Description
This invention relates to smoke detection, and more particularly to a passive photoelectric system for detection of smoke or other particles in a path.
Photoelectric smoke detectors are known for monitoring a path or area and providing an indication of the presence of smoke or other particles in the monitored area. The detectors are usually of the spot type or beam type. The spot type of detector employs a photoelectric or ionization sensor in a housing, and detects smoke presence in the housing. In the beam type or long path type of detector, a light beam is projected along a path, and a sensor is located at the far end of the path, or at the sending end of the path with a retroreflector placed at the far end of the path to reflect light back to the sending end.
The present invention provides a system for detection of smoke in an area or path being monitored by measuring changes in the contrast presented by a multicontrast target disposed remotely from a photoelectric sensor. The presence of smoke in the path causes obscuration of the path by attenuation and scattering, resulting in a reduction in contrast of the sensed target. A reduction in contrast of sufficient magnitude is utilized to trigger an alarm. In basic embodiment, the target has one or more relatively darker and one or more relatively lighter areas which are viewed by the sensor to provide a signal representing the relative contrast of the target areas. A change in the sensor signal of predetermined magnitude causes an alarm. The target can be illuminated by ambient light present in the monitored area, or can be actively illuminated by a light source. The sensor can be composed of a plurality of photosensors, each operative to view a respective area of the target. Alternatively, the sensor can be a single scanning sensor such as a video camera disposed for viewing the target.
With a video camera as the sensor, only a single line or segment of a line of the video frame pattern need be employed to monitor the multi-contrast target. As a result, the video camera can be employed on a shared basis for providing smoke monitoring and detection along with other functions, such as intrusion detection, access control, or visual surveillance of an area. As the sensing path becomes obscured, or the light along the sensing path is scattered by smoke particles, the signal derived from the white target area can diminish, while the signal derived from the black target area can increase. In some instances, both signals can increase in the presence of smoke, and this condition can occur, for example, where the target is actively illuminated by a light source and there is scattering of light by the smoke particles, the light being scattered back along the sensing path to the detectors. Under usual operating conditions, the signal derived from the white target area remains substantially constant on both the absence and presence of smoke, while the signal derived from the black target area increases in amplitude. The white signal can be employed as an automatic gain control (AGC) reference to provide a substantially constant threshold level to minimize variations which can be caused by changes in ambient light level.
It is contemplated that the invention is also useful for sensing particles other than smoke which provide similar attenuation and scattering to change the contrast of the target as viewed by the sensor.

Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a target 10 composed of a relatively white area 12 and a relatively black area 14 disposed at one end of a viewing path 16. Sensing apparatus 18 is disposed along path 16 remote from the target 10 and includes a lens or lens system 20 operative to focus the target areas 12 and 14 onto respective photocells 22 and 24. The photocells are connected to respective amplifiers 26 and 28, the outputs of which are coupled to respective inputs of a differential amplifier 30. The output of the differential amplifier 30 is applied to an alarm processor 32 which includes a threshold reference, the exceedence of which will cause an output alarm signal. In operation, the photocell 22 provides a relatively high magnitude output signal in response to the image from the white target area 12, and the photocell 24 provides a relatively low magnitude output signal in response to the image from the black target area 14. These photocell signals, after amplification by respective amplifiers 26 and 28, are applied to the differential inputs of the amplifier 30 which provides an output signal representative of the relative magnitude of the photocell signals. The output signal from amplifier 30 is also representative of the relative contast of the target 10 as viewed by the photocells 22 and 24. In the presence of smoke in path 16, which will cause attenuation and scattering of the light sensible by the photocells, the relative magnitude of the photocell signals will change. Either or both of the photocell signals can change depending on the particular smoke conditions. The output signal from amplifier 30 will change accordingly in response to a change in either or both of the photocell signals. A change in the output signal which exceeds the threshold level in alarm processor 32 causes triggering of an output alarm signal from the alarm processor 32, which can be employed, for example, to energize an audible or visual alarm indicator or to transmit an alarm signal to a central facility.
