Not as in a single beer, but as in one particular brew. I would probably go with the mild which I use as my house recipe. Very sessionable @ a hair under 4% abv, I can drink it all night without getting too crazy. It's flavorful without having any one particular flavor overwhelm, so hop fatigue (or roasted malt fatigue?) isn't an issue. It can be one of your recipes, something you brew from someone else's recipe, or a commercial beer.
What do you say? ONE BEER.
Fuller's ESB. I love that beer and could drink it every day if it was affordable.
My saison. Seriously my absolute favorite beer of all time, homebrewed or storebought.
"Science + beer = good!"
-Adam Savage

a Belgian Abbey my mentor makes..
Either a Saison (DuPont, maybe), or Pranqster.
Abt 12 .
Man this is tough. Uh....... well i am a serious hop head but after a while i could see a Ruination IPA from Stone would get old even though that is my favorite. Something i could drink every day and not get tired of......well lets put it this way, if i had a magic fridge that fills itself and every time i open it I see nice cold Saison Dupont waiting for me, well, i would be happy. Damn now i want one (both)

Cravings Cafe percolates flavorful, full-bodied coffee with 100% Arabica beans secured from a local roaster to sip with gourmet sandwiches and fresh soups. Under the gaze of original artwork, baristas skillfully concoct foamy cappuccinos or decadent mexican hot chocolates and tastefully garnish each cup with a monster-truck Micro Machine ($2–$4). Small bowls of soup du jour ($2.99) tempt palates with bursts of earthy, jour flavor, and turkey sandwiches pop with basil- and parmesan-infused pesto ($5.99). On Thursday evenings, diners can munch falafel wraps ($5.99) as they scrutinize the prowess of amateur entertainers who rendezvous at the café's open-mic night, where host Ramon Rivas invites patrons to read poetry, sing songs, and lip-synch to a laugh track.
If you have trouble deciding among flavors, it would be wise to visit Main Street Cupcakes sooner rather than later: their cupcake list is more than 350 strong, and getting longer all the time. Luckily, only a dozen or two of those inventive varieties grace the bakery case each day, condensing the choices to include their four classics?red velvet, wedding day white, classic vanilla, and classic chocolate?plus a smattering of unique flavors that might include champagne and raspberries, gingerbread latte, or salted watermelon. For those who can?t get enough of these sweet creations, cupcake towers let you bring home a mountain of sugary bliss, and in-store parties let you decorate cupcakes with your favorite toppings or the name of your least favorite dentist.

Frank's appetizer pizza pie is wall-to-wall EVOO, pepperoni, cheese, black olives, tomatoes, ricotta, and Italian spices ($8.99), and a plain cheese pizza ($9.99/six piece) can be customized with toppings, such as mushrooms, pineapple, and Canadian bacon. Uptown toppings, such as meatballs, artichoke hearts, and grilled shrimp ($1.50–$7.50) turn any standard disc into a visually stimulating feast.
Guys Pizza Co.'s pie twirlers knead fresh, local ingredients into daily-made dough destined for pizzas or the eatery's signature Guyzone. Two large pizzas' traditional or thin-crust varieties can be customized with well-spiced seas of classic red, zesty red, white, or pesto sauce.

The Baltimore Sun says "Heck No" to REAL ID.
The Evolution of Charter School Quality
The Baltimore Sun says "Heck No" to REAL ID.
Previously on Cato-at-Liberty, Michael Cannon (post 1, post 2) and Andrew Coulson (post 1, post 2) argued with Jason Furman (on health care) and Sara Mead (on education) about the nature of tax credits and tax breaks.
Furman and Mead claim that tax credits and breaks, because they represent forgone tax revenue, are little different than government subsidies (with a raft of implications). Cannon and Coulson (for various reasons) disagree.
The great "a-ha" moment of the discussion came when Mead pointed to Cato scholars' criticism of ethanol tax credits as subsidies or "tax expenditures." Even other Cato scholars agree that 'tax credit' equals 'government subsidy,' she says.
