm, after a T2 operating period (3-12 minutes), is turned OFF whether or not the sensors 12 is still set.
Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the intrusion detection system according to the present invention is shown. This particular embodiment utilizes commercially available integrated circuits to achieve the desirable features of the present invention. These features include very low current drain, high reliability, small size and low cost. For example, the alarm circuit 11 nominally draws three milliamperes from a twelve volt battery and also is operable with a battery having a voltage as low as eight volts. This means that the drain on the boat battery is approximately one half ampere-hour per week, which is a relatively light load.
The use of integrated circuits instead of discrete components also reduces costs by reducing the number of parts to be purchased and assembled. Utilizing integrated circuits further reduces costs by limiting circuit board costs by decreasing the board area required. The integrated circuits utilized in this embodiment are inexpensive and available from multiple sources. Thus, the manufacturer or service person is not limited to one source. Therefore, this embodiment is efficient and low cost.
Still referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, this particular circuit 11 represents one possible embodiment of the block diagram of FIG. 1. This embodiment 11 also includes a power section 110, which will be described first before discussing the rest of the circuit 11. The power section 110 includes terminals 3, 4, 5 and 6, which are utilized to couple the batteries 112,118 to the system 11. The boat battery 112 is coupled across terminal 3 and 6 through a switch 114, while the backup battery 118 is coupled across terminals 5 and 6. A switch 116 couples terminal 5 to terminal 4. The preferred configuration is for the switches 114,116 to be ganged together.
Both switches 114,116 are utilized to connect and disconnect the batteries 112,118 to the system 11. Terminals 3 and 4 are coupled to the rest of the power section 110 by two diodes 120,122. The cathodes of both diodes 120,122 are coupled to the input of a voltage regulator 134 through a fuse 124 and a current limiting resistor 126. The resistor 126 along with the fuse 124 provide circuit protection. The voltage regulator 134 is preferably a five volt integrated circuit regulator U4 with a small quiescent current. The output of the regulator 134 is coupled to the power pins of integrated circuits U1, U2 and U3 for providing power thereto, as well as to the resistors 18 and 20. Coupled between the power and ground pins of U1, U2 & U3 are capacitors 142,144,146 which are utilized to filter the voltage received from the regulator 134. Coupled between the regulator 134 and ground are three bypass capacitors 128,130,132 which are utilized to eliminate any transients or noise signals. Coupled between node Vp and ground are two additional bypass capacitors 134,136.
The circuit 11 is activated when either of the switches 114,116 is closed. When the switch 114 is closed, current from the boat battery 112 flows through the switch 114, diode 120, fuse 124, resistor 126 and into the regulator 134. Assuming a nominal boat battery voltage of 12.6 volts, the voltage at node Vp is about 12 volts. The five volt output of the regulator 134 supplies approximately two milliamperes to U1, U2, U3 and resistors 18,20. The regulator 134 typically has a quiescent current of 0.4 milliamperes. Approximately 0.6 milliamperes flows from node Vp through the siren 60, while a very small amount of leakage current flows through the bypass capacitors 128,130,132. Summing these currents, the typical drain from the battery is nominally three milliamperes.
The backup battery 118 supplies power to the circuit 11 if the boat battery 112 is disconnected or if the boat battery voltage falls below that of the backup battery 118. Current from the backup battery 118 flows through switch 116, diode 122, fuse 124 and resistor 126 into the voltage regulator 134. Typically the backup battery 118 is a dry cell such as a lantern battery, which should be located in an alarmed area.
Still Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, the sensors 12 are coupled to input terminals 7,8 and terminals 9,13. The sensors 12 are preferably magnetically actuated reed switches. Each switch has a normally closed contact and are coupled to each other in a series configuration. FIGS. 2A and 2B shows a series configuration of four switches 14 coupled to terminals 7 and 8, while a series configuration of three switches 16 are coupled to terminals 9 and 13. The switches 14,16 operate to provide a ground potential when all of the contacts are in the closed position. The switches 14,16 further operate to provide a positive voltage level or a logic high when one of the contacts open.
The driver 30 is embodied by an integrated circuit U1, which includes four AND gates 32,34,36,38 coupled to associated transistors 40,42,44,46. The collectors of the transistors 40,42,44,46 are coupled together and, further coupled to both the siren 60 and oscillator 62. The siren 60 is a specific embodiment of the previously described warning device.
The oscillator 62 and counter 82 are embodied by the integrated circuit U3. The input of the oscillator 62 is pin 12 of U3, which is coupled to the driver transistors 40,42,44,46 through a charging resistor 48. A capacitor 50 is also coupled to pin 12 in order to store a reset level which keeps the oscillator 62 turned off or in the "static" state. The basic portion of the oscillator 62 includes two inverters 64,66 coupled in a series configuration. The oscillator 62 further includes two resistors 68,70 and a capacitor 72 coupled to the inverters. The counter 82, which is a fourteen stage counter, has two adjustable outputs 76,78 which can be tied to the different Q-outputs. This configuration enables the timing signals T1 and T2 to be selectively varied.
The latch circuit 86 is embodied by the integrated circuit U2, which includes a first flip-flop 88 and a second flip-flop 90. The signals T1 and T2 are coupled to the flip-flops 88,90 through a respective resistor 148,150. Coupled to each flip-flop 88,90 is an additional resistor 138,140. The flip-flops 88,90 are further coupled to ground through four capacitors 102,104,106,108. The reset output 92 of the first flip-flop 88 is coupled to one input of each of the AND gates 32,34,36,38, while the set output 94 of the second flip-flop 90 is coupled to one input of two of the AND gates 36,38. Coupled to the set outputs 94,96 of the flip-flops 88,90 are capacitors 98,100. These capacitors 98,100 ensure that the flip-flops 88,90 are placed in the reset state when the alarm circuit 11 is initially activated.
