  2. Variable valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing

    The timing, duration and lift of these valve events has a significant impact on engine performance. Without variable valve timing or variable valve lift, the valve timing is the same for all engine speeds and conditions, therefore compromises are necessary to achieve the desired result in intake and exhaust efficiency . This has been described ...

  3. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...

  4. Helical camshaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helical_camshaft

    A helical camshaft is a type of mechanical variable valve actuation (VVA) system. More specifically, it is a camshaft that allows the valve opening duration to be varied over a wide, continuous, step-less range, with all of the added duration being at full valve lift.

  5. Actuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuation

    Actuation may refer to: High Redundancy Actuation (HRA), a new approach to fault tolerant control in the area of mechanical actuation Variable valve actuation , any mechanism or method that can alter the shape or timing of a valve lift event within an internal combustion engine

  6. Variator (variable valve timing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variator_(variable_valve...

    The Alfa Romeo Twin Spark engine, introduced in the 1987 Alfa Romeo 75, also uses variable valve timing. [3] [4] The Alfa system varies the phase (not the duration) of the cam timing and operates on the inlet camshaft. [5] Alfa Romeo's variator is a cylindrical chamber that contains a pressure chamber and piston along with helical splines.

    The CEO revealed that Valve is currently working on brain-computer interface software that can be applied to headsets, which can then monitor the wearer’s brain signals. To put it simply: a BCI ...

  9. MultiAir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiAir

    The solenoid valve regulates the amount of oil pumped by the cam action to either the valve or a bypass reservoir. When pressurized, the hydraulic line behaves like a solid body and transmits the lift schedule imparted by the intake cam directly to the intake valve. When the solenoid is disengaged, a spring takes over valve actuation duties.