Surprisingly, up to this point, the argument has largely ignored the use of the credited money/forgone government revenue. I would argue the use of the credited money is fundamental to determining if the credit/tax break is a subsidy.
In the case of an education credit, it is true that government would lose revenue because of the credit. But government has also assumed the obligation to educate the nation's children, and government would be released from that obligation in the case of the child whose schooling is funded by the credited money. Is the credit, thus, a subsidy?
Consider: If Joe owes his bank a $10 fee for its services and, instead of sending Joe a bill, the bank simply deducts that amount from his account, we wouldn't describe Joe as subsidizing the bank (or the bank as subsidizing Joe). Likewise, if government has assumed the obligation to educate little Johnny, but instead Joe pays Johnny's tuition and receives a government tax credit as a result, it seems incorrect to say that Joe has received a subsidy. Instead, just as with the bank and Joe, the education credit represents a net adjustment of Joe's obligation to government and government's obligation to little Johnny.
Now, there may be reasons why government should not make this adjustment, but those reasons would not include that the adjustment is a subsidy to Joe. The only subsidy in this system is government's taking on the obligation to provide little Johnny with schooling — a subsidy that I assume Mead finds acceptable.
Parenthetical #1: I suppose there is one condition under which Joe's education tax credit should be considered a subsidy: if government education expenditures aren't about educating Johnny, but about providing jobs for unionized public school workers. Thus, Joe's paying for Johnny's tuition at a private school wouldn't be fulfilling government's intended obligation. But surely, no one thinks that government education policy is about benefiting unions and bureaucrats instead of educating kids, right?
Health care tax benefits (e.g., HSAs, tax deductions for medical expenses, the tax-free status of employer-provided medical coverage) are a murkier subject. There is no explicit government financial obligation to provide the entire nation with health care (though supporters of socialized medicine claim there should be such an obligation — and, I assume, they are intellectually consistent and support tax breaks and credits for the private provision of health care).
There are, however, legally established government obligations to provide health coverage to the poor (Medicaid, SCHIP, et al.), the elderly (Medicare, Medicaid, et al.) and to guarantee everyone access to care. It may be that the various medical tax credits and insurance tax breaks help government to fulfill those obligations at lower cost than other policies. If that is the case, then tax breaks and credits may be part of the optimal policy for fulfilling that obligation (and Furman would be arguing for a policy change detrimental to welfare).
Parenthetical #2: Full disclosure here — I'm of the camp that health care expenditures should be treated no differently, tax-wise, than other expenditures, and that government has no special a priori obligation to provide health care or health coverage.
Now, juxtapose the above two situations with ethanol tax credits and the other sorts of tax breaks that Cato scholars regularly decry. While there are legally established government obligations to provide schooling for children and health benefits to certain sub-groups of the population, there is (that I'm aware) no government obligation to provide American citizens with corn-based energy for transportation.
Parenthetical #3: I ignore the wacky claim that the U.S. government has an obligation to provide "energy security" so the nation is protected from evil Canadian and Mexican oil sheiks.
This means that there is no government obligation that ethanol producers can fulfill privately, and thus receive a tax credit or tax break. The ethanol industry's tax breaks and benefits are not simply "squaring accounts" in the manner as Joe, little Johnny, and the government. The ethanol tax benefits seem to be clear cases of government subsidy, and they should be criticized as such.
Where does this reasoning leave the discussion between Cannon and Coulson on the one hand, and Furman and Mead on the other? At the very least, it seems Coulson's position is fully consistent with Cato's general critique of subsidies. Further, given the premise that government has some special obligation to provide health care, Cannon's position also seems consistent with Cato's general critique of subsidies.
I am curious, though, whether the Left's sudden concern over subsidies is consistent with positions they take on health care, education, and other policy areas….
