One or more bi-stable segments are provided wherein relative movement of the end of a bi-stable segment causes a snap action into a reversely-curved configuration. Switch contacts are only engaged or disengaged after the switch has snapped into a stable configuration.
12 Claims, 17 Drawing Figures 'MENHED UAR 2 6 i974 SHEET UF 5 LOW PROFILE KEYBOARD SWITCH ASSEMBLY WITH SNAP ACTION CANTILEVER CONTACT This invention relates to snap-acting devices of a type in which a gradual motion of one portion or a part is translated into a sudden motion of another portion or part, and more particularly, to a snap-action switch which employs this phenomenon.
In recent years, the need has arisen for keyboards for use with substantially pocket-size electronic calculators. In attempting to achieve thinner and thinner profiles for the calculator, the design constraints imposed upon the keyboard have been such that very limited key travel is available to establish contact for data entry purposes. From a human factors standpoint, it has been deemed desirable in key-operated devices to-provide an audible and/or tactile signal when the key has been actuated.
In those applications where substantial key travel is available, the movement of the key provides the tactile signal. Yet other tactile signals include audible clicks or mechanical detents which can be felt while operating the key.
In satisfying the need for a relatively thin device with only limited key travel available, it has been deemed desirable to provide audible and tactile feedback which could provide a signal, within the limited distance of key travel available.
Prior art devices have employed snap action devices. One such device includes a concave disc positioned above contacts on a printed circuit board. When a key is depressed, the concave disc is depressed into an overcenter condition which provides a conductive link between the contacts. Upon release of the key, the disc is restored to its normal concave shape and the contact is broken.
Other devices employing a snap action principle have been disclosed in the several patents to D. F. Wilkes, U. S. Pat. Nos. 3,479,624; 3,543,595; 3,539,742; and 3,636,284, among others. It is noted, however, that the principles employed in the Wilkes devices add a degree of complexity which is unnecessary in a simple keyboard application.
It has been deemed desirable to adapt the basic principle ofa deformed elastic member which has two positions of stability to the needs ofa key switch and, more particularly to a full keyboard wherein a plurality of switches could be fabricated as a single assembly.
According to the present invention, a single sheet of a conductive material is fabricated to include a cantilever arm that has two portions. A first portion is deformed to provide a relatively shorter support arm. A remaining, relatively longer, tongue member is, as a result stressed into a convex or concave configuration to allow for the difference in length. At the free end of the cantilever there is provided a contact which is adapted to engage a terminal. In a preferred embodiment, the contact is bifurcated.
As a force is applied near the free end of the cantilever, the cantilever, as a unit, is bent. A fulcrum or support is provided under the relatively longer, tongue portion which bends until the forces holding it in one of its stable curved configurations are overcome, causing it to snap to its opposite curvature. An additional force and motion is imparted to the free end of the cantilever member in the direction of motion, closing the contact.
The material, in a preferred embodiment, is a spring material, such as phosphor bronze, beryllium copper or stainless steel, that provides an audible click as the tongue portion snaps into its second stable configuration. This imparts to the operator both an audible and a tactile signal that the switch has been operated and that the contact has been made. As the key is released, changes on the forces on the tongue portion cause it to snap to its opposite or initial curvature. The snap upon opening again provides an audible and tactile signal to the operator that the contact has been opened.
'The switch is carefully designed so that contact can not be made and released by teasing" the switch with slight increases or decreases of pressure on the key mechanism. Further, the snap action provides a more or less standardized force of contact closure, substantially independent of the mode of operating the key. Once the switch is closed, after the snap action has taken place, additional pressure on the key will not increase the pressure between the movable and stationary contacts of the switch since it is desirable to have contact force independent of operator force.
In alternate configurations, a plurality of snap action switch members may be fabricated from a single sheet of material to faciliate assembly into a keyboard. The movable contacts can be designed to cooperate with various types of stationary contacts. In different applications, one may employ a flat contact pad on a printed circuit board, a post or terminal on a base plate or board, or an elevated contact area on a printed circuit board.
By appropriate shaping of the movable contacts, each type of stationary contact can be accommodated. Further, the sheet can be designed so that groups of switches can be electrically isolated. from other switches or groups of switches. Contacts can easily be supplied to establish a separate electrical circuit to each key or group of keys.
The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof will be better understood from the following description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which several preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for the purpose of illustration and description only and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective of a keyboard employing the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the keyboard of FIG. 1, FIGS. 2A-2D, inclusive, illustrating keys in actuated and unactuated conditions;
FIG. 3 including FIGS. 3A and 3B is a front section view of an actuated and unactuated key 12C of FIG. 2, taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2C taken in the direction of the appended arrows;
FIGS. 4A and 4B are a perspective view of a switch in the open and closed positions, respectively;
FIG. 5 is a top view of a plurality of switch members according to one employment of the invention at an early state of fabrication;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of one of the switches of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a side view of the switch of FIG. 6 at a later stage in fabrication; and
FIG. 8, including FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C, is an end view of a key switch combination, illustrating an alternative contact configuration.
Turning first to FIG. 1, there is shown in perspective view, a low profile keyboard 10 according to the present invention. Included are a plurality of individual keys 12 which are arranged in groups such as a numerical group 14 and different function groups 16, 18. In the illustrated embodiment, a printed circuit extends from the end of the keyboard 10 and is adapted to be coupled to an appropriate connector or wires (not shown) which electrically interconnect the keyboard 10 to a system.
According to the present invention, each key 12 has a limited vertical travel available to it, and, accordingly, must provide adequate tactile and auditory clues to the user when a key 12 is either actuated or released.
Turning next to FIG. 2, there is shown in side section a plurality of differing keys 12A-12D, inclusive. Each of these keys is separately illustrated in the enlarged sectional views of FIGS. '2A-2D, inclusive, respectively. It will be noted that each of the keys 12A through 12D differs slightly in design detail and have been included as illustrative of alternative approaches that can be taken to the design of a particular key.
In FIG. 2, there can be clearly seen the several ele ments that combine to form the keyboard. A frame member 22 overlies an insulating sealer membrane 24 and a switch plate 26, includes all of the movable switch contacts. A spacer plate 28 supports the switch plate 26 and a printed circuit board 30, which contains the stationary contacts, acts as a bottom or base plate.
