October 7, 2019
Hi All……… I just returned from Nevada's Fall Conference meeting in Las Vegas and I took lots of notes I want to share with you. First I will commend Judy Stebbins, President, Nevada Garden Clubs, Inc. for her expert and gracious presiding at Nevada's meeting. Judy mentioned something positive after every club report – that she enjoyed attending this one's meeting, or that she had learned something or other at that one's meeting. Did you know that Clark County (Las Vegas) is number one in the U.S. in school gardens? What are they doing right? Anything your state, district or club might be interested in? Visit Green Our Planet's website.
Each club brought a display and so they had a great visual tool when they reported. This was the first time this had been tried in Nevada and it was wonderfully successful. At the break after the club reports, nearly everyone was looking at the displays more carefully. Great idea!
Nevada has created a professional looking publicity flyer – they list every club in the state with a contact number and when and where the club meets. I realize every state can't do that but you could have district flyers. One clever membership idea came up with the mention of Lee Pearns (former Nevada state president and region director). She would pay the membership dues for a caregiver or driver or daughter/son who drove a member to garden club and say "there, now YOU are a member." In the telling of the story, it was said that then the caregiver/driver/daughter/son felt guilty and so would start to attend and then often became an interested member. At one event open to the public, one club would give a small plant to visitors to their booth in exchange for their email address. And one more idea – reuse pill bottles by securely attaching a flat rock (larger than the pill bottle cap) to the bottle top; put a set of spare keys in the bottle and bury the bottle near the door – the rock camouflages its true purpose (or should I say RE-purpose?).
Just before Nevada's meeting, Greg and I were at California Garden Clubs, Inc.'s Fall Board Meeting in Redding, California. California has a lot of chairmen – a third of them were asked to present a display (much like Nevada's club displays), while the other two-thirds orally reported. The room was filled to capacity with interesting information and education.
Is anyone going on the post-convention tour with Greg and me? I guess we don't have to rent a bus since it may only be the two of us. If you are going, you could help me sleep better by sending in your tour deposit (to Becky Hassebroek).
I'm still waiting for some more installations for the installation booklet – and any last minute recipes for the Region cookbook. Don't forget that Becky Cook (email@example.com) would still be happy to receive inspirations, benedictions, poems, and memorials for the booklet she's got under construction.
And the Photo Phundraiser – hope you are rustling up the pictures you've taken and are planning to enter several. Are you talking to your club members about entering? Remember the club with the most entries (not necessarily winners) is going to receive $100!!!!!
Pacific Region Garden Clubs is firing up this autumn – I hope it helps you "Reconnect to YOUR Pacific Region!"

Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 40th Anniversary Speakers; Tamo Ash Pair; Full Warranty
Product: Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 40th Anniversary Speakers; Tamo Ash Pair; Full Warranty
Product SKU: 22883
Serial Number: C7ES-3 40TH X275, C7ES-3 40TH X274
Cosmetic Description: 9/10 Excellent condition with no notable blemishes.
What is Included: Pair of speakers, Manual, Factory packaging
Functional Notes: Operational condition of this item is excellent, fully tested and no issues found.
Age: 2 years (released in 2017)
# of Owners: 1
Tobacco Exposure: No
Service History: None
Other Notes: This pair of Compact 7ES-3 40th Anniversary Speakers has very low hours and comes with the full factory warranty.
"In the end, the Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 acquitted themselves with such nimbleness, musicality, excellent 3D sound-staging, honest translating abilities, and timbral accuracy that there was no way I couldn't award them an Editor's Choice Award. Regardless of what type of music I forced upon them, or how loud I made them go (or conversely how quietly I played them – they were excellent low-level playback monitors), they accepted their fate, and rose to the occasion with a humble mastery of recorded sound that always left me satisfied, and never wanting for more. Yes, I've heard speakers that go deeper, that have more air, and space in the highest octaves, and that can do a better job of fooling my brain into thinking that the musicians are in the room thanks to spatial cues, and lifelike 3D sound-staging, but not at this price point, or in a package this, well, err… compact." - Rafe Arnott - Part-Time Audiophile

John Morton, head of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), wants netheads to know something about his agency: they are "not the police of the Internet."
So what's the story with our headline? Morton made his comment about not policing the 'Net at the end of speech this week in which he talked about nothing except policing the 'Net.
His agency may not be the police of the Internet, but it's certainly one of them, with its investigations "increasingly directed toward Web-based criminals." And Morton says that's a good thing.