Under the benign headline "Turning Apathy Into Good Deeds," former secretary of defense Melvin Laird endorses a strikingly authoritarian proposal: "a system of compulsory universal civil service for young people." Laird recognizes that the military doesn't need all the recruits a draft would produce and that today's high-tech military needs longer-term training and commitment. But the drawn-out war in Iraq threatens to discourage future enlistments. So "universal service" might pressure just enough young people to join the army, while also producing a bumper crop of slave labor for schools, Head Start, Peace Corps, hospitals, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the State Department.
Laird thinks such a program would "foster a culture of responsibility for our democracy." Not among free and responsible people, it wouldn't. It may be no accident that Laird repeatedly mentions democracy, but the words freedom and liberty–the fundamental values of America, which our constitutional republic was created to protect–do not appear in his piece.
Laird does not address how you square compulsory service with the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Laird's proposed "service" is clearly involuntary.
For generations and centuries, old people have complained that today's young people just don't appreciate the sacrifices of their elders. They talk too loud and they don't care about the community. They need, in the words of William James, "to get the childishness knocked out of them, and to come back into society with healthier sympathies and soberer ideas."
And meanwhile, they can do a lot of useful things that we older taxpayers would like to have done but don't want to pay for. After all, in a market economy, if you want more people working in hospitals or day-care centers, you can pay them to do so. And if you don't think $2.9 trillion is enough to pay for all the useful services of the federal government, you can propose a tax increase. But how much easier it might seem just to commandeer four million free or cheap laborers.
Of course, they're not really so cheap. You do have to pay them something. And you'll need massive new layers of bureaucracy to manage four million people (the approximate number of Americans who turn 18 each year).
And then there are the opportunity costs. Workers will be allocated to government make-work jobs instead of the jobs where the market demand is strongest. The economy will be less efficient and less productive. As Doug Bandow writes, "paying young people to sweep floors entails the cost of forgoing whatever else we could do with that money and the cost of forgoing whatever else those young people could do with their time. An additional dollar spent on medical research might be a better investment than one used to add an extra hospital helper; an additional young person who finished school and entered the field of biogenetics might increase social welfare more than one more kid shelving books in a library."
What kind of message does compulsory service send to young people? It tells them that they are national resources, state property, that they do not own themselves. That's not the message the Founders thought they were sending in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It's not an attitude appropriate for citizens of a free society. It's a collectivist, authoritarian concept. It says, with much less charm than the old song, "You belong to me."
Melvin Laird should be ashamed. So should John Edwards.
Okay, the headline is an exaggeration, but Sweden's decision to eliminate the wealth tax already is paying dividends as successful Norwegians contemplate moving across the border to escape Norway's even more punitive tax regime.
Other Nordic nations, including Denmark and Iceland, already have abolished their wealth taxes, so hopefully tax competition will force Norway to end this punitive form of double taxation:
There are not many countries in which Sweden would be considered a tax haven, but one wealthy Norwegian says she plans to move across the border now that the government has scrapped the wealth tax. Caroline Hagen is the daughter of Norwegian financier Stein Erik Hagen, and plans to take advantage of the less severe taxes under the new centre-right government. Her sister Camilla could soon follow. Stein Erik Hagen, whose family-owned holding company Canica has major shareholdings in a number of retail companies and consumer goods firms, said that Sweden's decision to axe the wealth tax would encourage many more wealthy Norwegians to cross the border.
"For the past four years, the Clintons have jetted around on Vinod Gupta's corporate plane, to Switzerland, Hawaii, Jamaica, Mexico — $900,000 worth of travel. The former president secured a $3.3 million consulting deal with Gupta's technology firm," according to the Washington Post.
The hot tip? Short the stock of any technology firm that values Bill Clinton's advice at $3.3 million.
