    Abstract: A PCB stator for an axial flux electrical machine includes at least first and second conductive layers. Each electrical phase winding is formed from an alternating sequence of circumferentially distributed first and second spokes. Each of the first spokes has a radially inner end and a radially outer end and is inclined in a first circumferential direction, and each of the second spokes has a radially inner end and a radially outer end and is inclined in a second circumferential direction opposite the first circumferential direction. The first spokes are disposed in the first conductive layer in M/2 circumferentially distributed groups of N first spokes and the second spokes are disposed in the second conductive layer in M/2 circumferentially distributed groups of N second spokes.

  • Patent number: 12261509
    Abstract: In an aspect, an actuator is provided and includes an axial flux motor and an epicycloid gear arrangement. The axial flux motor has a motor stator and a rotor, the rotor defining a rotor axis and having a motor output shaft. The motor output shaft has a first shaft portion that is coaxial with the rotor axis and a second shaft portion that is offset from the rotor axis. The epicycloid gear arrangement includes a ring gear, a cycloid gear, and a gear arrangement output member. The cycloid gear is rotatably mounted to the second shaft portion of the motor output shaft such that rotation of the motor output shaft drives the cycloid gear about the ring gear. The gear arrangement output member is driven rotationally by the cycloid gear about a gear arrangement output member axis that is fixed.

  • Publication number: 20250075136
    Abstract: A process for hydroprocessing a sustainable feedstock is disclosed. The process comprises hydrocracking a hydrocracking feed stream comprising greater than 90% paraffins in a hydrocracking reactor in the presence of hydrogen over a hydrocracking catalyst comprising one or more Group VIII metal and/or Group VIB to provide a hydrocracked stream. The hydrocracking reactor is operated at a temperature of about 290° C. (550° F.) to about 450° C. (842° F.) and a pressure of about 2.7 MPa (gauge) (400 psig) to about 20.7 MPa (gauge) (3000 psig). The hydrocracked stream is hydroisomerized in a hydroisomerization reactor in the presence of hydrogen over a hydroisomerization catalyst to provide a hydroisomerized stream. The hydroisomerized stream is separated to provide a jet fuel stream, a diesel stream, and an unconverted oil stream.

  • Patent number: 11939911
    Abstract: A clutched pulley assembly mountable to the shaft of a motor-generator unit (MGU) has a first sheave, with first spline teeth, rotatably mounted to the MGU shaft, and a second sheave, with second spline teeth, fixed to the MGU shaft. A slider gear with slider gear spline teeth is axially moveable between a torque transfer position, where the slider gear spline teeth simultaneously intermesh with the spline teeth of the first and second sheaves to operatively connect the sheaves to each other, and a torque cut-off position, where the slider gear spline teeth intermesh with the second sheave spline teeth but not the first sheave spline teeth so as to operatively disconnect the sheaves. An actuator drives the slider gear between the torque transfer and cut-off positions. The pulley assembly can be used in a stand-cooling mode wherein the engine is stopped but the MGU powers a load.