When Ananda Landscapes designs your perfect backyard escape, we work with you to help you choose your new patio furniture. Home and garden furniture is designed to last for ages, so it's important to find the furniture that really embodies your style and personality.
When deciding on colours for your patio furniture, think about the colours that will add contrast to your outdoor space. For example, earthy red and brown tones will add great contrast to a backyard filled with lush green grass, while bright colours will pop against a dark deck or stone patio. Also think about how you will be using the space. If you will mostly be entertaining outside, dark colours will hide wear and tear. If you intend to use your outdoor space as your private sanctuary, soothing blue furniture with glass tables will evoke serenity.
It's important to choose furniture materials that won't rust and weather over time. Fortunately, most modern patio furniture meets these specifications. Once you decide on your large pieces of furniture, you can think about accessories. Although accessories are usually associated with interior home decor, you can find unique lanterns, clocks and other accessories that compliment your outdoor design aesthetic!

Chinese ambassador to Zambia Mr. Li Jie has said that all efforts are being made to prevent, control and contain the outbreak of Coronavirus which has so far claimed 361 lives across the globe.
Some of the preventive measures that have been put in place are to have Chinese nationals in Zambia who traveled for holidays in China to quarantine themselves for two weeks amidst continued screening when they arrive back in Zambia, Mr. Jie told journalists at a press briefing this afternoon.
Other preventive measures he mentioned were intensified screening at all points of entry to prevent and reduce possible transmission of the Coronavirus.
As he also announced that Visa applications to China have decreased, the ambassador further advised Zambians planning to travel to China to adjust their travel plans in the wake of the epidemic.
"Please let me emphasize that for Zambian and other foreign nationals in China, the Chinese government will fulfill its international obligations, settle their reasonable concerns in a timely manner and ensure their safety with a reasonable attitude.
He assured that China has the full confidence, capability, and resources to win the battle against the virus with concerted efforts, scientific containment, and targeted policies under its strong leadership.
In regards to Chinese nationals living in Zambia, Mr. Jie said continued efforts are being made to remind the local Chinese nationals, communities, institutions, and enterprises to pay close attention to the development of the epidemic and carefully monitor their health conditions and take all necessary precautionary measures.
"The embassy has established an effective mechanism of communication with the Zambian authorities including health foreign affairs and immigration. We understand and support proper and necessary measures taken by government concerning the epidemic" he said.
Ambassador Jie assured that China is ready to work with Zambia as well as the international community to safeguard regional and global public health security.
As of today, a total of 17,335 people have been infected with Coronavirus, of which 152 are foreign nationals with 361 recorded deaths.

Healing Garden at Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital Dedicated
Lake Forest Hospital May 17, 2006
Nearly 100 guests joined Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital (LFH) officials for a June 22 ceremony officially dedicating the Hugh Falls Healing Garden.
LAKE FOREST, IL – Many of those present were donors whose role in making such projects possible was praised by Board of Directors Chairman Thomas Swarthout. "We have the finest community hospital anywhere due to your generosity," he said. More than $250,000 was raised from the community to cover the cost and no hospital funds were used to create the garden, which already has been put to good use by patients, their families, visitors and employees since opening last fall.
Sponsored in part by the Lake Forest Junior Garden Club and Mariani Landscape/Design, this special area is named for Dr. Hugh Falls, a well-loved OB/GYN who's been in practice at Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital for more than 40 years. Former LFH President/CEO William G. Ries said, "This is a permanent symbol of the healing spirit demonstrated by this strong medical statesman. Thank you, Dr. Falls, for the difference you've made in this hospital, this community and our lives."
In humbly accepting this honor, Falls said he was intrigued about the project from the start. . "As I learned more about healing gardens I realized the important role of such tranquil settings in places where people are healing.
This project exemplifies the collaborative efforts of employees, medical staff members, volunteers and the community that have given Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital the reputation it enjoys," he said.
President/CEO Thomas J. McAfee says the healing garden adds to the wonderful environment of the Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital campus. "It's an example of the importance we place on caring for the health and well-being of our patients in new and innovative ways," he said.
Located near the hospital's labyrinth, Hunter Family Center for Women's Health and Westmoreland Nursing Center, the garden is designed to help heal the mind, body and spirit by providing a quiet, serene, natural setting for contemplation and fresh air. It's open to the general public.
The project's second phase was completed this spring. Planners envision future enhancements such as a library of children's books for reading in the garden. With the restorative power of gardens being documented as early as the 12 th century and Lake Forest's rich botanical history, a healing garden on the hospital's campus was seen as a perfect fit by its planners.

This will help to support country's economic development and sustain its democracy. ESP is working closely with the Government of Ukraine (GOU) to develop competitive energy markets.

