In engineering, the Miller cycle is a thermodynamic cycle used in a type of internal combustion engine. The Miller cycle was patented by Ralph Miller, an American engineer, U.S. patent 2,817,322 dated Dec 24, 1957. The engine may be two-or four-stroke and may be run on diesel fuel, gases, or dual fuel.

Miller applied this technique to the four-stroke engine, so it is sometimes referred as the Atkinson/Miller cycle, US patent 2817322 dated Dec 24, 1957. [2] In 1888, Charon filed a French patent and displayed an engine at the Paris Exhibition in 1889. The Charon gas engine (four-stroke) used a similar cycle to Miller, but without a supercharger.

AJS was already developing another supercharged engine, the AJS Porcupine, but, three months after the Albi race, the FIM banned all forms of forced induction for motorcycle racing. Motor Cycle News reported that the 'Sammy Miller' machine was refurbished and ran during August, 1979 "for the first time since it seized in Albi, France in 1946". [3]
Ralph Miller employed the miller cycle to obtain more power from engines, that were already supercharged, without increasing combustion pressures beyond safe limits. The Mazda KJ Miller Cycle V6 engine uses a supercharger, the Subaru B5-TPH uses a turbo charger while the Miller-cycle engine in the Mazda Demio is naturally aspirated.
The Millenia was available in three models: the base model, the mid-level millenia L with standard leather upholstery, power moonroof and remote keyless entry, and the top-of-the-line millenia S model which featured traction control, heated front seats, heavy duty wipers and the supercharged 2.3-liter V6 Miller cycle engine.

A supercharger (item 6) on a piston engine Roots-type supercharger (right) on a 2006 GM Ecotec LSJ four-cylinder engine. In an internal combustion engine, a supercharger compresses the intake gas, forcing more air into the engine in order to produce more power for a given displacement.
