Neuhauser [57] ABSTRACT An early warning fire detection system utilizes a ground fault protected circuit fed through a conventional'ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) as :1 vehicle for detecting elevated temperature conditions indicating a fire or incipient tirev Thermal detectors located at strategically-located convenience outlets powered by a ground fault protected circuit or circuits individually operate in response to a predetermined high temperature condition to produce a controlled ground fault, either on the line or the neutral side of the associated circuit, thereby precipitating circuit interrupting operation of the GFCl unit. An alarm associated with the protected circuits is activated in response to the circuit interrupting operation of any of the GFCI units.
l I 64A 1 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is well known that one of the major causes of accidental death, personal injury and property damage in the United States is fire.
Despite the dramatic seriousness of this problem, early warning fire detection systems have not been widely adopted. Typical systems require running low voltage wiring throughout a building or residence linking the various remotely located detectors to a central station. The equipment, and particularly the installation, is quite expensive, even prohibitively so to the average homeowner. Recently developed wireless systems, though less expensive than the wired systems, due to their economy of installation, are nevertheless not sufficiently low in cost as to have gained widespread acceptance and use by the average homeowner.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an early warning, hazardous condition detection system which is inexpensive both in terms of equipment and installation.
Another object of the invention is to provide a fire detection system of the above character which utilizes existing electrical wiring in homes and buildings.
A further object of the invention is to provide a system of the above character which combines the function of fire detection and warning with the function of ground fault protection, i.e., shock protection, by utilizing currently available ultra-sensitive ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) units.
Still another object of'the invention is to provide an electrical receptacle or alternatively a plug-in module electrically connecting a hazardous condition detector into a ground fault protected power distribution circuit.
The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangements of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the present invention there is provided an early warning, hazardous condition detection system which is created simply by the appropriate electrical connection of a suitable condition responsive detector in a ground fault protected electrical power distribution circuit. If the distribution circuit is not ground fault protected, the invention is created by the inclusion therein of a ground fault sensor module alone or in conjunction with a circuit breaker module to constitute a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), and a condition responsive detector.
In one form of the invention, the detector is situated at various strategically-located convenience outlets fed by the ground fault protected circuit. The detector is electrically connected between either the line side'or, more preferably, the neutral side when the ground fault sensor has faulted neutral response capability of the power circuit and ground and responds to the existence of the hazardous condition to create a controlled fault condition to which the ground fault sensor is sensitive. The sensor, in responding to the detector imposed ground fault, may interrupt the circuit and/or activate an alarm.
In an alternative embodiment, the detector is incorporated in a pronged module for plug-in electrical contacting engagement with the receptacle at the convenience outlet, pursuant to electrically connecting the detector into the ground fault protected circuit.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should he had to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram ofa portion of an electrical power distribution system incorporating the early warning fire detection system of the invention;
FIGS. 2 and 3 are schematic diagrams of alternative embodiments of a thermally responsive detector utilized in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 4 is a perspective view, partially in diagrammatic form, of a plug-in module for electrically connecting a thermally responsive element into the power distribution system of FIG. 1.
Like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawing.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to FIG. 1, the detection system of the invention is shown incorporated in an electrical power distribution system such as is used in a typical residence or building and including a power control panel or load center, generally indicated at 10. The load center 10 ordinarily includes a generally rectangular metallic box, indicated at 11, with terminals 12, I4 and 16 used for connection to a neutral conductor 18, and phase conductors 20 and 22, respectively, emanating from a source 23. This is intended to represent a typical electrical feed arrangement, especially for a residence. It will be understood that the particular power source arrangement shown is merely exemplary. Any convenient or available power source may be utilized in various arrangements, such, for example, as utilizing only one phase conductor and the neutral conductor, or a 3- phase system including three phase conductors together with a neutral conductor.
The neutral terminal 12 is connected by means of a conductor 24 to a neutral bar 26, and, in the installation shown, the neutral bar is also connected to ground, indicated at 27, as is the load center box 11. The terminals 14 and 16 are connected by means of a 2-pole circuit breaker 28 to main power supply bus bars 30 and 32, respectively. Connected to each bus bar are conventional circuit breakers 40.
For the purposes of simplification, only one power distribution circuit will be described in connection with FIG. 1. It will be understood, however, that a number of such circuits emanate from load center 10.