Let's do a scoop into the poo! Yes, we know it may sound rather gross, and not everyone is comfortable talking about their stools or anything that have to do with their bowels. However, it has been said that one's bowel movement may actually be signs or indicators of your digestive health. From the colour of your stools, its 'unique' shape and textures, all these 'hints' can, in fact, reveal certain signs of bodily infections, digestive issues and even severe health problems such as colon cancer.
Hence, you would be wondering and asking 'what is a normal healthy poop, anyways'? Let's share with you what we found out about stinky stools.
The Ideal 'Normal' Poop
According to Piedmont Healthcare, a healthy stool should be soft, smooth in the surface and typically in brownish colour. The normal faecal contains an average of 75 per cent water and 25 per cent solid matter which also consists of dead bacteria, ingestible food, as well as inorganic substances.
Sure, what may seem normal to one person may differ from the other as every individual's diet varies. This would further result in the overall difference in frequency, texture, and smell of the bowel.
Withal, let's take a look at the Bristol Stool Chart to learn more about your bowel movement. The Bristol Stool Chart classify the stools into seven different categories or types. Types 1 and 2 indicate constipation, 3 and 4 are the 'most ideal' poops, and 5, 6, and 7 suggest diarrhoea.

Type 1 & 2: Signs of Constipation
Types 1 and 2 are hard and lumpy and painful to pass. These stools have been sitting in the large intestine and colon for a long time and are indicative of someone who may be constipated.
According to Piedmont Healthcare, other than the lack of fiber, constipation can also be caused by medication, stress and medical illnesses.
Type 3 & 4: Signs of Healthy Digestion
Types 3 and 4 are considered the optimal form of healthy stool. A healthy stool is typically sausage-shaped and snake-like. It is easy to pass, and it remains intact when it is flushed.
Type 5, 6 & 7: Diarrhoea
Stool types 5 through 7 are watery and mushy. These stools are in the large intestine and colon for the least amount of time and may present in the form of diarrhoea.
Diarrhoeas are usually caused by an intolerance to a specific dietary change, stress, medical illness and infections.
Colour Of Your Poo
Image Credits to Findatopdoc.com
We discovered that the overall colour of your poo can also be a reflection of your health.
Colour – Brown
Poop is naturally brown, and shades may vary, so this is entirely normal.
Colour – Green
Green poop can happen because of the changes in your diet. It commonly occurs when you consumed a large amount of dark leafy greens such as kale, or food with green food colouring.
However, a green colour stool can also be due to an internal bacterial infection which you are suffering from.
Colour – Black
If you happen to see your stools in the colour of black, you might want to pay more attention to your digestive health. Black stools can be caused by excess iron or a severe health issue such as bleeding caused by stomach ulcers.
Colour – Yellow
Did you know that yellow poo can be an indicator of a liver condition, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis? Moreover, yellow stools can be caused by the absence of bile.
Colour – Red
Usually, if your poo appears to be reddish in colour, it might be due to blood or red food dyes. However, if you have experienced red stools and haven't eaten anything that contains red dye. You might be suffering from haemorrhoids, colon polyps and internal bleeding.
Colour – White
According to SELF, ingesting medicines like Kaopectate (used to treat diarrhoea, nausea, heartburn, indigestion, and upset stomach) can cause your stools to be pale or clay-coloured. If you have a white coloured stool, you likely to be suffering a bile duct blockage due to a stone or even something as serious as a tumour. With your bile unable to reach the intestine, this causes your stool to turn white.
Hence, a white coloured stool is a strong indication of severe health problems. It is advisable for you to consult a doctor immediately.
At Fitlion, we would encourage every individual to maintain good bowel health, as 70 per cent of the body's immune system is contained within the digestive tract. Therefore, it is important to have a high-fiber diet to improve bowel movement in the digestive tracts. Moreover, regular exercises can also aid in reducing the time which the food moves through the large intestines.
You may also want to look into another alternative way of maintaining a healthy digestive system by adding good digestive enzymes into your body.

1 Comparison Results of Two-point Fuzzy Boundary Value Problems
Authors: Hsuan-Ku Liu
This paper investigates the solutions of two-point fuzzy boundary value problems as the form x = f(t, x(t)), x(0) = A and x(l) = B, where A and B are fuzzy numbers. There are four different solutions for the problems when the lateral type of H-derivative is employed to solve the problems. As f(t, x) is a monotone function of x, these four solutions are reduced to two different solutions. As f(t, x(t)) = λx(t) or f(t, x(t)) = -λx(t), solutions and several comparison results are presented to indicate advantages of each solution.

