TLDR
In this article, the authors propose a system where a first heating means directs heated air to the air filter of a vehicle internal combustion engine when the temperature of one portion of a VIN is below a predetermined amount.
Abstract
A system wherein a first heating means directs heated air to the air filter of a vehicle internal combustion engine when the temperature of one portion of said vehicle internal combustion engine is below a predetermined amount. A second heating means consisting of a shroud is provided and is connected to the air filter. Air entering the shroud is heated by the exhaust manifold and a temperature responsive means increases the amount of air directed to the air filter from the shroud as the operating temperature of the engine increases.

Exhaust manifold shield

TL;DR: In this paper, the subject heat shield assembly includes a heat source, an inner member and an outer member which respectively define first and second cooling flow paths, with the first cooling flow path being adapted to convect heat away from the heat source and the inner member as air passes therethrough and the second one adapted to convey heat away between the inner and outer members as air passed therethrough.