During operation, as previously described both flip-flops 88,90 are initially placed in the reset state. The reset output 92 of the first flip-flop 88 is utilized to prime the AND gates 32,34,36,38, while the set output 94 of the second flip-flop 90 is utilized to disable the two driver gates 36,38 ensuring the associated transistors 44,46 remain turned off. As long as all of the contacts in the switches 14,16 remain closed, the AND gates 32,34 are disabled ensuring the associated transistors 40,42 remain turned off. This ensures that the siren 60 is not activated.
If one of the switches 14,16 is disturbed, one of the normally closed contacts open. This causes a high logic condition to be placed on the other input of one of the AND gates 32,34, thus turning on one of the associated transistors 40,42. The collector voltage of one of the associated transistors 40,42 is then pulled to ground, which causes current to flow from node Vp through the siren 60 to ground. This results in the siren 60 being activated producing an audible output.
One of the associated transistors 40,42 being turned on also removes the reset level from pin 12 of U3 which turns on the oscillator 62. The oscillator 62 being turned on generates an oscillating signal which triggers the counter 82. The oscillator 62 is preferably configured to trigger the counter 82 every 0.05 seconds. Thus, the counter's Q4 output transitions positive after 0.8 seconds, Q5 transitions positive after 1.6 seconds, and Q6 transitions positive after 3.2 seconds.
Assuming the T1 output 76 is connected to Q6 of the counter 82 as shown. If the contact in one of the switches 14,16 closes again before 3.2 seconds, the reset level is returned to pin 12 of U3 which turns off the oscillator 62 and siren 60 returning the circuit 11 to its quiescent state. If the contact remains open for 3.2 seconds or longer, then the T1 signal produced by the counter 82 sets the second flip-flop 90. The AND gates 36,38 are enabled, which turns on the associated transistors 44,46. This locks the circuit 11 in the "on" state since the oscillator 62 and siren 60 remain activated regardless of the inputs from the switches 14,16. The circuit remains locked in the "on" state until signal T2 sets the first flip-flop 88.
Assuming that the T2 output 78 is connected to Q13 of the counter 82 as shown. After 6.8 minutes, the T2 signal is produced which sets the first flip-flop 88. This causes the reset output 92 to transition to ground, which disables all of the AND gates 32,34,36,38 turning off the associated transistors 40,42,44,46. Then the oscillator 62, counter 82 and siren 60 are turned off. The alarm circuit 11 is left in this "off" state for as long as power is applied. When the power switches 114,116 are opened and then closed again, the circuit 11 is returned to its quiescent state as described above.
The duration of the audible output from the siren 60 is adjustable by connecting the T2 output 78 to either Q12, Q13 or Q14 of the counter 82 in order to provide siren durations of 3.4, 6.8 or 13.6 minutes respectively. The length of T1 is also adjustable by connecting the T1 output 76 to either Q4, Q5 or Q6 of the counter 82 in order to provide a period of 0.8, 1.6 or 3.2 seconds before the siren is locked in the "on" state. The duration of the T1 and T2 is also adjustable by changing the values of the oscillator resistor 70 and capacitor 72.
For some applications, it may be desirable not to utilize the T1 or T2 signal. If the T1 signal is not utilized, the second flip-flop 90 is not set and the siren 60 is activated until the T2 signal is produced. However, if the contact in the switches 14,16 closes again before the T2 signal is produced, the siren 60 is turned off and the circuit 11 is then placed in the quiescent state. If the T2 signal is not utilized, the alarm circuit 11 is not automatically shut off. If the T1 signal is utilized and the T2 signal is not, the siren 60 will continue to sound until power is removed from the circuit 11. If both the T1 and T2 signals are not utilized, the siren 60 is activated any time a contact opens and turns off when all of the contacts close.
As previously described, both switches 14,16 include contacts which are separately wired in series, which enables the two AND gates 32,34 to be separately controlled. Such a configuration is desirable because it provides flexibility. However, if all of the contacts of both switches 14,16 are wired in one serial string, then pin 16 and 15 of U1 are tied together. This is the preferred configuration since it provides greater siren drive capability and reduces power dissipation in U1 when the siren 60 is turned on.
The intrusion system according to the present invention is specifically designed to be compact, low cost and energy efficient enough to be utilized in small boats. Although, the preferred environment is a boat, it is understood that this system can be employed in other environments as well. The present invention accomplishes this by utilizing inexpensive commercially available components and providing a timing circuit that prevents the system from being activated by momentary transients and also automatically shuts it off after a predetermined period of time.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Estero, Fla.-A Southwest Florida soldier gets a special welcome home.
Lance Corporal Connel Parsons arrived at Southwest Florida International Airport with family and the Warriors Watch Riders, waiting.
The group is made up of Vietnam and Cold War vets who want to make sure today's members of the armed forces get the homecoming welcomes they never received.
"That's awesome that someone would want to be here, the whole surprise thing. I had no idea anyone was going to be here," said Lance Corporal Connel Parsons.
Lance Corporal Parsons is home on a 30 day leave after spending the last 7 months with the marines in Afghanistan.
The South Fort Myers grad will then return to his base in California for his next assignment.