Protecting America's Public Lands
Roughly 300 million acres of American lands, most in the West, are set aside as public lands and maintained using taxes paid by all Americans. These lands managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, and National Wildlife Refuge System are by charter supposed to be managed for multiple uses including recreation and provision of wildlife habitat and clean water sources. Increasingly, however, they are run for the benefit of extractive industries and with little regard for the preservation of the rare wildlife or iconic natural beauty for which they are famous.
With the help of conscientious range management specialists, scientists, law enforcement officers and other workers within these agencies, PEER is uncovering how our precious national heritage is being sold to the highest bidder, often under the direction of poorly qualified and illegally appointed political appointees.

I could suggest a couple things. Your doc was probably right about the ingrown hair however, the location could pose a problem for healing. As sweat and so forth clog pores and won't allow for healing, could you find a way to cover the area during the day when you are most active and uncover it at night to allow it air? Swabbing the area with iodine before applying a bandage will aid in drying it out. Washing the area fequently with a hibitane soap (most drug stores) will disinfect and also dry it out. Polysporin cream also has a form of antibiotic and cleans. Or you may wish to visit your local emergency department where they are likely able to give you a prescription cream to assisit in healing and counter infection. Hope this helps.
Good luck to you.
This sounds a lot like MRSA. I've had MRSA a few times, including under the armpit. It is VERY painful. It is very contagious, once you get it for the first time, you have it for life. The bacteria lives in your nose. I've gotten MRSA a few times in the same spot in my armpit before too. It's always hard underneath. Next time you get something like that, show your doctor. He will probably put you on antibiotics and tell you to use a heating pad. If its really bad, it will need to get lanced, i've had to have that done a few times. MRSA is very dangerous though, it can be deadly, don't just assume it is an ingrown hair all the time, please see a doctor!

|Ratke et al.
|Electromagnetic interlock
|In-line solenoid transmission interlock device

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates in general to an electrically-operated latch, and particularly to an electrically-operated latch for controlling the motion of a linearly movable shaft. The invention is especially adapted for use in automotive brake/transmission safety interlock systems.
2. Description of Prior Developments
U.S. Pat. No. 4,887,702 discloses a brake/transmission safety interlock system for use in automotive vehicles. A manual shift mechanism is connected to a key-operated ignition lock mechanism via a flexible cable. The cable runs through a solenoid that is electrically connected to the vehicle brake system.
A latch device is carried by the cable within the solenoid so that when the solenoid is in a de-energized state the cable is free to move within limits so as to permit manual motion of the shift mechanism out of the "park" position. When the solenoid is in an energized state the cable is prevented from movement in tile direction permitting manual operation of the shift mechanism out of the park position.
The solenoid is electrically connected with the vehicle brake system so that the solenoid is electrically energized only when the brake is actuated, i.e. when the brake pedal is depressed. The solenoid-operated latch therefore serves as an interlock between the brake system and the shift mechanism, such that the manual shifter can be moved out of the park position only when the vehicle is in a braked condition. This promotes vehicle safety.
The solenoid-operated latch disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,887,702 includes a sleeve crimped or otherwise secured to the cable within the solenoid. The sleeve acts as an armature for the solenoid. A tubular pole piece is mounted within the solenoid so that when the solenoid windings are electrically energized the armature sleeve is magnetically drawn toward the tubular pole piece. The magnetic attractive force acts as the latching force to prevent linear motion of the cable in the direction that frees the shifter for movement out of the park position.
When the solenoid windings are de-energized, the armature sleeve is free to move away from the tubular pole piece. The latch device is then in the unlatched condition wherein the cable can be moved to permit manual motion of the shifter out of the park position.
The magnetic latching force is a nonmechanical force that operates axially on the annular end surface of the armature sleeve. The sleeve cross section has to be relatively large to carry the required magnetic flux without exceeding the magnetic saturation limit. The coil has to have a relatively large number of windings, since the latching force is a direct function of the magnetic force.
Another potential drawback with the solenoid-operated latch of U.S. Pat. No. 4,887,702 is that the armature cannot be axially separated from the pole piece by too great a distance, otherwise the magnetic force will be insufficient to attract the armature to the pole piece. Also, the armature sleeve has to be positioned on the cable with some precision, otherwise the armature will not be correctly located in a magnetic sense.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,176,231 discloses an electromagnetic interlock that includes a rod-type shaft having a notch in its side surface. A solenoid is positioned transversely to the shaft so that a linear axial motion of the shaft causes the notch in the shaft to pass through the solenoid axis. The solenoid has a plunger extending from an armature along with solenoid axis in intersecting relation to the shaft axis.
When the solenoid is energized electrically, the plunger is moved into the notch to latch the shaft against linear motion. When the solenoid is de-energized, a coil spring in the solenoid moves the plunger out of the notch thereby freeing the shaft for linear motion.
Movement of the solenoid armature into a bridging position closing the magnetic gap produces a metallic clicking noise that can be disconcerting to some vehicle owners. It would be desirable to have a noise-free, solenoid-operated latch. Moreover, the solenoid has to be precisely located with respect to the notch in the linearly movable shaft. Relatively slight variances in the plunger-notch orientation which occur in normal vehicle production can interfere with proper operation of the latch assembly.
The present invention is directed to an electrically-operated latch for a movable shaft, wherein a relatively small solenoid can be used for latch-actuation purposes. The latch structure is designed so that there is no physical contact between the latch element and the solenoid pole piece whereby latch operation is essentially noiseless.
The latch structure includes a latch plate extending generally normal to the linearly-movable shaft so that the shaft can move freely through a clearance hole in the latch plate when the solenoid is in the de-energized state. Electrical actuation of the solenoid causes the latch plate to swing or pivot around an axis transverse to the shaft axis. The swinging motion causes selected edge areas bordering the clearance hole to move into engagement with the shaft surface, thereby locking the shaft against linear axial motion. When the solenoid is de-energized, a spring within the solenoid returns the latch plate to its initial position wherein the hole in the plate has clearance with respect to the shaft.
The solenoid-operated latch has an advantageous operational mode in that the solenoid armature has a relatively small operating stroke, whereby a relatively small size solenoid can be used. Also, the mechanism is designed so that the armature need never be in direct physical contact with the associated pole piece. The latch operation is essentially noiseless and provides a significant mechanical advantage via its long lever arm.
It should be noted that the latch plate can come into engagement with the linearly movable shaft at any point along the shaft surface. Latch operation is not dependent on the shaft reaching or attaining a particular location. Therefore the solenoid can be located at various points along the travel path of the shaft without compromising latch operability. A precision location of the solenoid-operated latch is not required. This facilitates assembly of an interlock system.
Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the accompanying drawings and drawing description.