An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 2 in which automatic gain control is employed. The photocell 22 viewing the white target area 12 is connected to an AGC circuit 34 which provides an AGC reference signal to the reference inputs of respective amplifiers 26a and 28a. The photocells 22 and 24 also provide respective signals to the corresponding amplifiers 26a and 28a. The output of these amplifiers are connected to the respective inputs of differential amplifier 30. The output signal from amplifier 30 is coupled to the alarm processor 32, as in the above embodiment. The white target area 12 provides a reference level which is substantially constant over the expected range of ambient light variation. The photocell 22 provides a signal in response to light received from the white target area 12, and this signal serves as the AGC reference. The embodiment of FIG. 2 is otherwise the same as the embodiment of FIG. 1 described above, and is operative to provide an output signal which is representative of a change in the sensed contrast of the multicontrast target.
It will be appreciated that the terms "black" and "white" are relative, and that the target areas can be relatively lighter and darker to achieve the intended contrast.
A further embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 3 and employs a videocamera 40 which is disposed for viewing of a multi-contrast target such as described above. A video output signal is provided by camera 40 to a line selector circuit 42 which is operative to select a predetermined scan line of the video frame pattern and to provide an output signal to a line segment selector circuit 44 which is operative to select a portion of the scan line selected by circuit 42. The output of circuit 44 is applied to an alarm processor 46 which includes a reference threshold and which provides an alarm signal when the threshold has been exceeded by the processed signal from the camera. A scan line of the video frame pattern is selected which traverses or scans the target. The target is usually disposed with the contrast areas extending vertically, and the camera 40 provides a horizontal scan of the target. Thus, the line selector circuit 42 is employed to select a single scan line which will horizontally scan scross the target areas. Since the scan provided by the camera is often wider than the width of the target, only a segment of the selected scan line need be employed for target sensing. The segment of the scan line is as determined by the line segment selector circuit 44. The line selector 42 and line segment selector 44 are thus operative to select a portion of an overall video frame for viewing of the target and for providing an output signal representative of the relative contrast of the target areas.
A target is illustrated in FIG. 4 and is composed of vertically disposed white areas labelled "A", "C", and "E", and interposed black vertical areas labelled "B" and "D". The amplitude of the output signal provided by line segment selector 44 is depicted in FIG. 5 and is labelled correspondingly to the labelled areas of the target of FIG. 4. A relatively high amplitude level labelled "A", "C", and "E" is provided in response to the white target areas, while the relatively lower amplitude labelled "B" and "D" is provided by the black target areas. This signal representing the relative contrast of the target being viewed is applied to the alarm processor 46 which provides an alarm signal when the relative amplitude changes by a predetermined amount.
The line selector circuit 42 is illustrated in FIG. 6, and in the illustrated embodiment is operative to receive and process a standard RS 172 CCTV composite video signal. Each frame synchronization pulse, which is a 250 microsecond pulse which denotes the start and duration of each frame, is detected by an integrator composed of resistor R1 and capacitor C1 and is shaped by a comparator 50. The comparator 50 signal triggers a one-shot multivibrator 52, which produces a pulse of standard width and height. The line sync pulses are detected by an integrator composed of capacitor C2 and resistor R4, and are shaped by comparator 54. The pulses from multivibrator 52 and comparator 54 control the up/down counters 56a, 56b, and 56c, which function as a three-decade counter. An array of BCD switches 58a, 58b, and 58c are coupled to respective counters and are manually adjustable to preset the respective counters to a predetermined line number. The frame sync pulse causes presetting of the counters to the number determined by the setting of the BCD switches. The counter is decremented by each line sync pulse until a "0" count is reached, whereupon a gating signal is generated by the counter which is of a duration equal to the width of one scan line.
