Abstract: In an interface unit, a shield layer includes an aperture through which magnetic flux generated by a power feeding coil of an antenna passes. Since the antenna is smaller than the shield layer, the aperture is much smaller than the shield layer. Thus, noise constituted by electromagnetic waves that travel from inside to outside of a computer via an aperture provided in an upper surface cover is blocked. During communication, the antenna and the shield layer are electromagnetically coupled to each other, and the shield layer defines and functions as an antenna. This allows proper communication with a communication target.

Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of climate control system controllers and methods for staging controller functions. In an exemplary embodiment, a climate control system controller generally includes power stealing circuitry, charge storage device(s) for storing charge provided by the power stealing circuitry and for providing power for controller functions, and a processor. For each controller function, the processor predefines a maximum wait time corresponding to the controller function. Before performance of one of the controller functions, the processor compares at least once the current level of charge on the charge storage device(s) to a predefined voltage level. Based on the comparing, the processor delays performance of the controller function until the corresponding predefined maximum wait time has passed and/or the current level of charge on the charge storage device(s) has reached the predefined voltage level.
