A fall detection/fall indicator device that automatically senses when a user of fall protection equipment, such as a fall harness, has experienced an arrested fall, the fall harness having an electrical circuit that is a closed circuit in a first state and an open circuit in a second state after an arrested fall, and an alert device that is automatically responsive to the open circuit to emit an alert/alarm to other personnel that an arrested fall has been experienced.

Fall detection alert/alarm device and method

A fall detection/fall indicator device () that automatically senses when a user () of fall protection equipment, such as a fall harness (), has experienced an arrested fall, the fall harness () having an electrical circuit () that is a closed circuit () in a first state and an open circuit () in a second state after an arrested fall, and an alert device () that is automatically responsive to the open circuit () to emit an alert/alarm to other personnel that an arrested fall has been experienced.

A surge protection circuit for an electronic device such as an HVAC controller. In one example, the surge protection circuit may include a first voltage clamp, a second voltage clamp, a resistor, and an output port. The first voltage clamp may provide a first clamping voltage between a power input terminal and a common terminal. The second voltage clamp may provide a second clamping voltage that is less than the first clamping voltage. The resistor may be connected in series with the second voltage clamp, and the series connected resistor and second voltage clamp may be connected in parallel with the first voltage clamp. As such, a surge current at the power input terminal may be split between the first voltage clamp and the second voltage clamp. The amount of surge current that is provided to the second voltage clamp may be set by the value of the resistor.

Thermostat assembly

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.

Thermostat with display and printed circuit board

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.
