Abstract: For a shaft of an electric motor with a runout sensing area, an electrical runout value for the runout sensing area is determined, the shaft is rotated and the runout sensing area of the shaft is heated sufficient to reduce the electrical runout value.

Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments comprise a method comprising a plurality of activities comprising, for a shaft of an electric motor, the shaft comprising a runout sensing area: determining an electrical runout value for the runout sensing area; rotating the shaft; and/or heating the runout sensing area of the shaft sufficient to reduce the electrical runout value.

Abstract: A multi-stage process for drying and curing substrates coated with liquid waterborne basecoat and a topcoat includes: (a) applying a liquid waterborne basecoating composition to the substrate surface; (b) exposing the basecoating composition to air having a temperature ranging from ambient to about 40° C. for a period of about 30 seconds to volatilize at least a portion of volatile material from the liquid basecoating composition, the velocity of the air at the surface of the basecoating composition being about 0.3 to about 1 meter per second; (c) applying heated air to the basecoating composition for a period ranging from about 30 to about 45 seconds, the velocity of the air at the surface of the basecoating composition ranging from about 1.5 to 15 meters per second, the air having a temperature ranging from about 30° C. to about 90° C.