In FIG. 2A, a first key switch 12A is shown having projecting lugs at the front and rear of the key. A rear lug 32 rides in an appropriate slot 34 and the key 12A is mounted to pivot about that point of attachment. A forward lug 36 is provided to limit upward key travel and cooperates with an overhanging lip 38 in the key plate 22.
A switch cam 40 engages a movable switch member 42, which is an integral part of the switch plate 26. The movable switch member 42 is actuated through the insulating sealer membrane 24. As the key 12A is depressed, the cam 40 exerts a downward force on the movable switch portion 42 until a stationary switch contact 44 is engaged.
In the illustrated embodiment, the stationary contact 44 is an elevated portion of the base plate printed circuit board with suitable contact material 46 integral therewith to complete a circuit with the movable switch portion 42.
FIGS. 2B through 2D, inclusive, illustrate alternative switch configurations in both actuated and unactuated positions. FIG. 2B, shows a key 12B which lacks a front lug but provides, to service the same function, side lugs 368 which limit the upward travel of the key 12b. All other elements of the key assemblies of FIGS. 28 through 2D are substantially the same as in FIG 2A. The same reference numerals with the suffix 8" appended thereto have been applied to the components of FIG 2B. The remaining FIGS. 2C and 2D have not been described in detail.
A front view of the key 12C, for example, is shown in FIG. 3 which includes FIG. 3A corresponding to the key 12C in the unactuated configuration, and FIG. 3B which is a view of the key 12C when actuated. As is shown, a movable contact 42C is disengaged from stationary contact 44C in FIG. 3A, but is shown in contact in FIG. 3B, as the key 12C is shown in the depressed or actuated configuration.
In FIG. 4, including FIGS. 4A and 4B, a single switch 48 according to the present invention is shown in perspective view. FIG. 4A shows the switch 48 in the open configuration while FIG 4B shows the switch 48 in the closed configuration. The key, frame member and sealer membrane of FIG. 2 have been omitted for clarity of explanation of the operation of the switch 48.
A switch plate 50 is made of a conductive material which is also resilient such as phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, or stainless steel. Th movable switch portion 52 is cut or otherwise fabricated from the main plate 50. The switch plate 50 rests on a spacer plate 54 which, in turn, rests on a printed circuit board 56. In this embodiment, the printed circuit board 56 has a conductive pad 58 as the stationary switch contact.
The movable switch member 52 includes a bifurcated contact pair 60 at the free end of the movable switch member 52. In this embodiment, the contact pair 60 is bent toward the base plate to assure good electrical contact with the pad 58.
A pair of slots 62 running from the fixed end toward the movable end of the movable switch member 52 divides it into a central tongue portion 64 and supporting arm portions 66. A crimp or bend 68 is placed in the supporting arm portion 66 near the point of attachment to the switch plate 50.
The crimp 68 has two purposes. First, it imparts a generally upward bias to the switch member 52 and, second, it shortens the supporting arms 66 relative to the tongue portion 64, thereby introducing a curvature into the tongue portion 64 extending out of the plane of the movable switch member 52. The spacer plate 54 provides a support tab 70 which influences or controls the operation of the tongue, as to where it snaps, and how crisply it does so.
As the movable switch member 52 is cammed downward by the action of the key, the arm portions 66 pivot about the point of attachment behind the crimp 68.
The tongue portion 64, however, is constrained to pivot about the stiffening tab 70 acting as a fulcrum. Accordingly, the movable arm 52 moves downward. The free end continues to bend until the tongue portion 64 is substantially straight. As the free end continues to move downward, the tongue portion 64 snaps into a reverse curvature, reducing the force applied to the key top by the finger.
The dimensions and placement of the movable switch members 52 are such that the continued downward movement of the free end does not engage contact 60 with pad 58 until after the tongue portion 64 has reversed its curvature. The contact pair 60 can be bent or shaped to adjust the point of switch travel at which the contact is made."
While FIGS. 4A and 48 have shown a flat pad, stationary contact 58 in cooperation with a bent contact pair 60, other alternative embodiments utilizing a raised stationary contact such as is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 would operate in substantially the same fashion,
with the movable switch arm contacts being coplanar with the body of the arm.
Turning next to FIG. 5, there is shown a switch plate 126, fabricated from a single sheet of material. As shown, sheet 126 can be punched, stamped or chemically etched or milled into the configuration shown wherein a plurality of movable switch members 152 are provided. A plurality of contact tabs 130 are provided to engage conductors on a printed circuit base plate (not shown) to complete the electrical circuit of individual switches.
As shown, the switch members are adapted to be isolated from each other in groups corresponding to the groups shown in FIG. 1, such as a numerical group 114, and the function groups 116 and 118. This would be accomplished by severing the connections at the parting lines so that each switch within a group would be electrically interconnected but that switch groups would be isolated from each other. As shown, a separate contacting tab 130 is provided for each of the potential groups. I
Turning to FIG. 6, there is shown in somewhat greater detail, one of the movable switch segments of the plate 126 of FIG. 5. As shown, and corresponding to the reference numerals of FIG. 4, the movable switch member is initially formed from a planar blank and has the contact 160 at the free end of a cantilever arm. A pair of slots 162 divide the cantilever into central tongue portion 164 and supporting arms 166.
In FIG. 7, which is an enlarged side view of the switch of FIG 6, a crimp or bend 168 is made in the arm portions 166 which imparts a bias to the arm 152. As shown, the supporting arms I66 are in the plane of the movable member while the tongue portion 164 has a curvature imposed upon it out of that plane.
Turning finally to FIGS. 8A, 8B and 8C, there are shown alternative stationary contact configurations suitable for use in cooperation with the movable switch of the present invention. FIG. 8A shows a nail head or rivet contact 180 which can be electrically connected to circuits from the bottom side of the base plate member 182. FIG. 88 illustrates a contact 184 which is raised and formed from the base plate material, and which is covered with a conductive material 186, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 8C illustrates a flat pad contact 188 as shown in FIG. 4.
Thus there has been shown a novel switch configuration which provides a tactile and audible signal when actuated. A movable cantilever member includes a prestressed portion that has a first curvature with the cantilever in a first position. As the cantilever moves to a second position through a center position, the prestressed portion reverses its curvature with an audible snap or click and which accelerates the actuation of the switch. Releasing the switch, the cantilever moves to the first position and the prestressed portion again reverses its curvature to its first curvature.
A plurality of similar switches are easily fabricated from a sheet of spring material using mass production tecnhiques. A keyboard can be quickly fabricated using such a switch plate together with a printed circuit board containing stationary contacts, and a spacer plate with keys and a frame member added. The combination is easily assembled.