My question is, should I put the title of my car in a trust?
Couldn't I just have the title of the trust changed to read ---""Jane Doe (and/or) John Doe""---and accomplish the same thing in California?
I don't generally advise CA clients to put a car in a Trust just because it is so easy to transfer title with DMV. Everything else should fund the Trust but, unless it is for creditor protection purposes, I don't see the need to title every car in the Trust. As you see here, opinions vary.
You could put your car title in a trust in CA. Then your child/grandchild/POSSLQ could sell it with joint title, and you would have no remedy.
Why not put them on your checking account, house, and financial accounts, too? You don't put the title of your car in a trust that because you want to control your affairs while you are alive, and let someone else control your affairs after you are not. The Trust is a good vehicle for that, but only if you use it. The Trust is pretty weak if it has no assets for the successor to manage. If your Trust is written well, everything will end up there eventually, but it is more work for someone else on the back end. Do the legwork, reap the benefits, and relax.
I routinely advise my clients to title each car in the name of the person who most frequently drives that car. In Michigan It isn't terribly difficult to transfer a vehicle after death. So keeping the vehicle in an individual name isn't an issue here. Check with your DMV to see if they have a simple out-of-court procedure to transfer a vehicle to a surviving spouse or heir.
There are risks involved with joint names on vehicles. It can put the non-driver co-owner in the position of being a defendant in an injury lawsuit. If the driver is the only owner, then he/she will be the sole defendant. If other assets, like real estate, are title jointly with the spouse (tenants by the entireties) they could be protected from execution on judgment. That is the law here in Michigan. Check with an attorney in your state.