Referring to FIGS. 1 through 3, there is shown a solenoid-operated latch for retaining a linearly movable shaft 12 in selected positions of adjustment. In FIG. 1, the linear motion of the shaft is designated by arrows 14. The shaft moves axially in the direction of the shaft axis.
The solenoid-operated latch includes an electrical winding 17 for generating a magnetic field in a magnetic circuit that includes shaft 12, L-shaped armature 28 and planar pole piece 22. When the winding is energized, the magnetic gap 45 is partially closed by movement of armature arm structure 32 toward pole piece 22 such that latch plate 30 pivots a limited amount around swing axis 34 to cause the edge of hole 33 to grip the surface of shaft 12.
Frictional engagement of the latch hole boundary or edge surface against the shaft surface locks the shaft against motion in the direction of arrow 14. When winding 17 is de-energized, the L-shaped armature 28 is returned to the FIG. 1 position by the biasing action of coil spring 20. The shaft is then free to move in the direction of arrow 14.
Referring to FIG. 14, the solenoid for actuating the latch includes a bobbin 16 having electrical winding 17 wound thereon. After the insulated wire has been wound on the bobbin, the formed coil is encapsulated with a plastic sheath or can structure 18. The plastic sheath is configured to form a cylindrical pocket for containing a coil spring 20, and a mounting hole 21 for the solenoid. The plastic sheath serves to anchor a ferromagnetic pole piece 22 at the left end of bobbin 16. Electrical terminals for windings 17 are located in a boss 23 projecting from the side surface of sheath 18.
As shown in FIG. 1, pole piece 22 includes a flat planar element extending transverse to the solenoid axis. The planar element has a clearance hole 26 slightly larger than the diameter of shaft 12, such that the shaft can move back and forth without interference from the pole piece. However, the edge of clearance hole 26 is in close proximity to the shaft 12 surface, such that magnetic flux can flow between the pole piece and shaft without appreciable magnetic losses. Shaft 12 is formed, at least partly, out of ferromagnetic material whereby the shaft forms part of the magnetic circuit generated by current flow through windings 17.
Planar element 26 includes a wall structure completely encircling shaft 12 via clearance hole 26. However, it is not essential that the pole piece have a complete magnetic connection around the entire shaft surface. The pole piece could have a semi-circular end edge partially encircling the shaft without materially inhibiting the magnetic flux.
The armature for the solenoid includes a single strip of ferromagnetic material 28 bent into an L configuration. The L-shaped strip forms a latch plate 30 extending generally normal to the shaft axis and an elongated arm structure 32 extending along the solenoid side surface to a point adjacent or beyond the pole piece 22.
Latch plate 30 has a circular hole 33 therein having a diameter only marginally greater than the diameter of shaft 12. When the latch plate 30 is positioned normal to the shaft, as shown in FIG. 1, the shaft can move freely through the circular hole 33. The latch plate is mounted for swingable or pivotal movement around an axis 34 (FIG. 1) that extends transverse to solenoid axis 24.
The pivotal mount includes a notch 35 molded into the right end portion of the plastic sheath 18 to receive the lower edge of latch plate 30. As shown best in FIG. 3, the latch plate is cut out (as at 36) to form two ears 38 straddling the rightwardly projecting end portion 40 of the sheath structure. The clearances between ears 38 and projecting portion 40 are relatively small, such that the ears prevent sideways play of the latch plate normal to the plane of the paper in FIG. 1. The latch plate is thus precluded from rubbing against shaft 12 along the side edges of hole 33.
It will be seen from FIG. 2 that planar pole piece 22 has an exposed flat edge 42 extending generally parallel to the flat undersurface 44 of the elongated arm structure 32. The gap between edge 42 and the arm structure undersurface forms a magnetic gap or break 45 in the flux path generated by the electrically-energized winding 17. When the winding is energized, magnetic flux passes through the gap 45 between surfaces 42 and 44 to move arm structure 32 toward pole piece 22.
The magnetic circuit for the solenoid includes shaft 12, latch plate 30, arm structure 32 and pole piece 22. The magnetic flux generated by the solenoid, when energized, causes the armature 28 to rock around axis 34, such that arm structure 32 moves a limited distance toward flat edge 42 of pole piece 22. In FIG. 1, this limited movement is represented by arrows 46. This movement, which is small in magnitude, is sufficient to cause latch plate 30 to grip shaft 12.
The gripping action is great enough to prevent the shaft from moving even when a relatively great axial manual force is applied to the shaft. This is due in part to the significant mechanical advantage provided by arm 32 which generates a large force on shaft 12 by applying a relatively modest force across gap 45.
FIG. 6 shows in magnified form the relationship between latch plate 30 and shaft 12. The solid line position of plate 30 corresponds to the de-energized condition of the solenoid while the dashed line position of plate 30 results from energizing the solenoid. In the full or solid line position of plate 30, the edge 48 of hole 33 grips the shaft at the areas designated by numerals 49 and 50, such that the shaft is locked against linear motion.
FIG. 6 shows the swing axis 34 located below the shaft 12 centerline. However, the swing axis 34 can be located in intersecting relation to the shaft 12 centerline, as depicted in FIG. 7. With the FIG. 7 arrangement, the upper and lower edges of hole 33 are located equidistant from the shaft centerline, so that both edges upper and lower act as shaft gripper surfaces when the winding 17 is energized.
The angular motion of the armature around pivot axis 34 is relatively small, on the order of two degrees. However, the small angular movement is sufficient to enable the latch plate 30 to effectively grip the shaft. Referring to FIG. 1, the small angular movement of the armature around swing axis 34 changes the position of arm structure 32 as indicated by dimension 46. At completion of this movement, the under surface 44 of the arm structure is still preferably spaced from edge 42 of the pole piece. The arm structure need never make physical contract with the pole piece so that the operation is essentially noiseless.
When the solenoid winding is de-energized, armature 28 returns to the FIG. 1 position under the biasing action of coil spring 20. The return movement may be limited by a plastic non flux-conducting stop screw 52 that is threaded into a tapped hole in pole piece 22.. The shank portion of the screw extends through a hole or slot in arm structure 32 smaller than the screw head whereby the head acts as a stop to limit motion of arm structure 32 away from the pole piece.
Stop screw 52 can be turned to adjust the position of the screw head and the arm structure, as may be necessary to ensure that the edge 48 of hole 33 is not in contact with the shaft surface when the solenoid is in a de-energized state. Manual adjustment of the stop screw is used as a calibration procedure to achieve a desired clearance between hole 33 and shaft 12 when the solenoid is de-energized.