Beautiful art work at Byward market.
In hidden away courtyards by Byward market are several lovely works of art.
My first photo is of the Tin House (2003), which I find awesome. It is the facade of a house of tinsmith Honoré Foisy. He advertised by decorating the outside of his house. This work of art is made of original and fabricated parts of the house. It is a fun idea, putting the facade of a tin house on the wall of another house. It was put up here in the courtyard in 1973 (which was then named after the facade) and in 2003 it was restored again.
My second and third photos af of the Angel - which is a cast iron angel given to the National Capital Commission in 1979 by the Catholic Church. The angel stood over the door of a chapel by a cemetary. The Angel is located by the Beaux-Arts Courtyard.
My fourth photo is called Young girl (1986) by John Ivor Smith. By this courtyard Jeanne d'Arc institute was located - which was run by nuns and was a residence of young women - the statue represents a young woman playing with a hoop - with a reference to God as well as she is holding the hoop over her head looking at it. It is loaced in the Jeanne d'Arc Court.
My fifth photo is located in the same courtyard as the Young girl, and is called Dancing Bear (1999) by the Inuit artist from Nunavut, Pauta Saila. The artist is well known for his dancing bears - or playing bears. The statue of the bear is amazing, it actually looks like it is a blown up balloon.
I recommend looking these works of art up, they are so worth it.
The Alley cats.
There are 14 alley cats in the market area - not easy to find though. These are 14 bronze statues of alley cats by Jean-Yves Vigneau from 1993.
I love art-work like this - they are crudely made cats, almost like a child had made them out of clay.. but they are interesting. Some of them are on top of the building, and some of them are in the windows of the parking lot almost touching the side-walk. I couldn´t find all 14, but I came close.
I am happy I sought them out, they were worth it :D
Bywark market Marché by.
Byward market was established in 1826 and is one of Canada's oldest and largest markets. It is the oldest surviving part of Ottawa.
Now this is my favourite place in Ottawa, the-buzzing-with-life-Byward-market. It is a big market area (4 blocks square) with a European flare to it in my opinion. Countless restaurants and cafés, vegetable and fruit stalls, flower stalls, jewellery and clothes stalls. And the Byward inside market with lots of restaurants and stores which are open onto the street. This being Canada with cold winters then the outside stalls are only open during the warmer months though.
During the weekends in the summer time there is outdoor entertainment (buskers) and on a sunny day being there is heaven I say :) The many restaurants and cafés are then filled with people.
We always meet up with one friend here - and I have had lunch with a VT-member here at Byward market.
See additional photos of the market area in a travelogue here.
McClintock´s Dream
Hanging in the roof of Byward market is an awesome piece of art, I love it. It is so colourful and matches perfectly the colourful atmosphere of the market. It is a cloud on which sit slaughters and salespeople at the market. Absolutely delightful.
It was made by the Hungarian Victor Tolgesy in 1978.
One can get so close to the artwork by going up on the second floor where the toilets are - from there one can get very good photos.
The artist was an abstract artist, but turned away from it and created such cheerful artwork. In Gatineau there is artwork by the same artist called the Explorer II - it is not to my taste - see my tip on my Gatineau page.

