Abstract: A variable valve mechanism of an internal combustion engine includes an outer arm, an inner arm, a switching device that switches between a coupled state and a non-coupled state, and a lost motion spring. The lost motion spring has an extending portion extending from the outside of the space to the inside of the space. The extending portion has a contact portion that is in contact with the inner arm in the space and being configured to swing in conjunction with swinging of the inner arm. A through-hole is formed in a vertically intermediate portion of the outer arm such that connecting portions are provided at vertically opposite sides of the through-hole, and a portion of the extending portion, a swinging amount of which is smaller than that of the contact portion, passes through the through-hole that allows the portion to swing therein.

Abstract: The inventive rotary engine comprises a cylindrical chamber inside a casing wherein there is a concentric rotatable power shaft and a rotatable asymmetric main wheel mounted eccentrically enough as such to avoid contact with the wall of cylindrical chamber. Additionally two bars traversing the main wheel radially further having a wiping contact with the cylindrical chamber wherein one bar is fixed with power shaft and other bar is hinged with said power shaft. A combustion process is in action within a demarcated combustion chamber whereby the combustion chamber rotatably travels from a bottom dead volume to a top dead volume and hence a power, generated during this path of rotational travel, is subsequently available for delivery at the concentric power shaft.

Abstract: An electromagnetic valve apparatus with nonlinear springs for variable valve timing in an internal combustion engine. The apparatus includes a valve, floating spring assembly, translational cam, and motor. The cam and spring serve to minimize lash and valve stem bending forces. During opening and closing of the valve, spring potential energy is converted into valve kinetic energy and then back into potential energy at the end of the motion. The potential energy is then available for the next opening/closing event. The motor initiates motion, replaces friction and vibration losses, and terminates motion. However, the motor supplies minimal energy as the valve opens and closes, and vice-versa, naturally due to combined effects of system inertia and the nonlinear spring. In addition to valve control, the apparatus may be applied to fuel injectors, or any reciprocating linear or rotary mechanism where electronic control is used.

Abstract translation: 一种用于内燃机可变气门正时的非线性弹簧的电磁阀装置。 该装置包括阀，浮动弹簧组件，平移凸轮和马达。 凸轮和弹簧用于最大限度地减少间隙和阀杆弯曲力。 在阀的打开和关闭期间，弹簧势能被转换成阀动能，然后在运动结束时回到势能。 潜在的能量随后可用于下一个开/关事件。 电机启动运动，代替摩擦和振动损失，并终止运动。 然而，当阀门打开和关闭时，电机提供最小的能量，反之亦然，这是由于系统惯性和非线性弹簧的组合效应。 除了阀控制之外，该装置可以应用于燃料喷射器，或者使用电子控制的任何往复式线性或旋转机构。