Various types of pivot constructions can be used to mount the armature for swinging motion around the right end portion of the solenoid. FIG. 1 shows a notch 35 for this purpose. FIGS. 4 and 5 show an alternate arrangement including two laterally-spaced lugs 54,54 formed integrally with the sheath structure 18. A sleeve 56 is press fit in openings in lugs 54 to form a cylindrical pivot surface.
Armature 28 is molded or otherwise secured to a collar 57 that encircles sleeve 56 whereby the armature is enable to swing around the axis 34 of the sleeve. Shaft 12 can be formed as an elongated ferromagnetic sleeve anchored on a rod or cable 53. The rod or cable can be magnetic or nonmagnetic in nature since the sleeve constitutes the magnetic conductor for the circuit generated by the solenoid winding.
The operation of the FIG. 4 latch structure is the same as that of the FIG. 1 latch structure. In both cases, the angular L-shape of the armature provides a mechanical advantage that tends to provide a high pressure grip of the latch on the shaft. In this regard, it is noted that the distance between pivot axis 34 and magnetic gap 45 is significantly greater than the distance between pivot axis 34 and the shaft grip point 49 (FIG. 6). The magnetic force thereby acts through a longer lever arm than the latch arm force so that the grip action on the shaft is enhanced.
The hole 33 in the latch plate can have its axis 54 angled slightly to an imaginary plane 55 (FIG. 7) normal to the plane of the plate. With such a slight angulation of the hole axis, the upper and lower edges of the hole will tend to engage flatly on the shaft surfaces when the solenoid is energized so that the area of engagement is somewhat increased. This may tend to improve the locking action, although prototypes constructed with the hole axis exactly normal to the plate plane as in FIG. 6 have been found to be practical and effective.
FIGS. 8 and 9 show a solenoid-operated latch using the pivot location depicted in FIG. 7. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 the plastic sheath structure includes two laterally-spaced lugs 57 having aligned circular holes 59 located on an imaginary transverse axis 34 intersecting the axis of shaft 12.
Armature 28 includes a latch plate 30 having two ears 60 (FIG. 10) extending within the circular holes 59 so that the armature can swing around the hole axis. To facilitate initial installation of the armature on the solenoid, the spaced lugs 57 are formed with radial slots 62 having sufficient width to permit insertion of ears 60 into the circular holes 59.
The solenoid-operated latch of FIGS. 8 and 9 function in essentially the same fashion as the earlier described latches except that the pivot action corresponds to the action shown in FIG. 7.
FIGS. 11 through 13 show a further form of the invention designed to automatically return the latch plate to the unlatched condition when a significant axial pulling force is exerted on shaft 12. The arrangement of FIGS. 11 through 13 has particular utility as a brake/shift interlock in the environment shown and described in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 4,887,702. In such an environment., the intent is to provide a limited latching force that can be overcome when a significant manual pulling force is applied to the shaft 12 or the cable in the case of a cable-operated system.
The structure depicted in FIGS. 11 through 13 is, in most respects, similar to the structure of FIGS. 1 through 3 except that the pivot mechanism for the L-shaped armature is slidably mounted on the solenoid coil so as to be able to yield when a predetermined axial force is applied to shaft 12. As shown in FIGS. 11 through 1.3, the solenoid sheath structure 18A has two through holes 21A for mounting the solenoid in a fixed position. Also, the solenoid sheath structure is contoured to provide a slideway 70 for an axially movable hinge element 72. The hinge element can move back and forth a limited distance parallel to the solenoid axis, as indicated by arrows 74 in FIG. 11.
Hinge element 72 has a transverse notch 76 therein that serves as a hinge-type mounting for armature 28. The armature can swing around a transverse axis defined by notch 76. Coil spring 20 exerts a rightward bias on the latch plate area of armature 28 so that the armature and hinge element 72 normally assume the FIG. 11 position when winding 17 is de-energized. Shaft 12 can move freely as indicated by arrows 14 in FIG. 11.
When the electrical winding 17 is energized, armature 28 is magnetically biased to the FIG. 13 position wherein selected edge areas of the hole in latch plate 30 grip the shaft surface. The shaft is thus latched against axial movement under normal conditions i.e. relatively light axial loads on the shaft.
The solenoid sheath structure is configured to form an axially-extending abutment 75 in registry with the left face of latch plate 30. In the FIG. 13 condition, the left face of the latch plate is in close proximity to abutment 75. When a significant axial pulling force is exerted on shaft 12, as indicated by arrow 78 in FIG. 13, abutment 75 acts as a fulcrum to permit clockwise motion of armature 28 around the contact point 77 between the armature and the fulcrum. The manual force must be greater than the magnetic force in order for this action to occur.
During this action, the hinge element 72 can slide to the left (from the FIG. 13 position) so that the armature assumes a position wherein latch plate 30 is normal to the shaft axis. When latch plate 30 reaches a position normal to the shaft axis the edges of hole 33 no longer grip the shaft surface. The shaft can then move freely in response to the manual force.
The structure of FIGS. 11 through 13 functions in a similar fashion to the other described embodiments, except that it has the latch release feature due to the slidable hinge 72.
Some structural variations can be employed without affecting the operational mode. For example, the stop element for armature 28 can be a nut 63 threaded onto a threaded pin as shown in FIG. 8, or a stop could be provided on the housing, or as shown in phanton in FIG. 13, in the form of an arm or loop 80 on hinge 72. In this case, stop screw 52 could be eliminated.
One adavantage of the described constructions is that the operation is noise-free, due to the fact that arm structure 32 does not physically strike the pole piece 22. The latch action takes place before such physical contact can occur.
Another advantage of the described construction is that the mechanical force of the latch plate against the shaft is enhanced because the distance between pivot axis 34 and magnetic gap 45 is greater than the distance between axis 34 and the operative latch plate hole surfaces. The armature movement is relatively small as is the actuating force such that a relatively small solenoid can be used.
A further advantage of the described arrangements is that the latch action can take place along any point on the shaft surface. The solenoid-operated latch can be located at any convenient point along the shaft length. Precise positioning of the latch is not required. The latch has utility in vehicle brake/transmission safety interlock systems.
Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.

