An intake manifold assembly (10) includes a plenum (14) and a variable volume assembly (20). The variable volume assembly (20) includes a deformable member (22) and a biasing member (24). The biasing member (24) positions the deformable member (22) at a predetermined position in response to a vacuum pressure within the plenum (14) to define a volume within the deformable member (22) to change the operational characteristics of the intake manifold assembly (10).

An example induction system for an engine includes a plenum in fluid communication with multiple primary runners. A plenum valve is arranged between first and second chambers of the plenum, which are respectively in fluid communication with first and second sets of the primary runners. The plenum valve is configured to move between open and closed positions and regulate flow between the first and second chambers. A second runner is arranged upstream from and in fluid communication with the plenum. A runner valve is arranged in the secondary runner and configured to vary the amount of flow through the secondary runner. A common actuator is interconnected to both the plenum and runner valves and is configured to move both of the plenum and runner valves between desired positions to achieve desired valve configurations that tune the engine.

A power delivery system includes a group of removable power cells. Each power cell includes a water cooled heat sink, an air intake, and an air output. The system also includes a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger draws air from the cells, cools it, and recirculates the cooled air to the cells via each cell's air intake. The cell may be designed so that components that are not near the heat sink are cooled by air from the intake before that air reaches the heat sink.

An exhaust gas recirculation valve is provided. The exhaust gas recirculation valve has a base, a spring biasing the valve closed, and an actuator including a rotary motor and a linearly displaceable shaft that is coupled to the motor's rotor. The valve includes a valve member and valve seat disposed within a fluid conduit, and the spring is disposed between the actuator and the valve.

An exhaust gas recirculating valve includes a body, a closure member, a magnet, and a magneto-resistive sensor. The body defines a passage through which exhaust gas flows. The body includes a seat and the passage includes an aperture defined by the seat. The closure member is displaced between first and second configurations with respect to the seat. The first configuration sets at zero percent a percentage of exhaust gas that flows from an exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine to an intake manifold of the internal combustion engine, and the second configuration sets at 100 percent the percentage of exhaust gas that flows from the exhaust manifold of the internal combustion engine to the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine. The magnet moves congruently with the closure member, and the magneto-resistive sensor detects the movement of the magnet so as to determine the percentage of exhaust gas flow.

A permanent magnet D.C. electric motor includes a stator housing, permanent magnet structure, and an armature assembly. The armature assembly includes a shaft rotatably mounted in the stator housing, lamination structure, first and second coil windings associated with the lamination structure, a first commutator electrically connected with the first coil windings, and second commutator electrically connected with the second coil windings, each of the first and second commutators being generally cylindrical and having a plurality of commutator segments. Certain segments of the first commutator and certain segments of the second commutator are electrically connected. The motor also includes a brush card assembly including a high speed side having first brush structure associated with the first commutator, and a low speed side having a second brush structure associated with the second commutator, and switches for selectively connecting a D.C. voltage in such a way as to cause the armature assembly to rotate at a first speed and a second speed.

A brush tube structure 10 is provided for holding a brush 14 of a motor. The brush tube structure includes a base 15 and a plurality of fingers 12 extending from the base in a cantilevered manner and in direction of travel of the brush. The fingers are constructed and arranged to define a brush receiving space, such that when a brush is in the space, the fingers engage the brush.

A flow tube for an induction system with a turbo charger includes a first tube half and a second tube half with a noise attenuation plate positioned between the halves. The noise attenuation plate includes a plurality of holes having varying diameters and depths. The first tube half, the second tube half, and the noise attenuation plate are integrally formed as a single piece during an injection molding process. The noise attenuation plate is folding along a first living hinge to overlap one of the first or second tube halves. The other of the first or second tube halves is folded along a second living hinge to overlap the noise attenuation plate forming a flow tube that defines a flow path. The noise attenuation plate serves as a low pass filter that attenuates high frequencies while allowing lower frequencies through.

A purge valve is in fluid communication between a fuel vapor collection canister and an intake manifold of an internal combustion engine. The purge valve includes a body, a seat, a head, and a solenoid. The body defines a fuel vapor flow path between a first port is in fluid communication with the fuel vapor collection canister, and a second port is in fluid communication with the intake manifold. The seat defines an aperture through which the fluid flow passes in an open configuration of the purge valve. The head includes a permanent magnet, and is attracted to the seat and occludes the aperture in a closed configuration of the purge valve. The solenoid repels the head toward the open configuration when the solenoid is energized, and the head occludes the aperture due to the magnetic attraction with the seat when the solenoid is de-energized.

The disclosure allows a short runner valve or manifold tuning valve type manifold tuning device to retain sufficient force on the valve assembly in its closed state to eliminate any vibration or chatter from the system under normal engine operation. The disclosure also allows the device to be “pulsed” to the open or closed position; thus no electrical power is required to keep the system in one state. This is especially useful if activated times are extended due to certain engine operating conditions.