See a totem pole in the city
ByWard Market is a lively market where you'll find flowers, fresh fruit, souvenirs, clothes, some delicacies like maple syrup, etc.. I walked by it in late afternoon and early evening so there wasn't much activity there, but I enjoyed the scenery.
I also found the totem pole on the first picture there, and I was wondering if I was going to find a stand selling aborigine stuff but there wasn't any.

Beer, Wine and a Freebie Cheeseboard
After a hard day's shopping around the market's many excellent little shops a beer and a nibble become a pretty attractive option. When the beer list runs to 21 pages and the nibbles are complimentary then the option becomes even more attractive.
Vineyards is a basement wine bar and bistro just before the corner of York and Byward Market and instead of having a cut-price "Happy Hour" offers a freebie cheeseboard between 4 and 6 from Sunday to Thursday. As would be expected from a 21 page beer menu there are some excellent beers on offer from all over the world as well as a good selection from local microbreweries. And its not just beer, the wine list runs to 28 pages with many available by the glass.
Wine or beer aside though, the cheese was the main draw for me personally and the freebie offering doesn't consist of the "el cheapo" little morsels found elsewhere but rather comprises a proper cheeseboard with big chunks of an international selection of very good cheeses.
Yep, help yourself to as little or much as you'd like, accompanied by some tasty crackers and home-made fruit chutney, wash it down with a drop of your favourite tipple and if you fancy seconds feel free!!

