    Abstract: A multi-vessel reservoir assembly is provided. The multi-vessel reservoir assembly comprises a first fluid vessel, a second fluid vessel, and at least one linkage positioned between the first and second fluid vessels. The at least one linkage serves to maintain the first and second fluid vessels in fixed and spaced-apart relationship relative to one another. The first and second fluid vessels are independent and separately operable.

    Abstract: An automotive surge tank including tank body defining an interior volume, the tank body including a first tank portion and a second tank portion. The tank body includes at least one coolant inlet and a coolant outlet, and an interior divider wall that separates the interior volume of the tank body into two fluidly connected zones. Passage of coolant through the surge tank requires the coolant to travel from one of the zones to the other zone prior to being discharged from the surge tank.

    Abstract: Provided is a headliner air distribution system. The system includes a headliner assembly having a lower perforated sheet that is stationary, and an upper perforated sheet that is moveable relative to the first perforated sheet. The headliner assembly is supported upon an underside surface of a vehicle roof by a pair of bracket rails. The arrangement of the bracket rails serves to place the headliner assembly in spaced-apart relationship relative to the underside surface of the vehicle roof, to establish a plenum for receiving HVAC air. The spatial arrangement of the upper perforated sheet relative to the lower perforated sheet is used to control the passage of HVAC air from the plenum through the headliner assembly into the passenger compartment.
