Abstract: A gas exchange valve of an internal combustion engine, has valve lifting movements with valve displacement curves and a control unit. To this end, a control unit is provided for operation of at least one valve, in particular a gas exchange valve of an internal combustion engine, in which the valvelifting movement of the at least one valve (6) is generated by superimposing two synchronously rotating cam profiles acting mechanically on a lift operating element (4). The two cam profiles (1, 2) have specially shaped areas by means of which, when superimposed to form one of the two cam profiles (1, 2), at least one additional valve displacement (ZV) can be generated on the whole in addition to a main valve displacement movement (HV) over a full revolution of each of these cam profiles (1, 2).

Abstract: A method for calibrating a distance sensor of a rotary actuator device for controlling a valve of an internal combustion engine. The rotary actuator includes an electric motor with an actuator element for actuating the valve, two energy storage means acting on the valve in opposite drive directions, and a control unit for controlling the electric motor. The electric motor is controlled such that the valve is transferred from a first end position, in which the actuator element is a metastable torque-neutral position, to a second metastable torque-neutral position. Starting from a torque-neutral position, the electric motor is controlled such that the rotor is moved out of the torque-neutral position in at least one direction by a distance, and the resulting electric motor power consumption is measured. Depending on the electric motor current values, a new rotor position for calibration of the distance signal is ascertained.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing partial bleeder braking engine valve actuation are disclosed. In an embodiment of the present invention, a cam may be provided with a main exhaust lobe, a partial bleeder lobe and an inner base circle portion between the two lobes. A rocker arm including an internal rocker passage may be operatively connected to the cam. The rocker arm may contact a valve bridge at a central portion. The valve bridge may be operatively connected to first and second engine valves at its first and second ends, respectively. A slave piston incorporated into the first end of the valve bridge and a master piston may be incorporated into the central portion of the valve bridge. A hydraulic circuit may be provided between the master and slave pistons. A bleed hole may be provided above the slave piston. The master and slave pistons may be selectively actuated and the bleed hole may be selectively blocked and unblocked to provide partial bleeder braking as a result of the valve actuation motion imparted from the cam to the valve bridge through the rocker arm.

Abstract: A lost motion engine valve actuation system and method of actuating an engine valve are disclosed. The system may comprise a valve train element, a pivoting lever, a control piston, and a hydraulic circuit. The pivoting lever may include a first end for contacting the control piston, a second end for transmitting motion to a valve stem and a means for contacting a valve train element. The amount of lost motion provided by the system may be selected by varying the position of the control piston relative to the pivoting lever. Variation of the control piston position may be carried out by placing the control piston in hydraulic communication with a control trigger valve and one or more accumulators. Actuation of the trigger valve releases hydraulic fluid allowing for adjustment of the control piston position. Means for limiting valve seating velocity, filling the hydraulic circuit upon engine start up, and mechanically locking the control piston/lever for a fixed level of valve actuation are also disclosed.