The counter output pulse appears at terminal B of FIG. 6 and is provided as an input signal to the line segment selector circuit of FIG. 7. The counter output pulse is applied to an input of a non-retriggerable one-shot multivibrator 60. The multivibrator 60 triggers on the leading edge of the input pulse, and the duration of its delay time is adjustable by various resistor R3. The multivibrator provides a normally low logic level as an output, and this logic level goes high for the duration of the delay time. The output of the multivibrator 60 is applied to an input of a second non-retriggerable multivibrator 62 which triggers on the negative edge of the input pulse. The delay time of the multivibrator 62 is adjusted by the variable resistor R4. The output pulse from multivibrator 62 is applied as one input to an AND gate 64 which also receives the counter output signal from terminal B. The AND gate 64 is operative to limit the output signal to one line. The signal from the AND gate is applied to an input of an analog gate 66 which also receives the video signal from terminal A. The analog gate is enabled for the duration of the gating signal provided via AND gate 64 and provides an output signal of the selected scan line and selected segment of that scan line. The diode D1 and resistor R5 serve as a load for the video signal and produce a black cursor signal on the video output signal to provide a visual indication on the monitor screen of the selected area of the video frame employed for viewing the multicontrast target for detection of smoke along the viewing path.
Only a small portion of the video frame is employed for smoke detection, and the other portions of the video frame are available for other functions such as intrusion detection, access control, or visual surveillance of an area. The video camera can provide a picture on a monitor screen which is substantially unaffected by the use of a scan line for smoke monitoring. The monitor screen can have cursor indication of the picture area in which smoke monitoring occurs, as noted above, or alternatively, no visual cursor need be shown on the monitor screen. The video camera can thus be employed for visual surveillance and similar purposes along with its function as the sensor for smoke monitoring and detection. Different areas of the video frame can also be employed for monitoring respective alarm conditions. Such an embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 8 in which a second signal processing channel is employed for intrusion detection.
Referring to FIG. 8, the video camera 40 is coupled to a smoke detection channel which includes line selector 42, line segment selector 44, and alarm processor 46, as described above. The video camera 40 is also connected to an intrusion detection channel composed of a line selector 42a, a line segment selector 44a, and an alarm processor 46a. The circuits 42a and 44a can be the same as the circuits 42 and 44 previously described, and are employed to select a different line of the video frame for intrusion detection than the selected line employed for smoke detection. The intrusion alarm processor 46a includes alarm threshold and detection circuitry for providing an intrusion alarm signal received by the processing channel which meets the intended detection criteria. Thus, different alarm channels and alarm processors can be provided for the respective smoke and other alarm conditions being monitored, and for which the single video camera is employed as a sensor.
The video camera usually contains an automatic gain control circuit to provide a substantially uniform output for variations in ambient light level. The change in contrast of the multicontrast target is sufficient to provide a detectable change in the video signal for smoke detection purposes. The system is also operative with infrared as well as visual radiation. The video camera is often sensitive into the infrared spectrum, or specific infrared sensitive detectors can be employed, either of the scanning or discrete type.

PRO BASKETBALL - Jordan Scores 56 Points, Finishing Sweep of Heat - NYTimes.com
PRO BASKETBALL; Jordan Scores 56 Points, Finishing Sweep of Heat
Bulls 119, Heat 114
MIAMI, April 29 (AP) -- The Miami Heat took an 18-point lead. Then Michael Jordan took over.
Jordan scored no points in the first 10 minutes and then scored 56 after that tonight to help the Chicago Bulls beat the Heat, 119-114, and complete a sweep of their first-round playoff series.
Jordan's point total tied the third highest in playoff history. He holds the record of 63, set in a double overtime game against Boston in 1986. Jordan scored 55 points in a regulation playoff game against Cleveland in 1988.
The defending National Basketball Assocation champions advanced to a second-round matchup against the winner of the Knicks-Detroit Pistons series. The Knicks lead, 2-1, going into Game 4 Friday night at Detroit.
Miami, outscored by 49 points in the first two games, roared to a 33-15 lead in the first playoff game ever held in Florida. The Bulls pulled even in the second quarter but could never pull away.
Jordan, who averaged 45 points per game in the series, put Chicago ahead to stay by hitting a fallaway jumper for a 98-96 lead with 5 minutes 30 seconds left. He added 12 more points down the stretch, including two clinching free throws with 9.5 seconds left for the game's final points.
