An aluminum layered heat shield assembly () includes a pair of spaced metallic facing sheets () fabricated from an aluminum composition. In the interstitial space between the facing sheets (), a perforated steel core () is formed in the general shape of a zigzag baffle with segments that adjoin and maintain a generally consistent spacing. The perforated steel core () is fabricated with non-perforated flanges () which project outwardly from between the aluminum facing sheets () to establish extensions for attachment to a supporting structure.

A gasket assembly and method of manufacture thereof provides a plurality of discrete, interconnected capsule beads spaced from one another. A sealant material is disposed in the capsule beads, such that when the capsule beads are ruptured under an applied clamping force, the gasket material is released from the capsule beads.

Gasket assembly and method of manufacture thereof

A multi-use gasket assembly includes at least two lobes each having a fluid-conveying opening with an associated axis. Four mounting holes are formed in each of the lobes about the openings. The gasket has symmetry across a plane of symmetry containing the axes of the openings.
