Abstract: A sensing system for measuring the angular displacement of a rotating shaft is disclosed. The sensing system comprises a rotor and a sensor assembly disposed within the rotor. The rotor is constructed and arranged to be securably mounted to the shaft such that the rotor rotates in concert with the shaft. Furthermore, the rotor defines a plurality of teeth extending radially inwardly towards a center of the shaft. The sensor assembly comprises a sensor housing and a magnet arrangement disposed within the housing. The magnet arrangement defines a magnetic flux path between the sensor assembly and the rotor. As a result, the magnet arrangement and the rotor cooperate to define a magnetic circuit. Changes in magnetic flux through the magnetic circuit can be measured to determine the angular displacement of the rotating shaft. Preferably, the sensing system of the present disclosure can be disposed within an existing housing with minimal effort, thereby, providing a reliable mechanism for precisely measuring the angular displacement of a rotating shaft.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes pressure relief devices that reduce pressure due to compression during startup, thereby decreasing the force needed to start the engine. A pressure relief valve mounts on top of the cylinder head and includes a duct to the combustion chamber leading to the valve and a second duct leading to the exhaust port so that gases in the combustion chamber may be vented through the exhaust system. A mechanical actuator having cables directed to each of the pressure relief valves for each of the cylinders manually actuates a first embodiment. A second embodiment includes a solenoid with wiring tied into a starter circuit that actuates the multiple valves from a single actuator.

Abstract: The present invention provides an internal combustion engine component, such as a cylinder head or tappet block, which is adaptable to a variety of pushrod positions and angles. A large pushrod aperture is formed in the engine component. The aperture is large enough to accommodate one or more pushrods passing therethrough at a variety of different angles and positions. A composite pushrod hole adapter plate is attached to the engine component over the aperture. The adapter plate has one or more pushrod holes machined therethrough at desired angles and positions. A counter bore is preferably formed around each pushrod hole to provide a seat for the end of a pushrod housing. A plurality of different adapter plates, having pushrod holes and counter bores formed therein at different angles and positions, may alternatively be attached to the engine component, thereby adapting the engine component for use in combination with various different engine designs. The component may be provided along with one or more adapter plates as a kit which may be assembled onto an internal combustion engine such that a pushrod passes coaxially through each pushrod hole in the adapter plate and an end of a pushrod housing is positioned in the counter bore around the pushrod hole to form a seal between the adapter plate and the pushrod housing.
