Abstract: A system for removing heat from the engine compartment (9) of a heavy duty truck. A first ventilating system removes heat from the radiator. It is isolated from a second ventilating system that removes heat from the engine compartment. The first system takes heat from the radiator through a plenum by centrifugal squirrel cage blowers, and is directs it out to ambient by ductwork. The second system draws ambient air generally from back to front of the engine compartment, preferably by cowl induction, without the use of ram air from the vicinity of the radiator. The exits of the two systems are into a slip stream of the heavy duty truck, and the exit of the second ventilating system is into a slip stream of the first, to scavenge air out of the engine compartment.

Abstract: A flexor for use in a ski binding or mounting plate for a cross country or touring ski, comprises an extending flexor arm and a holding and positioning portion, wherein the extending flexor arm is connectable to, or integral with, the holding and positioning portion such that the extending flexor arm can rotate and/or displace with respect to the holding and positioning portion around the point of connection between the two. The extending flexor arm is formed such that the amount of displacement of the extending flexor arm as a result of an applied force acting thereon follows a substantially linear relationship, up to a first desired amount of displacement. For a displacement of the extending flexor arm greater than the first desired amount of displacement, the amount of displacement of the extending flexor arm as a result of an applied force acting thereon follows an approximately exponential relationship.