Still referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 42 generally indicates a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) unit having the capability of responding to a ground faulted neutral, as well as a ground faulted line. A suitable GFCI is marketed by the General Electric Company under the trademark CB3. For a description of the operation of such units, reference is made to US. Pat. No. 3,611,035. Power is taken from bus 32 through interrupter contacts 44 and supplied by an internal connection 45 to the branch conductor 46 of a 3-wire conductor, commonly indicated at 47. Neutral connection to the source is effected by conductor 48 from the neutral bus 26 to the GFCl unit 42 and thence via an internal connection 49 to a neutral wire 50 of conductor 47. An equipment ground wire 51, included in conductor 47, is connected to an equipment ground bus 52 which is grounded to the load center metallic enclosure 11.
The GFCl line and neutral internal. connections 45 and 49 are inductively associated as primary windings of differential current transformer 54, while the neutral connection is inductively associated as a secondary winding of a transformer 56. The secondary winding of transformer 54 and the primary winding of transformer 56 are connected to an electronic module 58 which operates to energize a trip coil 60, in the event of a predetermined current imbalance in line and neutral connections 45 and 49. For a ground fault on line conductor 46, the current imbalance arises from leakage current to ground which bypasses neutral conductor 50 and neutral connection 49. For a ground fault on the neutral conductor, the current imbalance in transformer 54 is created by the action of transformer 56 in inducing a current in the neutral circuit which effectively becomes a short circuited' secondary winding when grounded at any pointdownstream from load center 10.
A load outlet 62, serviced by conductor 47, includes a metallic housing or enclosure 63. In cases where the housing is made of insulation, a conductive element (not shown) is added which functions electrically in the same manner. It will be appreciated that the conductor 47 services additional outlets and other forms of load outlets connected downstream.
For purposes of illustration, outlet 62 comprises a duplex receptacle 62a shown mounted in outlet housing 63 and as including two 3-prong sockets64, each including line contacts 64a, neutral contacts 64b, and ground contacts 64c, all of the plug-in, prongacceptance type. Line contacts 64a are connected in common to line conductor 46 by connection 66, while neutral contacts 648 are connected in common to neutral conductor 50 by connection 68. The ground contacts 640 are connected .in common by connection 70 to ground conductor 51. This ground connection is also made to the metallic housing 63 of outlet 62 as indicated at 72.
The wiring installation thus far described may be considered as conventional in accordance with present requirements of the National Electrical Code for a ground fault protected circuit.
In accordance with the invention, a hazardous condition responsive detector 74, such as a thermal detector,
is adapted to or incorporated in the receptacle 62a- This thermal detector may take any number of forms so long as it is capable of abruptly and substantially reducing its electrical impedance upon experiencing a thermal condition above an appropriate temperature threshold. Examples of suitable thermal detectors are a simple bimetallic switch, illustrated at 74b in FIG. 3, and a solid state device such as a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, illustrated at 74a in FIG. 2. Other forms of detectors and detector circuits manifesting the requisite electrical response to elevated temperature conditions will readily occur to those skilled in the art.
As seen in FIG. 1, the detector 74 is situated in the outlet enclosure 63 and is electrically connected between the neutral connection 68 and the ground connection 70 so as to be imposed across the neutral conductor 50 and the ground conductor 51 running between the receptacle 62 and the load center 10. As the temperature within the receptacle, due to a faulty electrical connection, or in the room where the receptacle is located, due to a fire, rises to a predetermined dangerous level, the impedance of detector 74 goes from a high impedance to a low impedance, simulating a ground fault on the neutral conductor 50. The GFCI unit42 senses the resulting current imbalance in the line and neutral conductors and energizes the trip coil 60 to open the breaker contacts 44. A suitable alarm, such as illustrated at 80, may be connected across the line and neutral conductors to be activated to emit an alarm upon the removal ofpower therefrom. The alarm may be battery powered, powered from either of the main buses 30, 32, or from an external auxiliary source. It will be appreciated that other techniques for producing an alarm signal in response to circuit interruption by the GFCl unit 42 may also be employed. it is also to be noted that if the high temperature condition arose from electrical overheating of the receptacle 62 itself, circuit interruption by the GFCI unit will alleviate the situation before an actual fire is started.
