Abstract: A thermostatic valve assembly for an internal combustion engine cooling system. The thermostatic valve assembly including a valve housing and a plunger assembly. The valve housing includes a chamber, an inlet port, a radiator output port, and a bypass output port. The bypass output port including a flow opening. The plunger assembly being slideably secured within the chamber and moving between a first position to close the flow opening and a second position to open the flow opening. The plunger assembly comprises a body and at least one seal configured to seal the flow opening when in the first position.

Abstract: A transmission manifold for an automobile is molded of material with low electrical conductivity. Ports are formed on opposite faces of the manifold, with a passage between a port on one face of the manifold and a port on an opposite face of the manifold. Electrically conductive inserts extend into the passage from the ports on opposite faces of the body, and an electrically conductive spring is compressed between the inserts, to establish continuous electrical contact between the first insert and the second insert.