Scottie Pippen added 31 points for the Bulls.
Glen Rice scored 25 for Miami. Rony Seikaly added 22 points and 12 rebounds.
The series sweep was the third for the Bulls in the last two seasons. They have won 18 of their last 20 playoffs games.
Miami, making its first playoff appearance, fell to 0-17 against Chicago. But the Heat made the Bulls look like an expansion team in the first 11 minutes, scoring on eight consecutive possessions (18 points total) to take a 33-15 lead.
Jordan, held scoreless for the first 10:12, rang up 17 points in the second quarter. He hit a jumper to give Chicago its first lead, 44-43, but the Heat regrouped and led, 56-51, at halftime.
The noisy sellout crowd of 15,008, armed with clackers passed out before the game, sounded the like world's largest infestation of crickets.
Jordan was even hotter in the third period, when he scored 19 points, including baskets on the Bulls' first four possessions. But the Heat led by 80-79 going into the final quarter. Suns 101, Spurs 92
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Jeff Hornacek and Kevin Johnson each scored 22 points, including 11 apiece in the fourth quarter, as Phoenix defeated San Antonio to sweep their first-round playoffs series.
The Suns meet the winner of the Portland-Los Angeles Lakers series. Portland, which leads the series, 2-0, tried to clinch it Wednesday night at Los Angeles.

The band reunited at Sonic Ranch Studios while they recorded their third studio effort, The Last Kind Words, which was released in June 2007. The album's first single "Not All Who Wander Are Lost" was directed by Nathan Cox for free. Cox's career began when he created Coal Chamber's music video "Loco", so he re-paid a favor to Fafara and the band. Cox now directs music videos for bands such as Linkin Park and Korn.[14] The first song to be previewed was "Horn of Betrayal" which debuted on Sirius Satellite's Hard Attack channel on May 16, 2007. The Last Kind Words entered the German charts at number 92,[15] and peaked at number 48 on the Billboard 200, with over 14,000 copies sold.

- Football Scientist: Jets-friendly fantasy football picks
Football Scientist: Jets-friendly fantasy football picks
One of the most difficult things for a fantasy football owner to face during the season is the possibility of having to start someone from one of his real-life favorite team's rivals. Nothing is more distasteful for a Jets fan than starting a player from the Patriots, Dolphins or Bills, and starting someone from any of their potential AFC playoff foes isn't a lot better.
It is with that in mind that the Jets-friendly fantasy football picks segment is being started. This series is aimed at pointing out a few start options that might be available to Jets owners to use in place of players from any of the aforementioned clubs. It will also aim, whenever possible, at those fantasy picks who are available in a significant percentage of ESPN leagues -- the idea being that starting a high-quality waiver-wire pickup is preferable to going with someone you deep down actually want to see fail.
This week there are five suggestions:
Devery Henderson, WR, New Orleans (available in 70.2% of ESPN leagues)
Robert Meachem, WR, New Orleans (available in 46.3% of ESPN leagues)
Lance Moore, WR, New Orleans (available in 28.6% of ESPN leagues)
These Saints receivers are due to face a Bengals secondary that has backups all over the place. The Jets let this defense off the hook last week by not going after them but Sean Payton and Drew Brees will not repeat that performance. New Orleans could post 40 or more points against Cincinnati and any wideout on their roster will reap the fantasy rewards commensurate with that kind of offensive explosion.
Sam Bradford, QB, St. Louis Rams (available in 66.0% of ESPN leagues)
He was the No. 1 pick in the entire draft but you wouldn't know it by how he has flown under the fantasy radar this year despite leading his team to a first-place tie in the NFC West. In each of the past four weeks, Bradford has posted at least 15 fantasy points and he has thrown only one interception in his last six games. The Arizona defense he will be facing has looked positively disinterested of late as well, so that bodes in his favor. He's a terrific pickup for two-QB leagues not only for this week, but also for the fantasy playoffs.