Rather than situate the detector 74 within the receptacle box 63, a separate 3-prong adapter 82, illustrated in FIG. 4, may be utilized to accommodate the detector. In this embodiment of the invention, the detector is incorporated in the adapter body 84 and electrically connected between the ground contact prong 86 and the neutral contact prong 88. A line contact prong 90 is blank or may be omitted altogether. It is seen that when the adapter 82 is plugged into one of the receptacle sockets 64, the requisite connection of the detector 74 across the neutral and ground conductors is achieved. Moreover, rather than in a separate adapter, the detector may be incorporated in a molded plug adapted to the end of an appliance cord, or the like.
lt will be appreciated that the objects of the invention may be achieved by connecting the detector 74 across lineconductor 46 and equipment ground conductor 51 so as to provide a current leakage path to ground when the temperature rises to a dangerous level. In this arrangement a current limiting resistor should be connected in series with the detector. However, Underwriters Laboratory and the various electrical Codes frown on the practice of imposing a fault on the line side of a power circuit for any purpose, consequently simulating a ground fault on the neutral side, as herein illustrated, is seen to be the better approach to practicing the present invention.
The invention has been described operating in con junction with a GFCI unit since there is a current trend to require such units at least on some of the circuits in a residence where shock hazards are most common. Thus, locating the detector 74 in load outlets serviced by such ground fault protected circuits provides fire detection capability in addition to shock protection at minimal additional cost. It will be appreciated that instead of using a GFCl unit, per se, the tickler coil" feature provided by transformer 56 may be utilized to sense a ground faulted neutral conductor, as simulated by detector 74, and signal an electronic module, which. in turn, activates an alarm directly without effecting circuit interruption or activates a shunt trip associated with the circuit breaker in the affected circuit or the main circuit breaker 28 in load center 10. Such circuit interruption may also be accompanied by the activation of an alarm.
While the present invention has been described utilizing thermal detectors, it will be appreciated that other types of abnormal or hazardous condition detec tors, such as smoke, unauthorized intrusion, gas, etc., detectors may be utilized.
it will thus be seen that objects set forth above. among those made apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained and, since certain changes may be made in the above constructions without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

The Bush administration yesterday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a federal appellate court ruling protecting medical marijuana patients and caregivers from prosecution by the federal government. If the high court agrees to take the case, the safety and well-being of tens of thousands of patients in states that have enacted medical marijuana laws will hang in the balance.
What's the problem here? Well, it's simple: the Federal Government has no authority to regulate drugs, medical or recreational. Of course, that hasn't stopped them. In only a few short years we have gone from Prohibition (which required a Constitutional Amendment, and which was then properly repealed) to a never-ending War on Drugs with absolutely no Constitutional basis.
The 9th Circuit said that wouldn't fly in their district, and quite properly so, when the major state therein (California) has passed a medical marijuana law. (The 9th Circus isn't my favorite court by a long shot, but sometimes they do get it right).
And the Federal Government wants the Supreme Court to overrule the 9th Circuit and say that they can lock up those damn drug fiends once and for all!

Virgin to Gardening...
Hi all,
I'm glad I found this web site, it seems everyone is helpful. I am a young mom who has recently taken up gardening. My problem however is time. I work full time, go to school, and my son is in many sports. That being said, I buy seeds, plant them where I think they'll look good, (with regard to the sun requirements)water and miracle grow, and then wait impatiently for everything to bloom. Not smart, I know. This year I may have screwed up. I planted Cosmos, Canterbury Bells, Sunflowers, Bachelor Buttons, Candytuft, Zinnia, Morning Glories, Moonflower Vines, Four O'Clocks, Alysum, and more that I can't remember. I wasn't careful about keeping the seed packets, and there's a couple beds that I don't have a clue what's coming up. I have a lot of green, but the only blooms so far are on the Zinnia and Alysum. I don't even think that the Cosmos ever even came up! (I'm not sure as the Four O'Clocks are a huge mass of greenery and could be hiding Cosmos somewhere). Any advice from anyone on the other plants?
The sunflowers usually grow quite big, depending on the variety. If you planted in spring, they should be at least 3' tall by now. The leaves are course & rough.
Moonvine & morning Glory are vines w/ skinny stems. They'll wrap themselves around the other plants if you don't give them something else to wrap around & climb.
Maybe you can look up pictures of the plants on the internet so you can identify them, and see if maybe the plants need more spacing between them. Usually seeds are planted closely, but as they sprout thinning is needed. Different plants need different space requirements.
Good Luck!

An IRCE speaker will discuss how those touchpoints are changing web retailing.