One way to gain a more personal experience of Tarot is to make your own Tarot cards. This Tarot art project can be an insightful way to discover more about yourself and your own magical qualities. By creating cards that represent who you are at different phases of your life, you can gain a better understanding of your own unique gifts skills and attributes. Use the cards you make as meditation tools or as a way to remind yourself of what is really important to you during those times of challenge or confusion in life.
Read on and discover how to make a "Tarot Deck of You."
1. Decide which medium you want to use to create your cards, such as photography, collage, painting or drawing. For the artistically challenged, collage is probably one of the most accessible ways to create your cards. To make a collage Tarot card, you'll need to gather magazines and pictures that you feel represent you in different areas in your life. For photography, or other mediums, you'll want to gather, props and costumes that express who you are.
2. Spend some time going through a traditional Tarot deck and decide what kind of energy or archetype you want to be in your first card. Do you want to showcase your feminine energy like the Empress and High Priestess cards? Or are you more interested in expressing your warrior, active, out-in-the-world energy, like the Chariot or the Magician? Once you've decided the general theme of your card, pick from the images, props and costumes that most express your own personal connection to the theme. For example, if you want to emphasize making big change in your life, like the Wheel of Fortune, Death or Fool card, gather images that reflect the big changes you've already made in your life. You can choose pictures of yourself after a big move, or magazine images of someone in an academic setting, reflective of a time in your life when you went to school. Use your imagination and creativity to come up with examples of pictures, props and costumes that most show your own unique way of expressing the energies of change, love, work and so on.
3. Once you've gathered the appropriate materials for your cards, decide how you want to display these. Assign a number to your first card. This number can correspond with the card that you're modeling your own card after, or you can assign a number that is special to you for some reason. For a collage, you'll want to glue your images on cardboard or other hard backing. For a photograph, picture or painting, set up the props and other images so that they have the general look and feel of a traditional card, only using your own personal images arranged in a way that is pleasing to you. The size of the card is up to you. If you plan on making a complete deck of cards, you may want to keep them around the general size of a traditional deck.

