Abstract
A mounting apparatus for mounting control circuitry to an air moving device includes, in at least one embodiment, one or more retaining members operable to retain control circuitry for the air moving device. Preferably, the apparatus also includes one or more mounting members enabling the coupling of the apparatus to a portion of an air moving device other than a hub. In a preferred embodiment, the dimensions of the mounting apparatus, as well as the control circuitry, are such that when an assembly comprising the mounting apparatus and the control circuitry is coupled to the air moving device, the assembly does not protrude beyond the volume of the air moving device.
