Abstract: HVAC components having improved efficiency are described. In one embodiment, excessive sleep current draw in a battery-powered device having a microcontroller is detected by measuring a voltage drop across a MOSFET device coupled in a for ward-conducting orientation in series between the battery and the microcontroller, causing a transistor to conduct when the voltage drop exceeds a predetermined threshold to generate a first trigger signal, integrating the first trigger signal to generate a second trigger signal, and generating an interrupt to the microcontroller. In another embodiment, a battery-saving method of operating an HVAC component includes maintaining the HVAC device in the sleep mode, receiving a user input to wake the device, transmitting a data request and returning the HVAC component to the sleep mode, waking up the HVAC device to poll an adjacent network node storing a cached response, displaying the response, and returning the HVAC device to sleep.

Abstract: Techniques and arrangements for forming ground bonds between a plurality of components are provided. In one form, a grounding arrangement includes a first circuit board including a first ground plane and a flange member electrically coupled to the first ground plane. The arrangement also includes a second circuit board including a second ground plane, and a polymeric member including an electrically conductive coating. The polymeric member forms a bond between the first ground plane, the flange member, and the second ground plane. In one particular but non-limiting aspect of this form, the grounding arrangement is utilized in a human machine interface having a liquid crystal display. Further embodiments, forms, objects, features, advantages, aspects, and benefits shall become apparent from the description and drawings.
