Let $P(a\sec \theta ,\;b\tan \theta )$ and $Q(a\sec \varphi ,\;b\tan \varphi )$, where $\theta + \phi = \frac{\pi }{2}$, be two points on the hyperbola $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$. If $(h, k)$ is the point of intersection of the normals at $P$ and $Q$, then $k$ is equal to
