20090205595Continuously variable valve lift system including valve deactivation capability on one of two dual intake vavles - In a dual intake valve arrangement for an internal combustion engine, a continuously variable valve lift (CVVL) system controls two intake valves for one or more engine cylinders. In each cylinder, one of the intake valves includes an associated valve deactivation device, and the other intake valve does not. To improve in-cylinder air flow turbulence under low valve lift, one of the intake valves may be deactivated, resulting in mixture intake through only one valve, resulting in strong swirl by unbalanced flow. A CVVL-equipped engine including a valve deactivation device provides the same amount of air flow for the same engine load as a prior art CVVL engine. A method of introducing a swirl to the mixture is also described.08-20-2009

In one aspect of the invention, high lift events with full duration are produced whenever the control shaft is aligned such that the input rocker pivot center and the output cam pivot center are coincidental.03-17-2011
20110139099Dual Intake Valve System with One Deactivation Valve and One Multi-Lift Valve for Swirl Enhancement - In a dual intake valve arrangement for an internal combustion engine, a variable valve lift system controls two intake valves for one or more engine cylinders. In each cylinder, one of the intake valves includes an associated two-step actuation device, and the other includes an associated valve deactivation device. To improve in-cylinder air flow turbulence, one valve may be operated in a high-lift or low-lift state while the other valve may be deactivated.06-16-2011
