摘要： Improved actuators and valve control systems, and methods for controlling actuators and/or engine valves, are disclosed. In addition to the inherent capability of timing control, the ability to provide continuous valve lift or stroke control greatly improves engine achieve fuel economy, emission and performance. The power-off state of the actuator is at the minimum stroke, from which an easy start-up can be directly executed. The minimum stroke is also very beneficial to achieve efficient low load operation. Even with continuous lift variation, the present invention is able to keep the spring force neutral or zero point in the center of a stroke, thus maintaining an efficient scheme of energy conversion and recovery through the pendulum action. When in compression braking or other high engine cylinder air pressure working mode, the invention is able to supply necessary force to open the engine valve. By adding a substantial hydraulic force to coincide with the spring returning force at the beginning of each stroke, the system can help overcome the engine cylinder air pressure and compensate for frictional losses. The invention incorporates lash adjustment into all alternative preferred embodiments, and makes it possible to trigger and complete one engine valve stroke by just one, instead of two, switch actions of the actuation switch valve.
摘要翻译：公开了改进的致动器和阀控制系统以及用于控制致动器和/或发动机阀的方法。除了定时控制的固有能力之外，提供连续的气门升程或行程控制的能力大大提高了发动机实现燃油经济性，排放和性能。执行器的断电状态处于最小行程，从而可以直接执行简单的启动。最小冲程对于实现有效的低负载运行也是非常有益的。即使具有连续升程变化，本发明也能够将弹簧力中立或零点保持在行程的中心，从而通过摆锤动作保持能量转换和恢复的有效方案。当在压缩制动或其他高发动机气缸空气压力工作模式时，本发明能够提供必要的力来打开发动机气门。通过在每次行程开始时加上大量的液压力与弹簧复位力相一致，该系统可以帮助克服发动机气缸的空气压力并补偿摩擦损失。本发明将间隙调节结合到所有替代的优选实施例中，并且使得可以仅通过致动切换阀的一个而不是两个开关动作来触发和完成一个发动机气门冲程。

摘要： Actuators, and corresponding methods and systems for controlling such actuators, provide independent lift and timing control with minimum energy consumption. In an exemplary embodiment, an actuation cylinder in a housing defines a longitudinal axis and having first and second ends in first and second directions. An actuation piston in the cylinder, with first and second surfaces, is moveable along the longitudinal axis. First and second actuation springs bias the actuation piston in the first and second directions, respectively. A first fluid space is defined by the first end of the actuation cylinder and the first surface of the actuation piston, and a second fluid space is defined by the second end of the actuation cylinder and the second surface of the actuation piston. A fluid bypass short-circuits the first and second fluid spaces when the actuation piston is not substantially proximate to either the first or second end of the actuation cylinder. A first flow mechanism is provided in fluid communication between the first fluid space and a first port, and a second flow mechanism is provided in fluid communication between the second fluid space and a second port. The term “fluid” includes both liquids and gases, and the actuator may be coupled to a stem to form a variable valve actuator in an internal combustion engine, for example.

摘要： An electrorheological damping device for reducing translational vibration between two bodies comprises a rotary electrorheological damper and transmission means for converting the translational vibration between the two bodies to the rotary motion of the rotary electrorheological damper. The rotary electrorheological damper includes a stator and a rotor that are coaxially arranged. The stator have a plurality of stator electrodes, and the rotor have a plurality of rotor electrodes. The stator electrodes and the rotor electrodes face each other alternatively within at least one fluid chamber. The fluid chamber is filled with an electrorheological fluid that varies its rheological properties when exposed to an electric field. The electrorheological fluid fills spaces between each pair of the stator and rotor electrodes. The rotary electrorheological damper is able to control the damping torque that resists rotary motion between the stator and the rotor and, thus, the translational vibration between the two bodies. An alternative embodiment integrates a pneumatic spring into the electrorheological damping device to create a compact full suspension system, where the rotary ER damper doubles as a piston inside the cylinder of the pneumatic spring.

摘要： An expansion valve for an air conditioning system circulates refrigerant through a fixed-displacement compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator. An inlet is provided for receiving refrigerant liquefied in the condenser. An outlet of the expansion valve supplies refrigerant to the evaporator. A valve element controls flow of refrigerant between the inlet and the outlet, wherein the valve element is normally closed. A control assembly is coupled to the valve element and is responsive to at least one temperature or pressure in the air conditioning system to open the valve element to variably meter the refrigerant to the evaporator. A bleed passage bypasses the valve element to conduct refrigerant between the inlet and the outlet. The bleed passage is adapted to bleed refrigerant to the evaporator immediately after the compressor shuts off to prime the air conditioning system for a lower superheat when the compressor turns on, and the bleed path has a flow capacity substantially smaller than the flow capacity of the main valve aperture.

摘要： Improved actuators and valve control systems, and methods for controlling actuators and/or engine valves, are disclosed. In addition to the inherent capability of timing control, the ability to provide continuous valve lift or stroke control greatly improves engine achieve fuel economy, emission and performance. The power-off state of the actuator is at the minimum stroke, from which an easy start-up can be directly executed. The minimum stroke is also very beneficial to achieve efficient low load operation. Even with continuous lift variation, the present invention is able to keep the spring force neutral or zero point in the center of a stroke, thus maintaining an efficient scheme of energy conversion and recovery through the pendulum action. When in compression braking or other high engine cylinder air pressure working mode, the invention is able to supply necessary force to open the engine valve. By adding a substantial hydraulic force to coincide with the spring returning force at the beginning of each stroke, the system can help overcome the engine cylinder air pressure and compensate for frictional losses. The invention incorporates lash adjustment into all alternative preferred embodiments, and makes it possible to trigger and complete one engine valve stroke by just one, instead of two, switch actions of the actuation switch valve.