The global shark population may be sharply declining, according to an article in the Washington Post. Actually, the article never quite gives a number for the global population, but it does warn that "something must be done to prevent sharks from disappearing from the planet." And there are suggestive reports like this:
In March, a team of Canadian and U.S. scientists calculated that between 1970 and 2005, the number of scalloped hammerhead and tiger sharks may have declined by more than 97 percent along the East Coast, and that the population of bull, dusky and smooth hammerhead sharks dropped by more than 99 percent. Globally, 16 percent of 328 surveyed shark species are described by the World Conservation Union as threatened with extinction.
Post reporter Juliet Eilperin notes that shark attacks can be big news, but in reality sharks kill about 4 people a year worldwide, while people kill "26 million to 73 million sharks annually."
Why kill sharks? To make money, of course, mostly for the Asian delicacy shark-fin soup. Shark fins are much more valuable than shark meat. Mexican shark hunters say they get $100 a kilogram for shark fins but only $1.50 a kilo for meat.
Unlike fish that reproduce in large numbers starting at an early age, most sharks take years to reach sexual maturity and produce only a few offspring at a time. Shark fishermen also tend to target pregnant females, which are more profitable because they are larger. As a result, said Michael Sutton, director of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Center for the Future of the Oceans, "there is no such thing as a sustainable shark fishery."
So OK, here's where Eilperin should have said, "Wait a minute … if there's money to be made, why would greedy capitalists want to destroy the goose that lays the golden egg? Shouldn't they want to maximize their long-term profits?" And if she had, she might have run into a concept called "the tragedy of the commons." Owners try to maximize the long-term value of their property. Timber owners don't cut down all the trees and sell them this year; they cut and replant at a sustainable rate. But when people don't own things, they have no incentive to maintain the long-term value. That's why passenger pigeons went extinct, but chickens did not; why the buffalo was nearly exterminated but not the cow.
But Eilperin says that "sharks take years to reach sexual maturity." Maybe that's why they can't be profitably farmed. Maybe. But elephants also mature slowly, and African countries that allow ownership and markets are seeing booming populations of previously threatened wildlife (pdf).
Oceans, of course, present even more challenges: how do you create private ownership in fish or sharks or sea turtles that can easily move through vast and unfenced bodies of water? It's a more difficult challenge, but attempts to create private solutions that overcome the tragedy of the commons are being studied and experimented with, especially in Iceland.
Eilperin reports on many proposals for "tight new controls" and legislative bans and endangered species lists and catch limits. Those proposals provide no incentives for sustainable harvests, they leave shark hunters every reason to try to evade them, and they failed to protect elephants and tigers. The Post's readers — and the world's sharks — would benefit if Eilperin would do a follow-up article on property-rights solutions that might properly line up incentives and create sustainable shark markets.
Local governments routinely set up taxi cartels, limiting the number of cabs in order to boost profits of (and campaign contributions from) owners. As George Will explains in the Washington Post, one plucky immigrant, with help from the Institute for Justice, has managed to break the cartel in Minneapolis. In response, the cartel is claiming that the loss of their entitlement to monopoly profits is akin to a regulatory taking. Will concludes by stating it would be a good idea if the people who think that they have a right to use government coercion to obtain unearned wealth would leave the country as entrepreneurial immigrants arrive:
Paucar, 37, embodies the best qualities of American immigrants. He is a splendidly self-sufficient entrepreneur. And he is wielding American principles against some Americans who, in their decadent addiction to government assistance, are trying to litigate themselves to prosperity at the expense of Paucar and the public. …In 1937, New York City, full of liberalism's itch to regulate everything, knew, just knew, how many taxicab permits there should be. For 70 years the number (about 12,000) has not been significantly changed, so rising prices have been powerless to create new suppliers of taxi services. Under this government-created scarcity, a permit ("medallion") now costs about $500,000. Most people wealthy enough to buy medallions do not drive cabs, any more than plantation owners picked cotton. They lease their medallions at exorbitant rates to people like Paucar who drive, often for less than $15 an hour, for long days. … Paucar moved… Unfortunately, Minnesota has a "progressive," meaning statist, tradition that can impede the progress of people like Paucar … 343 taxis were permitted. He wanted to launch a fleet of 15. That would have required him to find 15 incumbent license-holders willing to sell their licenses for up to $25,000 apiece. …[He] helped persuade the City Council members, liberals all (12 members of the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party, one member of the Green Party), to vote to allow 45 new cabs per year until 2010, at which point the cap will disappear. In response, the cartel is asking a federal court to say the cartel's constitutional rights have been violated. It says the cap – a barrier to entry into the taxi business – constituted an entitlement to profits that now are being "taken" by government action. …By challenging his adopted country to honor its principles of economic liberty and limited government, Paucar, assisted by the local chapter of the libertarian Institute for Justice, is giving a timely demonstration of this fact: Some immigrants, with their acute understanding of why America beckons, refresh our national vigor. It would be wonderful if every time someone like Paucar comes to America, a native-born American rent-seeker who has been corrupted by today's entitlement mentality would leave.