Kevin Boss (available in 56.2% of ESPN leagues)
Quoting from this week's ESPN.com Insider Pass Plays article (which comes out every Tuesday and details the best waiver-wire passing game pickups): "One of the ways the Giants are dealing with the injuries to Hakeem Nicks and Steve Smith is by flexing Boss out as a wide receiver. He was thrown five passes against the Jaguars when he lined up in that manner and caught two of them for 57 yards and a touchdown. That kind of productivity will ensure that Eli Manning continues to target him, as long as Nicks and Smith remain out of the lineup."
I know it means pulling for a Giants player, but given the dearth of fantasy points to be found at the tight end position this year, it's worth putting up with.

Hi, my name is Mike Shaw. For the past four decades my profession has been that of an insurance broker specializing in providing medical insurance for small and mid-sized companies here in Southern California. However, for the past decade as I approach retirement, I have been searching for an occupation I can actually be passionate about. To fulfill my goal and find a new passion I became an Author. The book you have hopefully decided to purchase is my second book and an attempt at becoming a successful Author. I am currently working on the completion of five separate books on self-help, inspiration and self motivation. If you would like to purchase your own copy of this or any of my books, they are available at your local book store help desk. If you prefer you can purchase your copy direct from me at www.mike-shaw.com, or you can go online at www.Amazon.com, www. Xlibris.com, or www.BarnesAndNoble.com.

The vast majority of the biggest crowd ever hosted at this arena, albeit an attendance beaten by a solitary person, revelled in a victory that, even in the chill of mid-autumn, feels significant. A five-point advantage has been chiselled from the pack at the top of the division. These are heady days again along this stretch of the south coast.
This was a tense and narrow success squeezed against awkward opponents. West Ham, who had started the evening on their opponents' shoulders, ended up surrendering an unbeaten away record even with Julien Faubert's cross drifting on to a post in the frantic final moments of a furious second period. Those late chances had Sam Allardyce bellowing in frustration on the touchline, dismayed that his forwards' form was so unrecognisable from that which had put Blackpool to the sword on Saturday, though there is no disgrace in shedding points at St Mary's these days.
This was already Southampton's best start to a season in 52 years, but they have now registered 17 consecutive wins in all competitions on home territory, a sequence that stretches back to Manchester United's success here in the FA Cup in January. Maintain that form and the Premier League champions could be visiting in the top-flight next term. "There's a belief here that the club's moving in the right direction," said Nigel Adkins. "There's a lot of positivity down here at Southampton. We want to get back to the Premier League. I wanted us to be in contention still in January so we could push on to win it, but we're top at the moment on merit. We have a winning mentality."
Their conviction continues to swell. It had taken a goal in first-half stoppage time, as West Ham's concentration wavered, to prise this contest apart. Jos Hooiveld's header from Daniel Fox's corner was thumped beyond Manuel Almunia, and Faubert on the line, and all the visitors' initial industry was instantly undermined. The nearest Southampton had come up to then, for all their neat approach play, was a shot on the turn by David Connolly, blocked desperately by Abdoulaye Faye. The reward actually came from the subsequent corner and allowed the home side to bite on the break thereafter. They are comfortable when confronted by desperate opponents.
Even so, West Ham were much improved after the interval, mixing their physical approach with trickery and invention of their own. Their revival might have forced parity had either Sam Baldock, twice, or Kevin Nolan conjured more accurate finishes from clear sights at goal, but Kelvin Davis saved smartly when required and survived a late bout of butter fingers in stoppage time to preserve his clean sheet. The goalkeeper probably deserved that good fortune, even as Allardyce grumbled it felt fated not to be the visitors' evening. "On the balance of play, we should still be two points behind them," he offered. "To find ourselves five points adrift of them is, well, disappointing."
The manager's principal gripes were with his forwards' profligacy, though there was regret to be had, too, in the sloppiness of his team's concession. A side the size of West Ham's should not be shipping free headers from corners. Allardyce conceded it was "one of the softest goals you could imagine given we're one of the biggest sides in the league". Southampton are more used to piercing in open play, so to register from a set-piece offered its own encouragement. Connolly, once a West Ham player, might have added to their lead, but the victory was still one to be relished.
