    Abstract: This invention is directed to a novel camshaft for engine timing. The cam positions of the camshaft include secondary lobes in conjunction with normal primary lobes. The secondary lobes are positioned so that they precede their associated primary lobe during camshaft rotation. The secondary lobes cause an associated valve to open slightly and close completely prior to the normally expected valve opening caused by the primary lobe. This slight opening and closing creates a shock wave that aids the atomizing air and fuel mixing in the intake system prior to normal intake valve opening and enhances the scavenging of combustion gases during the exhaust cycle.

    Abstract: A camshaft for the drive of an internal combustion engine has a hollow shaft carrying one or more cams or partial cams and an inner shaft disposed within the hollow shafts and rotatable relative to the hollow shaft. The inner shaft has one or more cams or partial cams disposed outside the hollow shaft and attached for rotation with the inner shaft through clearances in the hollow shaft. A camshaft driving arrangement includes a camshaft timing gear coupled with both shafts and a device responsive to a parameter characteristic of the operating conditions of the drive for adjusting the rotational position of either one or both of the inner and hollow shafts relative to the camshaft timing gear. The adjusting device includes an electric motor fixed on the timing gear and controlled by electrical signals. The motor acts on a threaded spindle which meshes with a counterthread surface on the inner shaft or the outer shaft, or both, for adjusting the relative position of the shaft or shafts relative to top dead center.

    Abstract: An internal combustion engine is run at high compression ratios by always starting the compression of the charge at sub-atmospheric pressure, thus allowing high compression ratios without excessive pressure at the end of the compression stroke. Higher compression ratios allow higher expansion ratios and increased efficiency. The method is suitable for use with both spark ignition and compression ignition internal combustion engines.

    Abstract: An internal combustion engine wherein a single cylinder is provided with a rich fuel-air mixture inlet valve for supplying rich fuel-air mixtures from a source of supply of rich fuel-air mixtures and a lean fuel-air mixture inlet valve for supplying lean fuel-air mixtures from a source of supply of lean fuel-air mixtures. The rich fuel-air mixture inlet valve and the lean fuel-air mixture inlet valve alternately open to alternately supply rich fuel-air mixtures and lean fuel-air mixtures to the cylinder. Exhaust gases discharged through an exhaust valve provided to the cylinder are delivered to an exhaust gas thermal reactor.

    Abstract: A camshaft assembly for a vehicle valvetrain having first and second engine valves includes a camshaft, and a first camshaft cartridge axially displaceable along the camshaft and including a plurality of first cam lobes configured to selectively impart movement to the first engine valve. A second camshaft cartridge is axially displaceable along the camshaft and includes a plurality of second cam lobes configured to selectively impart movement to the second engine valve. An actuator is configured to axially displace the first camshaft cartridge along the camshaft. A coupling is between the first camshaft cartridge and the second camshaft cartridge. Axial displacement of the first camshaft cartridge selectively imparts movement to the second camshaft cartridge for axial displacement of the second camshaft cartridge.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for providing secondary air to an exhaust system during catalyst warm-up. In one example, a method may include, during a cold start condition, operating an engine with a first number of cylinders unfired and a remaining number of cylinders fired during an engine cycle, opening an intake valve of an unfired cylinder of the first number of cylinders during an expansion stroke of the unfired cylinder, and opening an exhaust valve of the unfired cylinder during a compression stroke of the unfired cylinder. In this way, the unfired cylinders may provide the secondary air to the exhaust system during a stroke that increases mixing of the secondary air with burned exhaust gas from fired cylinders, thus increasing exotherm production in the exhaust system to increase a temperature of the catalyst.