A farmer's market experience in the urban core
Byward Market is undoubtedly one of Ottawa's most famous attractions. It is much livelier in the the summer than in the winter (when I took the pictures) as a number of small producers from the region (both Ontarians and Québecois) come to sell their produce (fruits and vegetables, speciality products, organic goods, maple syrup) to the public and especially to tourists. Inside the actual market there are a number of unique and speciality food stands at which you can purchase groceries or a meal. To be honest, there is little point in buying the ethnic food from the stands - it is expensive and the quality isn't all that great. For that sort of food you're better off looking for a sit down restaurant somewhere in the city. The good part of the market is the bakery/café section at either end, where you can get great coffee and even better pastries and sweets. There are some tables set up (outside as well in the summer) so that customers can enjoy the goodies in a bit of small town atmosphere. The market is not the best place to be after closing hours, however, as the numerous enclosed spaces are ideal places for the homeless to bed down and its proximity to Ottawa's clubs and bars means that the area is no stranger to brawls and drunken mischief.

Checking out the Market area
This can be a fun way to spend an afternoon...regardless of any reason its a pretty lively place just to look around ,grab a meal,or shop for whatever you want.
There are East Indian Restaurants,Middle Eastern,Italian,Mexican,Steak and Seafood,Thai,Sushi...whatever your taste might be.
There is a great selection of fresh produce and annual and perrenial plant vendors,if you happen to need a henna tatoo done or if you've arrived in town and you've forgotten your slippers than you can find it at the market...
Guaranteed daily entertainment can always be found simply by finding a comfy spot to hang and drink a coffee or a cold one....and watch the characters that are sure to be found on any given day.
This is one of the main venues for buskers...particularly when the "Busker Festival" hits town ...usually in early August.You'll have to cut and pase this link.....sorry...if you might want more info about the Festival.

I'm not what he wants... So why does he stick around?
He likes (more like loves) Asian girls. I'm black. He likes diet & fitness and slim girls. I have more to love, and not in a big rush to get rid of... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
You've already answered your question...he picked you, that's why he sticks around. If he didn't want to be with you he wouldn't be. I know how hard it is to figure out why someone is with you, especially if you have low confidence. But you are going to drive him away if you keep telling him your not good enough. Take comfort in the fact that he could be with a girl that can fit in a bikini, is asian, and completly his type...but picked you. There must me something special if he picked you. Its hard when you are young to realize this but love is blind. My fiance wants me to lose weight and be healthy too...but he is going to love me no matter if I'm skinny as a rail, or as big as a bus. Don't worry so much and just be you, that's when the person we are with loves us the most!
I'm speechless.
But in a good way...
What you said just made so much sense!
(BTW, welcome to GAG!)
Lol, well I speak from experience. My finace (in my mind) can do soo much better. But he picked me. When we started going out I was just like you, I doubted his wanting to be with me becuase I felt like I didn't fit his criteria. But he told me, he picked me. No need to wonder why, just know he loves me and that's all that matters. And since then I may not like the way I look, but I don't wonder or doubt him. Hope I helped!

because you have an incomparable personality.
I can say that " real love" is what he truly feels about you.
don't compare yourself to anyone because you have your own lovely personality...
trust yourself girl...
Oh, no... he's not in "love". He told me that he wasn't looking for love in our relationship. He just wanted to take whatever came our way and see where it led. (We're not typical a boyfriend/girlfriend lol) I think we're doing pretty well though.
Thanks for your answer! :D
Actually, I think we're more like FWB than BF/GF.
Have an opinion?