As more consumers use mobile devices and social networks to communicate and shop, retailers must finds ways not only to reach those shoppers but also to track how campaigns work across those two channels, says Aaron Mandelbaum, CEO of fashion search engine StyleQuest.com. He will speak next month at the Internet Retailer Conference and Exhibition 2012 during a session entitled "SoMo technologies: Powering up the social and mobile revolutions."
During the session, Mandelbaum will talk about how the latest social media marketing and mobile technologies are changing e-retail. He also will talk about how online retailers can measure the impact of changes to their mobile sites and track their social campaigns. "What's happening with mobile and social is it's affecting the way we communicate," he says. "It's not like we have to go home so we can get on our computers and be social."
But retailers are still figuring out how to effectively reach consumers via social and mobile. For example, some retailers become frustrated with Facebook promotions after posting coupons on their fan pages and not being able to measure results, he says. He suggests they create a unique coupon code for offers that appear on the social network, so they can see which consumers are coming from Facebook versus elsewhere on the web.
During the session, Mandelbaum also will talk about formatting sites so they automatically adjust to the screens of various mobile devices. Other topics he'll cover include location-based mobile marketing and mobile payments.
Internet Retailer's editors asked Mandelbaum to speak because he also was web marketing manager for Big M Inc., which operates women's fashion brands. While there, he was responsible for social media and online marketing. Mandelbaum plans to launch two versions of StyleQuest and is beginning to expand internationally.

Lunch in Paris: A Love Story, with Recipesby Elizabeth Bard
In Paris for a weekend visit, Elizabeth Bard sat down to lunch with a handsome Frenchman--and never went home again. Was it love at first sight? Or was it the way her knife slid effortlessly through her pavé au poivre, the steak's pink juices puddling into the buttery pepper sauce? LUNCH IN PARIS is a memoir about a young American woman caught up in two passionate love affairs--one with her new beau, Gwendal, the other with French cuisine. Packing her bags for a new life in the world's most romantic city, Elizabeth is plunged into a world of bustling open-air markets, hipster bistros, and size 2 femmes fatales. She learns to gut her first fish (with a little help from Jane Austen), soothe pangs of homesickness (with the rise of a chocolate soufflé) and develops a crush on her local butcher (who bears a striking resemblance to Matt Dillon). Elizabeth finds that the deeper she immerses herself in the world of French cuisine, the more Paris itself begins to translate. French culture, she discovers, is not unlike a well-ripened cheese-there may be a crusty exterior, until you cut through to the melting, piquant heart. Peppered with mouth-watering recipes for summer ratatouille, swordfish tartare and molten chocolate cakes, Lunch in Paris is a story of falling in love, redefining success and discovering what it truly means to be at home. In the delicious tradition of memoirs like A Year in Provence and Under the Tuscan Sun, this book is the perfect treat for anyone who has dreamed that lunch in Paris could change their life.

Candidates in Bonita mayoral runoff meet in face-to-face debate
Get all ten rounds of the debate, plus photos, election coverage and special behind-the-scenes action on our "GREAT DEBATE" page. Watch Now >>
With a runoff election fast approaching in Bonita Springs, mayoral candidates Jay Arend and Ben Nelson both say they have what it takes to lead the city over the next four years.
Click this link or on the video link to the left on this page to view the debate.
The two candidates had a chance to make that case Thursday, answering questions in a forum held in the offices of the Bonita Daily News and The Banner.
Arend, the incumbent, described the mayor's job as much more than "baby-kissing and ribbon-cutting," and he said the city needs someone with experience lobbying in Tallahassee on the city's behalf — something he said his opponent hasn't done.
Nelson, who recently left office after holding a seat on the City Council for eight years, said he would bring other experience to the mayor's job — as well as all the relationships he has built over the years with transportation officials at the county and state levels — and he described the difference between himself and Arend as a matter of "interpersonal skills."
The upcoming election will be the second time Bonita Springs voters will be asked to cast a ballot for mayor this year. None of the four mayoral candidates won a majority of the more than 12,000 votes cast in the Jan. 29 city elections — an outcome that triggered a runoff election under the city charter.
So after nearly a year of campaigning, the top two vote-getters in the first election — Arend and Nelson — will be on the ballot again April 8. Early voting begins Monday at the Bonita Springs branch of the Lee County elections office on Old 41 Road. It is also possible to vote absentee.
Arend, who retired to Bonita Springs after a career in agribusiness, received more than 33 percent of the initial vote. Nelson, who runs a marine contracting business, received nearly 47 percent.