Cash awards will be presented to the top finishers in the 5K race. The top male and female 5K runners receive $100, and the second place male and female participants receive $50. Third place male and female participants will receive $25.
As participants finish the races, tickets to claim a pie and a Jimmy John's sandwich are randomly distributed. Each participant receives a T-shirt.

To whom it may concern,
My intention was to return to WoW last night but could not because of patches (I even activated my time card! - which annoys me)
The problem is the following:
I installed all 4 discs of WoW (vanilla -> crusades -> lich king -> cata)
The problem is that the patches are 8GB in file size.
My monthly download limit left of my account is 5gb (of metered broadband - i can get unmetered if i get a offline patcher)
Is there patch from a clean install of cata up until 4.2? If so could you please link it because I cannot find it and it means i won't be able to play for the rest of the month which means I loose on 15 days of play time since I activated my game card!
If there is an offline installer - i can get my ISP to download the patch and upload it to their server where it won't count towards my monthly download limit
Thanks heaps for any advice
in addition to this post the following attempts were made before posting:
1.) I downloaded all the patchs from my unmetered site
specifically this url
the manual patches would only work up to patch 220.127.116.1105 - and then the installer wouldnt patch to the next version (even though i had it - it still wanted to download 8gb)
2.) I searched the support website (but that was offline last night)
3.) I searched ong google but nothing much came up - thanks heaps

85 Orc Rogue
Patches up to 4.2.2:
Normally to install since the release of Cata, you use ONLY the Cata disc and that brings you up to patch 4.0.1 then you have 8-15GB of patch to download.

Connection/Latency Issues
Just see my mega-thread
Unofficial WoW Tech Support Pages
Live Support Chat
Thank you for the replies - i was starting to think no-one would reply...
From my understanding you had to install vanilla -> cata - but next time i will try just cata (the problem is it doesnt want to install in program files - it wants to install in public folders and that annoys me - but i can live with that...)
as per the instructions on the mirror
Note: There are 2 parts to each patch.
a .tfil file which needs to be placed in your main wow folder
a .mpq file which needs to be placed in the Data folder (World of Warcraft\Data\)
After placing these files in their respective locations, run the Launcher to patch.
i run the launcher and it still wants to download the 8GB! it wont update from version
220.127.116.1105 to the next patch - and i dont know why
because i downloaded the files from the unmetered mirror (gamearena) and it wont work
any other suggestions?
updated note- im reinstalling now(just disk 4) and it did ask me for a location to install it!
i will try and manually patch again...and then report back with my findings
You're more likely to run into issues if your game is in the Program Files folder, I'd install it somewhere else.
As for those mirrors, even if you update the game to the latest version using them you'd still have to download a good chunk of data afterwards.
Edited by Barthus on 9/14/2011 5:10 PM PDT
so basically your saying "im screwed" and cant play the game....
well i have been trying all day but manual patching DOES NOT WORK =( from version 220.127.116.1105
it doesnt matter if i put updates in the following folder
the version number will not update. from the above mentioned to the manual patches and the launcher refuses to update it
does anyone else have any suggestions?
You don't install vanilla first. That causes problems. Use the cata disk. That's.it.
Or you could copy the game from a friend's computer. That works too.
Thanks for the reply - someone already mentioned that
and when I did a re-install - i just did it from the cata disk.
I live in a remote area - my nearest friend is over 2 hours away -
any anyone else make any suggestions please?
There are no other suggestions. If you don't want to visit your friend, and you don't want to go over your limit, then that's your choice.
Your connection type is not supported.
thats not true Nobody - and I can prove it
There are patch mirrors
and my "non metered" provider provides these exact same patchs - which I downloaded
the problem is the manual patching isnt working! That is why I am here! to find out why the manual patchs are not working!
I did all my manual patching for WoTK and that worked - its just not working in cata..

This has worked well for anxiety and insomnia
13 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Elliecats on Jul 29, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
I had insomnia for 15 years due to fibromyalgia and also have a severe anxiety disorder from PTSD. I discovered GABA when I was researching how Valium (which I was taking) worked. I have taken GABA now for nearly 2 years now and it WORKS. It has fixed my insomnia problem and has calmed me down considerably. I only take it at night because it does make me very sleepy (for me, that's the point.) It does not appear to have any side effects, except for an occasional brief tingling when I take it on an empty stomach. It does not give me a "hangover" the next day. My only problems have been when I tried to stop taking it cold turkey - my anxiety came back. The other problem has been when I've taken it and then tried to stay awake. Obviously, mixing with alcohol, drugs, benadryl or any other depressant are not good and are not necessary. I would highly recommend this product. It took about 2-3 weeks to get the full effect, but it did help from the start.

