Abstract: The present application relates to crystalline forms of 1-[(3R,4S)-4-cyanotetrahydropyran-3-yl]-3-[(2-fluoro-6-methoxy-4-pyridyl) amino]pyrazole-4-carboxamide and processes for the preparation thereof. The compound is useful for the treatment of JAK-mediated diseases or conditions such as atopic dermatitis.

Abstract: The present disclosure encompasses crystalline forms of N1-(1-cyanocyclopropyl)-N2-((1S)-1-{4?-[(1R-2,2-difluoro-1-hydroxyethyl]biphenyl-4-yl}-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-4-fluoro-L-leucinamide and processes for the preparation thereof.

Abstract: A method for creating a composite article using fast heat treating thermoset resin materials for 3D printing articles, including articles of complex geometry. The method includes using vacuum impregnation and subsequent heat treating as post printing processes to further strengthen and enhance the functionality of the article.

Abstract: A stator having a common varnish and weld insulation includes a stator lamination core and a motor winding wound around the stator lamination core. The motor winding includes a plurality of magnet wires configured such that they are substantially parallel to each other. Each magnet wire has two distal ends configured such that each distal end is welded to one distal end of an adjacent magnet wire, thereby forming a plurality of welded tips. The stator further includes a resin coating the welded tips and the stator. The resin serves as both a primary insulation for the welded tips, and as a varnish for the stator. This dual function of the resin may eliminate the need for separate insulation for the welded tips and varnish for the stator, and allow the resin to be applied to the welded tips and to the stator at substantially the same time.

Abstract: A method and system for non-destructive evaluation of one or more welds of a stator includes activating the stator welds using an electrical current; recording radiometric thermal images of the welds over time; and analyzing a temperature-time profile of a weld to qualify the weld by one or more of estimating the size of the weld, determining if the temperature of the activated weld has exceeded a predetermined temperature at a predetermined time, or comparing the temperature-time profile of the weld to a reference. The stator may be configured as a bar wound stator. A mask may be applied to the stator to reduce reflections or emissions from non-weld thermal sources.

Abstract: A seal for a vehicle having a transmission output shaft and a transmission output shaft housing is provided. The seal comprises a contact member at least partially surrounding and contacting the transmission output shaft, a support member coupled to the contact member, the support member at least partially surrounding the transmission output shaft and extending along the transmission output shaft, the support member coupled to the transmission output shaft housing, and an electrically-conductive surface overlying at least a portion of the contact member and at least a portion of the support member, the electrically-conductive surface contacting the transmission output shaft and the transmission output shaft housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing element at least comprising a housing area, at least one dynamically active sealing area and at least one statically active sealing area which at least partially interacts with the housing area. The invention is characterized in that the static sealing area is at least partially laminated with a hardenable material containing a predetermined number of friction-reducing elements.
