20130025729 | DUCT PORT FOR PRESSURE SENSING - The present disclosure related generally to ports for sensing one or more parameters in an HVAC system, and methods for installing such ports. In one illustrative embodiment, a port provides a fluid passageway through a wall of an HVAC component such as an air duct. The port may be formed of a hollow stem member having a first end and a second end and a head member positioned therebetween. The port may include an anchor member for anchoring the port to a wall of the HVAC component. In some cases, the anchor member may secure the port within the wall such that the head member forms a substantially fluid tight seal with the wall. | 01-31-2013 |
20140262484 | BATTERY HOLDER FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) controller may include a housing and a printed circuit board (PCB) situated within the housing. The PCB may include a battery seat region and electrical terminals for electrically connecting a battery to the PCB when the battery is positioned at the battery seat region. The housing may include an opening that may be configured to receive the battery. The battery seat region may be at least partially offset relative to the opening in the housing, but accessible via the opening. The housing may be configured to allow the battery to be inserted into the opening and then moved laterally to the battery seat region, where the battery may be at least partially covered and/or protected by the housing when at the battery seat region. In some cases, the battery may be inserted within the housing without adjusting any part of the housing. | 09-18-2014 |
20140262490 | TERMINAL ASSEMBLY FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A terminal assembly for use with an electronic device may include a first portion for secure a wire and a second portion for receiving a pin of an electronic device. The first portion and the second portion may be configured to electrically connect the pin to the wire. | 09-18-2014 |
20140268452 | ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE CONNECTOR AND METHOD FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An illustrative electronic assembly having an electrical connector therein to ground an electronic component of the electronic assembly to a grounding feature of a printed wiring assembly (PWA) of the electronic assembly. The electronic assembly may include a housing, the PWA, the electronic component and the electrical connector. The electrical connector may be a conductive and resilient extender or connector that may have a first portion connected to the PWA and a second portion extending generally away from the PWA toward the electronic component. The second portion of the electrical connector may be in mechanical and electrical contact with the electronic component. | 09-18-2014 |
20140268600 | HOUSING FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE INTERNAL WALLS - An electronic device may include a housing and a printed circuit board, where the housing has a front cover and a back cover that at least substantially enclose the printed circuit board. In some instances, the back cover may include an outer shell and one or more inward extending walls that extend inwardly toward the printed circuit board. In some cases, the inward extending walls, the outer shell, and the printed circuit board define two or more internal pockets within the housing. The pockets may, in some cases, separate one region of the printed circuit board from another region of the printed circuit board. In some instances, the one or more inward extending walls may be configured to provide support to a back side of the printed circuit board, which may be particularly useful when a touch screen display is mounted on a front side of the printed circuit board. | 09-18-2014 |
20140268602 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHODS - An electronic assembly may have a display, a display holder, and a printed circuit board (PCB). The display may have a front side for viewing the display, a back side, and side walls extending between the front side and the back side. The display holder may have a recess for receiving at least part of the display, where the display holder may extend adjacent part of the front side of the display and adjacent at least part of the side walls of the display. The PCB may be secured relative to the display holder and adjacent the back side of the display. The PCB may be in operative communication with the display. In some cases, a spacer may be situated between the back side of the display and the PCB. | 09-18-2014 |
20150160633 | BUILDING AUTOMATION CONTROLLER WITH REAR PROJECTING LIGHT - An HVAC controller may include a housing that is mountable on a vertical surface and a printed circuit board that is disposed within the housing. The printed circuit board may include a light source operably secured to the printed circuit board. A light guide may be secured relative to the printed circuit board such that light from the light source enters the light guide and propagates along the light guide. The light guide includes a light input pocket configured to receive light from the light source, a bifurcated inlet section optically coupled to the light input pocket, a light guide body extending from the bifurcated inlet section, and an output surface extending along a rear facing surface of the light guide body such that light exiting the output surface is projected onto the vertical surface to which the housing is mountable. | 06-11-2015 |
20150204570 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHODS - An electronic assembly may have a display, a display holder, and a printed circuit board (PCB). The display may have a front side for viewing the display, a back side, and side walls extending between the front side and the back side. The display holder may have a recess for receiving at least part of the display, where the display holder may extend adjacent part of the front side of the display and adjacent at least part of the side walls of the display. The PCB may be secured relative to the display holder and adjacent the back side of the display. The PCB may be in operative communication with the display. In some cases, a spacer may be situated between the back side of the display and the PCB. | 07-23-2015 |