My husband was on sleeping meds for years. Despite his doctor telling him they were not addictive, he simply could not sleep without it. We finally decided that there had to be a better solution. After doing some investigating, we decided to give gaba a try. Well, they did the trick... immediately! There was no weaning off period, he just took gaba one night and slept like a baby. He takes 3 capsules about an hour before bed. I would highly recommend this to anyone suffering from sleep problems or for those who want to get off those awful pharmaceuticals.
GABA is a godsend

Several years ago I was diagnosed with severe panic disorder and the psych I was seeing wanted to put me on benzodiazepines, but being a recovering addict I didn't want to take them. I learned of GABA while taking a course dealing with neurotransmitters. I have found it works beautifully on my anxiety. It has been a genuine godsend for me, controls my anxiety without really sedating me. I was originally getting it from an herbalist who was charging me through the nose for it, then I found iHerb.com. Excellent value, excellent service, got my package when I was supposed to... no muss, no fuss. I have since started getting my other herbal suppliments from iHerb.

My husband is taking Gaba and the whole family is benefiting! Disagreements do not escalate, issues can be dropped, questions can be heard and answered. He notices a difference and he starts each day reaching for his supplements!

I was feeling like my life was out of control, like life was spinning too fast and I couldn't keep up any little thing would stress me especially rush hour traffic. A few days after I started using GABA I found things weren't affecting me the same, I was just letting things just roll along and not fretting over every little thing.

Application Would Expand Versatility of DelSite cGMP Polymer
IRVING, Texas, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Carrington Laboratories, Inc. (Pink Sheets: CARN) today announced its wholly-owned subsidiary, DelSite Biotechnologies, Inc., entered into a technology evaluation rights license agreement with a biotechnology company for transdermal delivery of vaccines using GelSite(R) polymer, DelSite's high-molecular-weight anionic polysaccharide which is produced under cGMP with high purity at a kilogram scale. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
As part of the agreement, DelSite will provide GelSite(R) polymer and assistance in formulation development of a transdermal vaccine. Transdermal vaccination avoids needle sticks, pain or tissue damage and offers distinct advantages over conventional vaccination regimens. The objective of the program is to develop an effective vaccine formulation that may further enhance the immune response following through-the-skin delivery. The GelSite(R) polymer's distinct chemical and functional properties, including its capability for in-situ gel formation that provides a matrix for sustained antigen release, may make it an especially suitable platform for noninvasive transdermal vaccination delivery.
This agreement is a new addition to DelSite's delivery technology programs in the vaccine areas. So far this year, DelSite has entered into five technology rights evaluation agreements with commercial partners in using GelSite(R) polymer for drug or vaccine delivery by various routes. These include intranasal delivery of a Shigellosis vaccine by EndoBiologics, Inc.; intranasal delivery of peptide/protein therapeutics by Nastech Pharmaceutical Company, Inc.; injectable delivery of an HIV peptide vaccine by AriaVax, Inc.; injectable delivery of a cancer therapeutic agent by ElSohly Laboratories; and sublingual delivery of vaccines by the International Vaccine Institute.
Additionally, DelSite

Before Twitter and YouTube could respond, millions of users saw video of journalist James Foley being beheaded. An equally large number of people were privy to naked photos of celebrities on sites such as 4chan and reddit, after a hacker illegally stole the photos from the cloud. These were eventually removed, but not before a surprising controversy rose up around these instances: Should social media sites be in the business of censoring content-and, by extension, users?

The views were amazing. The unit had everything we needed to feel right at home, including beach snorkel gear. Conley met us at the unit the first night, gave a tour of the property and a rundown of the island, and then continued to update throughout the week with excellent advice on places to visit and snorkel not found in tourist brochures. The compound was secured with a fence and gate at the entrance, and we always felt our rental vehicle and belongings were safe. We would definitely stay here again, and would be happy to rent again from Kriss; absolutely no complaints. more