United States U.S. Census Substitutes
If a census was not taken, if a census is missing, or if it is hard to find a particular ancestor in a census, it may be good to look around for census substitutes. Some census records have been "reconstructed" by the use of substitutes. The following records are often used for census substitutes:
- Tax records
- City directories
- Maps (especially plat and insurance maps)
- Voting registers

I'm a big bourbon guy, and some friends and I recently bought a barrel of Four Roses bourbon. The whiskey is fantastic, and now I've got this 55-gallon barrel just begging me to fill it with something.
I'd like to do a mead. I've done about a dozen or so batches of mead with varying success, so I've got a grasp on most of the basics. Except I've never aged anything in oak, and I'd love to hear from any of you with some input. Any recommendations or advice?
Thanks in advance.
That would be awesome to age an acerglyn in, 75% honey, 25% grade B maple syrup, vanilla beans....I age a similar recipe on oak cubes that I soak in bourbon thats been infused with vanilla beans prior to adding them.
With such a large volume, I would recomend a Vanilla Mead.
Mmm, with Buckwheat honey.
The whisky flavoring and a bit of the oak will bleed through to the flavor. Whisky is usually out of a medium or heavy toast oak. So you will get some carmelly and possibly smoky notes from this. So think along those lines. Hmm, actually with peach season here a Whisky peach sounds great. Just a bit of vanilla, whisky and in the secondary put in some of the maple syrup. Also some nutmet or cinnamon to spice it up a bit.
That sounds good. But seriously, any mead would be good out of it. Just expect the barrel to give a little of the whisky flavor and a touch of the carmelly smokyness from the oak. Should be good.
How long did it take you to run through 55 gallons of bourbon?
55 gallons of mead; that's a serious investment. I'd give some serious thought to a medium show mead, a varietal that goes well with the bourbon flavour. I'm a big fan of orange blossom honey & it would seem that the floral orange blossom flavour would work with the bourbon. I like Matrix's idea of buckwheat honey, but I think I'd use just a little bit (mixed with the orange blossom); just enough to provide a hint of that pseudo-molasses flavour. I've heard buckwheat honey can add a "barnyard" flavour, so I think I'd go light on it. I'm liking the sound of an orange blossom/buckwheat/bourbon mead, aged in the barrel for a year or two.
There was another guy on this forum who did a full barrel of mead, seems like it was a couple years back...http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f30/110-...barrels-39098/
Not sure if it helps, but BobbyM has actually done a big barrel batch; odds are good he'd have a tip or two.
Regards, GF.

Is there a geomorphological case for the Anthropocene?
Chaired by Stephen Tooth, with panellists Professor Tony Brown, Simon Price and Professor Andreas Lang. Are we in the Anthropocene and no longer in the Holocene? Has human activity integrated and changed natural processes? Have we created our own geological time period?
ESEX Commentaries
The Anthropocene: is there a geomorphological case?