Thursday night, the candidates took turns answering questions — most posed in advance by Daily News and Banner readers — on subjects ranging from new development to the ethics of holding office.
Asked about the biggest difference between the candidates, Nelson's take was that "it's a matter of style and interpersonal skills."
Arend said that left him "somewhat offended."
He's heard it before: Nelson claims to have a "more diplomatic, tactful, considerate style of leadership than I offer," Arend said. "Of course, I don't agree with that premise."
During the forum and again after it was over, Arend criticized remarks Nelson has made about not wanting Bonita Springs to become San Carlos Park, saying that for a candidate who claims to be good at building relationships, that's no way to talk about a neighboring community.
But Nelson didn't back away from the comment. "As far as me referring to San Carlos, me not wanting Bonita Springs to be like San Carlos Park: Guilty as charged. I don't," Nelson said.
To him, the remark was no more disparaging than someone saying they don't want Bonita Springs to look like Naples.
The candidates also talked about their approaches to conflicts of interest that can face elected officials.
Both candidates agreed it's a difficult issue — both the public perception and the realities of holding office in a city while at the same time living and doing business there.
Nelson's take was that a fear of conflicts shouldn't keep working people from running for city office. "People of all kinds can take part in government," he said. "You don't need to be a professional politician. You don't need to be retired."
That's one of the things the city attorney helps with, he said: to review potential conflicts to see if it would be appropriate for the mayor or a council member to be recused from a vote.
Arend agreed.
"It's going to be very difficult to be involved in politics or government without having some ties somewhere where you're going to have to recuse yourself," he said.
He did note that once he became mayor, he decided the only property he would own in the city would be his house.
"I don't want to be exposed to any questions at all, if at all possible," he said. "It's very tough, no doubt about it."
One question directed at Arend was whether some of the recent endorsements his campaign has received mean that he's now affiliated with the local political action group, the Taxpayers Action Group.
Arend recently received endorsements from Councilman Richard Ferreira and Councilman Pat McCourt — both of whom have received money from TAG in the past.
"I think their endorsement was because of leadership qualities," Arend said, rejecting the idea that accepting their support makes him the newest TAG member.
"Do you know who the members of TAG are? I don't," he said. "I don't think that is an issue here. I'm my own person."
Nelson said he believes Arend has integrity, and that he wouldn't be persuaded from voting his mind.
"I don't think anybody's going to make him vote one way or the other. I've tried before," Nelson said.
The candidates sparred slightly over who has the stronger record on being willing to ask developers to pay for the city's infrastructure needs.
Arend called it part of his job as mayor to press developers to pay for the impacts their projects will have, and he said Nelson has been "reluctant" to push for that during his time on the council.
Nelson disagreed, saying he'd never been bashful about asking developers to pay their fair share. Doing more, he said, would push the borders of being legal.
Asked whether the candidates would promote a climate for industry and manufacturing in the city, Arend said, yes, the city needs a light industrial park.
"We need to diversify our economy," he said. "It's too bad we had to have a downturn in our economy to make us realize that. We can't depend on the building and tourist industry forever."
With help from Florida Gulf Coast University and certain city residents, Arend said, the city could build an industrial park and "create some decent-paying jobs for our people" — all without spending tax dollars.
Nelson said industrial areas should be focused elsewhere. He suggested areas along Alico Road and Corkscrew Road in unincorporated Lee County and along Immokalee Road in Collier County.
"I'm not sure that's what Bonita Springs is all about," he said. "I think we have to be careful when we're going to promote that."
Instead, he'd want to concentrate the city's time and energy on its downtown area.
If their views on the benefits of industrial development differed, there were many more areas where the candidates mostly agreed.
Both said they'd like to see City Hall relocate downtown at some point in the future. And both said they'd be willing to allow some new development on city land east of Interstate 75.
Neither candidate described the land in its current state as pristine.
Since the city doesn't have the money to buy the land and restore it to its original state, Nelson said, "We do, we really do need to allow some development out there."
That may not happen soon, and he said it ought to happen slowly, as there would be issues with traffic.
Whatever is built in the eastern area of the city — part of the Density Reduction Groundwater Resource Area and land with zoning restrictions — Arend said that the city's drinking water supply wouldn't be in jeopardy.
"Most of the water that we drink comes from aquifers that are recharged out in the Orlando area," he said.

That would be one way to pay for efforts to tackle water quality, he said.
He also pointed to actions the city has taken to protect the area: banning new mining ventures within the city limits, for instance.
