  • Patent number: 7594483
    Abstract: An engine cooling system has an engine water jacket, a coolant circulation passage connecting a water jacket outlet to a water jacket inlet and a radiator disposed in the coolant circulation passage. A thermostat valve selectively closes and opens the coolant circulation passage leading to the radiator. A bypass passage extends from between the water jacket outlet and the thermostat valve to an outlet side of the radiator. A bridge passage connects a portion of the bypass passage to a portion of the coolant circulation passage located downstream of the radiator and upstream of where the bypass passage merges therewith. A resistance generating section is located downstream of the bridge passage connection to the coolant circulation passage and upstream of the bypass passage connection to the coolant circulation passage. The bridge passage has an oil heat exchanger to exchange heat between the cooling medium and transmission oil passing therethrough.

  • Patent number: 4048849
    Abstract: Method and apparatus wherein a set of three non-contact gap detectors are arranged at predetermined regular intervals parallel to and in the direction of measurement of the surface flatness of a material, and the gap between the material and each detector is measured and computed continuously to continuously measure and indicate the surface flatness of the material without being affected by an overall curve of the material and also to measure the period of the occurrences of the defect in the flatness of the material.