Birmingham City and Nottingham Forest, who had both been expected to challenge for promotion, had already been dismissed from this arena. "But this was probably our biggest test yet," added Adkins. "Now we're 12 games in, the quarter-mark of the season's gone, and we're top of the league. I'm not surprised. We have good players, good staff and people pulling the same direction." This club feels unstoppable at present. There will be trickier times ahead but, for now, the Saints can bask at the summit. They are a team on the ascendancy.

Food to the Thais is a consuming passion: they constantly eat and snack except when they're actually asleep. Throughout the day, a succession of corner food carts replaces one another, each vendor stirring up a different tasty morsel, depending on the time of day. The range of Thai cuisine is vast; no restaurant worth its salt has fewer than a hundred dishes on its menu. There are regional differences and specialties and, of course, seasonal delights. Thais know that eating out can be cheaper than eating in, and inexpensive restaurants often serve food as good as, and sometimes better than, the fare at fancy places. The best roast duck in Bangkok, for instance, comes from a tiny hole-in-the-wall and costs $1.10, rice included. And though some Thai food is as hot as the fires of hell, an equal number of dishes are mild -- and the hot ones can be tempered. Thai food can easily become your passion, too, if not second to none at least second to one.
In no other country has the visitor such a range of accommodation. On one of the finest beaches in the world, a few dollars can get you a bed cocooned in a mosquito net, in a wood hut under a thatched roof. On another beach of equal perfection you can dwell in such luxury and beauty that five-star hotels on the French Riviera pale in comparison. Though you could become jaded, taking such luxury for granted, you'll not forget the smiling attentive service. In the "smaller" provincial capitals, a clean air-conditioned room with private bath should be your expectation. If you spend only $15--$20, you'll get a smaller room with flaking plaster, gurgling plumbing, and instead of air-conditioning a rhythmically wobbling fan.
Every visit to Thailand should include a massage or two -- and they come in many different varieties. Aside from those which promise lots of bubbles, soap, and full body contact, they range from gentle kneading of the muscles to joint-breaking pulls. The most famous place for a massage is Bangkok's Wat Po; you'll get the most expensive one at Bangkok's Oriental Hotel, the most gentle and soothing at Bangkok's Regent hotel. Those offered at the beach resorts tend to be a cross between soothing and traditional. The traditional massage aims to release blocked channels of energy and uses methods similar to Shiatsu and reflexology. Joint pains and headaches can be eased, but it's also invigorating.
You can get hooked on shopping in Thailand -- everything is for sale and there are so many places to look. Bangkok has fancy shopping centers and department stores, antiques and crafts shops, markets and street vendors. There are watches with recently affixed "Rolex" or "Cartier" trademarks and T-shirts with a crocodile slightly askew. Negotiated prices are irresistibly low. In many large cities and resorts, visiting the Night Market is part of an evening's entertainment. Except for imported electronics and luxury goods, Thailand's prices, though not duty-free, are considerably lower than Singapore's or Hong Kong's.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Match Group, Inc. (NasdaqGS :MTCH ).
On August 14, 2018, founders and current and former employees of Tinder filed a lawsuit against Tinder's parent companies, IAC/InterActiveCorp ("IAC") and its subsidiary Match Group, Inc. ("Match") alleging that they created false financial information, delayed new products and used other tactics to deliberately undervalue Tinder in order to prevent select Tinder shareholders from exercising their rights to cash in stock options worth billions of dollars. As a result, Match and IAC may have significantly understated Match's liability for compensating Tinder's shareholders.
Further, the complaint charges that IAC and Match executives covered up allegations that Greg Blatt, Match's Chairman and CEO (who had recently been placed as Tinder's "interim" CEO) groped and sexually harassed another Tinder executive in December 2016, in order to allow Blatt to remain at the helm of Tinder to facilitate the scheme, leaving several months later with a lucrative golden parachute reportedly worth millions of dollars.
KSF's investigation is focusing on whether Match's officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to Match's shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