/ Behind the scenes - Coronavirus decisions
I don't know how authoritative this piece is - a lot of unattributed sources - but it is very interesting, and more than a little disturbing:
if we had any sense Cummings head would have been on a spike by now.
Shame that the govt did not read the UKC thread about comparisons with Italy on 10th March where they could have got better advice than the unaccountable and unelected Dictator-Commisar ScummingsMy wife listening to German radio and from people in Germany is hearing that our tactics then were looked at in amazement there (her sister is a longtime nurse in Bavaria)
> if we had any sense Cummings head would have been on a spike by now
Did you read his blog on rebuilding the civil service in his data driven image? Link below. Reading it back in January and considering his position in government nearly pushed me over the brink of despair.
> Shame that the govt did not read the UKC thread about comparisons with Italy on 10th March where they could have got better advice than the unaccountable and unelected Dictator-Commisar Scummings
What do us, a bunch of "armchair experts" know? For that matter, what did the rest of Europe, China, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan know? Trust our government, they know what they're doing.
As I said elsewhere on UKC my long fragile trust in our government has now completely jumped the shark and I'm not sure I'll ever recover it.
christ, what a load of dangerous trash in that link!
The actual evidence used by the Government so far is published here:
That's really interesting. It would help if the government followed the guidance of their experts a little more carefully - I noticed this recommendation in the doc "SPI-B return on risk of public disorder":
"SPI-B recommends that, in order to limit the risk of public disorder, Government should:
Provide clear and transparent reasons for different strategies"
Yes, I did note that and also something in one of those other links saying they should set out the plan rather than springing it on us in a daily conference. Both of which I certainly agree with.
Yes, if you look through those docs it seems that our experts are coming up with some sensible ideas, even if they aren't all always agreeing with each other. Hope the government makes the best use of them.