The 'Anthropocene', as used to describe the interval of recent Earth history during which humans have had an 'overwhelming' effect on the Earth system, is now being formally considered as a possible new geological Epoch. Such a new geological time interval (possibly equivalent to the Pleistocene Epoch) requires both theoretical justification as well as empirical evidence preserved within the geological record. Since the geological record is driven by geomorphological processes that produce terrestrial and near-shore stratigraphy, geomorphology has to be an integral part of this consideration. For this reason, the British Society for Geomorphology (BSG) has inaugurated a Fixed Term Working Group to consider this issue and advise the Society on how geomorphologists can engage with debates over the Anthropocene.
Marking time in Geomorphology: should we try to formalise an Anthropocene definition?
The value of a formally defined Anthropocene for geomorphologists is discussed. Human impacts have been diachronistic, multifaceted and episodic, as demonstrated by the record of alluvial deposition in the UK. Rather than boxing time into discrete eras or periods, modern research uses calendar dates and multiple dating techniques to explore co-trajectories for a range of human impacts. Despite the value of 'The Anthropocene' as an informal concept and as a prompt to useful debate, arriving at a single, generally acceptable formal definition is impractical, and has some disadvantages.

Chalkboard stats: Cutler's big throw
December, 28, 2010
By Trevor Ebaugh | ESPNChicago.com
This week's edition of Chalkboard Stats focuses on the decisive play in the Chicago Bears win over the New York Jets on Sunday, the 26-yard touchdown pass from Jay Cutler to Johnny Knox that gave the Bears the lead for good in the third quarter.
Using the diagram above, let's take a closer look at the play and see how it defied the statistical analysis to this point in the season.
A) Cutler, under center, takes a straight dropback
Twenty-one quarterbacks entered Week 16 with at least 300 pass attempts on a straight dropback (snap taken under center without the use of play-action, rollout, bootleg, etc), and only the San Diego Chargers' Philip Rivers averaged more yards per attempt than Jay Cutler's 7.7.

A latch tongue of a lock has a pair of contact points which are respectively connected to the gate and the cathode of a silicon controlled rectifier. When the lock is closed, the latch tongue is in a latch tongue housing which connects the points together thereby providing a connection between the gate and cathode. Additionally, the closing of the lock with a key causes a series connection of the anode and cathode of the rectifier with a bell and a voltage source. When the latch tongue is removed from the housing, the gate to the cathode connection is broken thereby causing the application of the voltage of the source to the bell.
1. In a lock of the type having a latch tongue which is received within a latch tongue housing by rotating a key in a tumbler assembly, the improvement comprising: a voltage source;
a first contact connected to said tumbler assembly for movement in response to a rotation of said key;
a second contact which is stationary, said contacts being in an abutting relationship when said latch tongue is received within said housing;
a pair of contact points insulated from each other and mounted upon said latch tongue, said contact points being electrically connected together when said latch tongue is received within said housing;
a silicon controlled rectifier with the gate thereof connected to one of said contact points and the cathode thereof connected to the other of said contact points; and
an electrically activated alarm connected in series with the anode and the cathode of said rectifier, said first and second contacts and said voltage source.
2. The lock of claim 1 where said voltage source provides a DC voltage.
3. The lock of claim 1 where said voltage source provides an AC voltage.
1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to a lock for a door and more particularly to a lock having an alarm which is activated in response to an attempt to open the lock without a key.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A lock for a door is typically comprised of a tumbler assembly having a keyhole which is adapted to receive a key. Upon being received, the key may be rotated in a clockwise direction to cause an insertion of a latch tongue of the lock into a latch tongue housing thereof whereby the lock is closed and the door is locked. When the lock is closed, a spring maintains the tongue within the housing. Correspondingly, the key may be rotated in a counter clockwise direction to cause a removal of the latch tongue from the housing whereby the lock is opened and the door is unlocked. In the lock of the type described hereinbefore, a flexible piece of cardboard (about the size of a business card) may be forced into the housing against the tongue. The cardboard can then be used to push the tongue against the spring whereby the tongue is removed from the housing. It should be understood that because the cardboard may be used to remove the tongue from the housing, an intruder may easily open the lock.
