Abstract: An engine cooling system is provided for compactly and more efficiently pumping cooling fluid through an engine and a radiator of a vehicle. The engine cooling system has an engine, a charge storage device in electrical communication with the engine for supplying a charge to the engine, and a radiator in fluid communication with the engine for cooling fluid passing through the radiator from the engine. A pump is in fluid communication with the engine and the radiator for pumping fluid from the engine to the radiator and to the engine from the radiator. A fan, preferably compactly connected to the pump, cooperates with the radiator for cooling fluid circulating through the radiator, and a temperature sensor is connected to the engine for sensing the temperature of the engine. A pump control is in electrical communication with the temperature sensor and is connected to the pump for operating the pump when the temperature of the engine exceeds a predetermined value.

Abstract: A vehicle braking system is characterized by being constructed for self-purging and removal of air from the brake lines to thereby prevent the accumulation of air therein so as to provide a more effective braking system. The braking system has a master cylinder including a fluid reservoir for supplying brake fluid to the braking system and a hydraulically controlled disk brake having a caliper including a plurality of cylinders arranged in the caliper and a plurality of respective hydraulically actuable brake pistons guided in the cylinders. An inlet brake line interconnects the master cylinder and the caliper for supplying brake fluid to the caliper and an outlet brake line also interconnects the master cylinder and the caliper for receiving brake fluid from the caliper.
