Abstract: A coolant pump for providing a coolant to an engine includes a pump frame, a rotatable rotor shaft, a pulley wheel co-rotatably fixed to the rotor shaft, an axially shiftable ferromagnetic rotatable pump wheel, and an electromagnetic wet friction clutch arrangement. The pump wheel is axially shiftable with respect to the rotor shaft and the pump frame. The clutch arrangement comprises a static electromagnet, a clutch disk co-rotatably supported by the rotor shaft, a first clutch friction surface arranged at the clutch disk and a thereto corresponding second clutch friction surface arranged at the pump wheel, and a separate stop friction surface arranged at the pump wheel and a thereto corresponding static stop friction surface arranged at the static pump frame. The electromagnet, when fully energized, axially attracts the pump wheel so that the separate stop friction surface and the static stop friction surface engage to stop the pump wheel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a carotenoid-protein complex in vivo comprising the steps of transforming of prokaryote cell with genes involved in carotenoid synthesis and with a gene encoding an apo-carotenoprotein; culturing said prokaryote cells such as to induce sequential genes expression, isolating and purifying the carotenoid-protein complex.