Neufchatel cheese is not the same thing as cream cheese, as a previous reviewer stated. It is similar but is lower in fat so if you are looking to cut calories, use the cheese in the recipe, no...
This was great! I wasn't really sure about the instructions, so i put the milk, cream cheese, and butter in a pan, heated it enough to melt the butter, then whisked it all together. Then I added...
pretty good. i like the idea of using neufchatel as opposed to heavy cream. by the way, everyone, neufchatel cheese is just another name for cream cheese. like philedelphia cream cheese.

Good infrastructure vital for bike-share to succeed
Experts call for seamless routes and bike-friendly road junctions
Published on Jul 4, 2014 6:11 AM
A bike-share trial to be rolled out by next year has the potential to be well received by commuters, but cycling infrastructure must be improved for it to succeed, said experts yesterday.
Off-road cycling paths are being built islandwide, but these will take time to complete and do not address safety concerns for cyclists on the roads, some noted. Meanwhile, it is illegal to ride on footpaths everywhere except in Tampines.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) identified five potential areas for a bike-share scheme in its call for proposals from industry players on Wednesday - Jurong Lake District, the city centre, Tampines, Pasir Ris and Sembawang.
Tampines GRC MP Baey Yam Keng and Jurong GRC MP Ang Wei Neng said there is potential for bike-sharing to be popular in their constituencies, which have ready or upcoming cycling paths and a pool of cyclists.

The benefits of exercise can be greatly affected by the food we eat after it, a new study says.
"Differences in what you eat after exercise produce different effects on the body's metabolism," said the senior study author, Jeffrey F. Horowitz of the University of Michigan (U-M).
The study follows up on several previous studies that demonstrate that many benefits of exercise are transient: one exercise session produces benefits to the body that taper off, generally within hours or a few days.
"Many of the improvements in metabolic health associated with exercise stem largely from the most recent session of exercise, rather than from an increase in 'fitness' per se," Horowitz said.
"But exercise doesn't occur in a vacuum, and it is very important to look at both the effects of exercise and what you're eating after exercise," he said.
Specifically, the study found that exercise enhanced insulin sensitivity, particularly when meals eaten after the exercise session contained relatively low carbohydrate content.
Enhanced insulin sensitivity means that it is easier for the body to take up sugar from the blood stream into tissues like muscles, where it can be stored or used as fuel.
Impaired insulin sensitivity (i.e., "insulin resistance") is a hallmark of Type II diabetes, as well as being a major risk factor for other chronic diseases, such as heart disease.
But the study also found that one does not have to starve after exercise to reap its benefits.
The study is based on healthy sedentary men, aged between 28 and 30 years, said a U-M release.
The study was published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
Keywords: exercise, food, enhanced insulin sensitivity, Type II diabetes, health, study

We didn't want to spend a fortune on a new stove considering we plan to move within a year or two so we decided on this model. Works good overall. Does seem to take a while to preheat. Also, one of our burners doesn't go as low as the others. Can't use it to cook everything or it would burn.

Meet the Networks That Aren't Making the Grade
BY Michelle Garcia
August 03 2011 6:00 AM ET
A&E = Failing
290 - Total Hours of Prime-Time Programming
14.5 - LGBT-Inclusive Hours (5%)
Previous Scores:
2009-10 Score: 3%
2008-09 Score: 1%
2007-08 Score: 4%
A&E has received nothing but failing grades, but at least this year it broadcast more LGBT-inclusive programming than ever. At least 75% of the LGBT-inclusive hours counted on A&E this year can be attributed to Paranormal State's host Ryan Buell, in addition to popular train-wreck program Intervention. The scripted series Breakout Kings features a bisexual inmate named T-Bag.
The network also aired the documentary The September Issue, which includes Vogue editor at large André Leon Talley.
GLAAD Recommends: The report's writers say that telling A&E there's room for improvement "would be an understatement." They suggest the network do more to venture in depth into the lives of LGBT people featured on its shows. Visibility will lessen because Buell announced he won't be returning to Paranormal State for a sixth season.
