A method for configuring a controlling device to command functional operations of at least one controllable appliance. The flange has a single mounting notch therein that is formed during the manufacturing process to adapt the connector for use in a particular angular mounting position. The temperature selector is in the form of a rotary knob that is axially shiftable to change modes when the selector is positioned at the full cold setting and spring-biased so that the normal mode is established as the default mode. The multi-service control point generates an output in response that will be used to generate an output ATM setup message that includes the alias ATM address. The temperature of air passively or actively drawn through rotor may also be modulated to maintain bearing temperature within a predetermined range. The invention also relates to a method for the production thereof and to particles and implants containing said preparations.
