Abstract: A thermostat includes a user interface, a memory, and a processor. The memory is configured to store a profile listing including a plurality of preset profiles. Each of the plurality of preset profiles is associated with a respective temperature regulation unit. The processor is configured to perform a profile selection process when the thermostat is powered on for a first time. To perform the profile selection process, the processor is configured to display a profile selection graphical user interface in response to powering on for the first time where the profile selection graphical user interface facilitates selecting a respective profile from the plurality of preset profiles based on a temperature regulation unit connected to the thermostat, receive a selection of the respective profile based on an input provided to the user interface, and configure the thermostat according to the respective profile to facilitate controlling the temperature regulation unit connected thereto.

Abstract: A method for removing substrate material from a part produced by a 3-D printer. The machine includes a housing having a working chamber defined therein. A spray header is disposed along at least a portion of the perimeter of the working chamber. A pump is configured and arranged to convey a fluid at varying pressures through the spray header. The fluid contacts the part and then flows to the bottom of the working chamber to a fluid outlet.

Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a motor configured to drive rotation of a fan, and an HVAC controller configured to control operation of the HVAC system. The HVAC controller is configured to determine an operating mode target value of the HVAC system, calculate an operating parameter target value of the motor based on the operating mode target value of the HVAC system and a control algorithm of the HVAC controller, and control operation of the motor toward or at the operating parameter target value.

Abstract: A drain pan for a HVAC system includes a middle section defining a cavity extending from a first end of the middle section to a second end of the middle section, a first end section configured to partially extend into the cavity via the first end of the middle section, and a second end section configured to partially extend into the cavity via the second end of the middle section. The second end section includes a drain port. In some embodiments, the drain pan is modular, enabling different middle sections of various lengths to be coupled between the end sections. The cavity of some embodiments is formed by double walls, which insulate the middle section to reduce condensate formation on a bottom surface of the middle section. By forming one or multiple sections from plastic with an anti-microbial additive, the drain pan further reduces corrosion, microbial growth, and/or condensate generation.

Abstract: A controller of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB includes processing circuitry disposed on the PCB and configured to receive a control input, and to determine a motor control output based on the control input. A transformer disposed on the PCB is configured to receive input electrical power at a line voltage, and to generate electrical power at a step-down voltage using the input electrical power.

Abstract: A method for removing substrate material from a part produced by a 3-D printer. The method includes providing a housing having a working chamber defined therein. The method further includes providing a spray header disposed along at least a portion of the perimeter of the working chamber. A pump is configured and arranged to convey a fluid at varying pressures through the spray header. Fluid contacts a part inserted into the working chamber and then flows to the bottom of the working chamber to a fluid outlet.

Abstract: A machine for processing a part produced by a 3-D printer. The machine includes a housing having a working chamber defined therein. A support structure is disposed at the bottom of the working chamber for supporting the part. The structure has at least one opening defined therein. A spray header is disposed along at least a portion of the perimeter of the working chamber. A pump is configured and arranged to convey a fluid at varying pressures through the spray header. The fluid contacts the part and then passes through the opening in the structure where it flows to the bottom of the working chamber to a fluid outlet.
