PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a valve variably-driving system of an internal combustion engine capable of controlling a second sub-cycle by opening an engine valve without waiting the lapse of a minimum waiting time after completing the previous sub-cycle in the operation state of an engine in a multi-lift drive mode. SOLUTION: A solenoid valve for controlling a liquid pressure system variably driving a valve of the internal combustion engine has a valve element 105 cooperating with a valve seat 104, and a pusher element 113 separated from the valve element 105 and pushed to the valve element 105 by a movable core 112 of a solenoid valve at the excitation of a solenoid 111 of the solenoid valve and keeping to contact with the valve seat 104. After the demagnetization of the solenoid valve, while a movable core 112 and the pusher element 113 are displaced in a direction opposite to the moving direction generated by a magnetic field of the solenoid 111, a braking current is applied to the solenoid 111 of the solenoid valve.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem of mutual interference between distinct optical systems designed for a lamp constructed according to the principle of the solution of a module. SOLUTION: The module for projecting a light beam comprises: a light source 10 suitable for generating the light beam; a substantially flat support surface 20 on which the source is arranged in a manner to emit the light beam from only one side of the surface; and a curved reflecting surface 30 which extends on one side of the support surface and has its cavity facing the support surface, and which is capable of reflecting the light beam originating from the source in a principal direction substantially parallel to the support surface of the source, the reflecting surface being divided into a plurality of reflecting areas (31, 32 and 33) suitable for receiving respective portions of the light beam. The plurality of reflecting areas comprise at least one area (32 or 33) such that the portion of the light beam reflected by that area is substantially collimated in a vertical direction and has a small horizontal divergence α less than a first predetermined angular value α 1 , and at least one area 31 which is designed in a manner such that the portion of the light beam reflected by that area has a wide horizontal divergence α greater than a second predetermined angular value α 2 .

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maximize the efficiency of a compressor by controlling the geometry of a variable compressor for supplying pressurized fluid to an internal-combustion engine. SOLUTION: The control method includes determining a target geometry (POS TARGET ) of the compressor 3 so as to maximize the efficiency of the compressor 3 in the current operation condition, and controlling the geometry of the compressor 3 on the basis of the target geometry (POS TARGET ). The target geometry (POS TARGET ) is determined on the basis of at least one quantity chosen from the group comprising pressure (P AIR ), temperature (T AIR ) and flow rate (M AIR ) of the fluid to be pressurized, pressure (P BOOST ) and temperature (T BOOST )of the pressurized fluid, and engine speed (RPM).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reluctance network to which magnetic detection characteristics can be adapted easily by stabilizing the parameters of a plurality of reluctance elements. SOLUTION: The reluctance network has the plurality of reluctance elements 10 and responds to magnetic fields H ext , H p . One or at least one reluctance element 10 has at least one reluctance element having a nanoconstriction shape. The nanoconstriction has pads 12, 13 made of at least two magnetic materials. The pads are related to respective magnetizations 16, 17 oriented in opposite directions mutually substantially, and are connected via a nanochannel 11. The nanochannel 11 can arrange a domain wall 15. The domain wall determines the electric resistance of the nanoconstriction as a function of the position of the domain wall 15 formed in a sensor device for the nanochannel 11.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for variable and flexible valve actuation to control a gas replacing process and an engine combustion process in the best manner under a given operating condition. SOLUTION: An internal combustion engine is equipped with the system for variable actuation of intake valves that is controlled electronically for the purpose, of imparting on the valves different opening and closing times and different lifts according to the operating conditions of the engine. During one and the same cycle of operation of the engine, the system is able to impart on each intake valve a series of successive cycles of movements of opening and closing within the conventional cycle.