My god. This is scary. This confirms my suspicion that Cummings is basically completely infatuated with all the pseudo science bullshit fads of our generation.
You know it's bad when we agree on something. Cummings has very much fallen for the emperor's new clothes.
I ask again, "by what right" does he rule us?
He needs removing quickly by fair means or foul
A clear and present danger, expressed as a Clancyism, to our national interest and social cohesion
Who's Cummings ruling? It appears to me that it's coming straight from Chris Witty to Bojo. He can witter on all he likes but I don't think anyone is listening.
"This is going to get much, much worse, very quickly, both in terms of deaths and the economy,"
Things are already worse everywhere in the world. The economy is already shaking. And people are losing jobs. This is a very critical situation. And I don't know how China is recovering from the scenario so fast?
Where a country like Italy is suffering badly to fight with the coronavirus.
Because China has a command-and-control-ish economy. It's easier to restart things when what the Government says goes, regardless of any outside factors.
Sounds like you're a sensible well balanced individual. We need more people like you at times of crisis. Oh wait you're just a racing tw*t. I bet you're hoarding bogroll because you'll need loads to wipe the shit off the shit that explodes from your mouth and fingertips when you enter your apoplectic rage.
Confirmation bias.
The coronavirus is no excuse to start being a total arse to other posters. Why does criticism of Cummings send you in to quite such an unpleasant rage?
> Confirmation bias.
Well no actually I have very good reasons to think that because it's there plain and simple in articles written by himself.
You running a fever, treacle?
2 medium sized packs in the house, of which 1 half used. 3 persons in the house. 7 miles from nearest supermarket. No great stocks of food and about half a loaf of bread total. 3 tins of beans + 1 in my camping box. about 10 days of of thyroxine left. Yes we are really stocked. silly prick