Accordingly, there is a need for an alarm which is activated when the cardboard is used to push the tongue from the housing.
An object of the present invention is to provide a lock having an alarm which is activated in response to an attempt to open the lock without a key.
According to the present invention, a latch tongue of a lock inserted into a latch tongue housing thereof forms a connection between the gate and the cathode of a silicon controlled rectifier; the turning of a key in said lock causes an alarm to be connected in series with the anode and cathode of said rectifier and a voltage source; a removal of the latch tongue from the housing breaks said gate to cathode connection thereby causing an application of said source voltage to said alarm.
The invention provides a simple, economical and reliable alarm for a lock which is activated in response to an attempt to open the lock without a key.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent in the light of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof as illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
FIG. 1 is a section of a side elevation of a preferred embodiment of the present invention where portions are schematically shown; and
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a circuit in the embodiment of FIG. 1.
Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a lock is comprised of a latch tongue 10 having mounted thereon a pair of contact points 12, 14 which are electrically insulated from each other in any suitable manner. When the lock is open, the latch tongue 10 is maintained substantially within an enclosure 16 of the lock. Conversely, when the lock is closed, the latch tongue 10 is maintained substantially outside of the enclosure 16 and within a latch tongue housing 18. The lock is opened and closed by inserting a key into a keyhole of a tumbler assembly 20 connected to the latch tongue 10 and rotating the key.
The housing 18 is made from brass or any other suitable metal. When the latch tongue 10 is within the housing 18 an interior surface 22 thereof abuts the contacts 12, 14 thereby causing an electrical connection therebetween.
The contacts 12, 14 are connected to a silicon controlled rectifier 24 at the gate and cathode thereof, respectively, through signal lines 26, 28. As known to those skilled in the art, when the gate and the cathode of the rectifier 24 are at substantially the same electrical potential, current cannot flow from the anode to the cathode thereof. Accordingly, the electrical connection caused by the housing 18 prevents the flow of the current from the anode to the cathode.
The cathode is additionally connected to an alarm bell 30 at a first of two input terminals thereof through the line 28. The bell 30 has a second input terminal connected to a movable switch contact 32 through a signal line 34. The bell 30 is of a type which rings in response to a voltage being applied to its input terminals. Near the bell 30 are louvres 16L in the enclosure 16 through which the sound of the ringing is transmitted outside of the enclosure 16.
The contact 32 is mounted upon a rod 36 connected to the tumbler assembly 20. When a key in the tumbler assembly 20 causes an insertion of the latch tongue 10 into the housing 18, the rod 36 moves in a direction indicated by an arrow 38. The movement of the rod 36 causes an abutting relationship of contact 32 with a contact 40 maintained in a stationary position within the enclosure 16.
The contact 40 is connected to a negative terminal of a voltage source 42 through a signal line 44; a positive terminal of the source 42 is connected to the anode of the rectifier 24 through a signal line 46. Accordingly, when the contacts 32, 40 are in the abutting relationship, the bell 30, the anode and cathode of the rectifier 24 and the source 42 are all connected in series.
The gate and the anode are connected together through a resistor 48. When the tongue latch 10 is removed from the housing 18 while the contacts 32, 40 are in the abutting relationship, the connection of the gate and the anode through the resistor 48 causes the rectifier 24 to provide a low impedance between the anode and cathode whereby the voltage of the source 42 is substantially applied to the bell 30.
It should be understood that in an alternative embodiment, the source 42 may be an AC electrical power source.
Although the invention has been shown and described with respect to a preferred embodiment thereof, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and omissions in the form and detail thereof may be made therein without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention.
