Abstract:
A rod holder configured to operate in a two-stage loading manner allows a rod to be easily received. A minimally invasive system for spinal surgical operation allows a rod to be more accurately and stably received to a pedicle screw inserted into a vertebra by using the rod holder, a rod guide and a rod guide holder. The rod holder may control a rod with three stages: a first loading stage for moving back and fixing a loading unit to fixedly grip the rod; a second loading stage for rotatably gripping the rod; and a rod mounting stage for separating the rod from the rod holder. The spine surgery system includes a pair of rod guides connected to upper ends of a pair of pedicle screws to form a moving path of the rod; a rod holder; and a rod guide holder for defining an insertion path.

An electro-hydraulic variable valve lift apparatus may includes a housing having a housing protruding portion is formed therewithin, a driving cam, a pump piston which forms a main chamber with the housing, reciprocates within the housing according to rotation of the driving cam, and forms hydraulic pressure within the main chamber, a pump piston elastic portion disposed for elastically supporting the pump piston, an oil pressure controller communicated with the main chamber in order to control hydraulic pressure within the main chamber, a hydraulic piston slidably disposed within the housing and connected with a valve, a multiple orifice unit slidably disposed within the hydraulic piston and forms an auxiliary chamber with the hydraulic piston, and the multiple orifice unit of which an orifice hole communicating the main chamber with the auxiliary chamber is formed thereto, and an orifice unit elastic portion disposed within the auxiliary chamber to elastically support the multiple orifice unit.
Abstract:
Power consumption for maintaining a target valve timing and noise in operation is reduced by a continuously variable valve timing apparatus including a camshaft holder fixed to a camshaft, a cam sprocket, a leadscrew screw-coupled with the camshaft holder and the cam sprocket and is movable so as to rotate the camshaft holder and the cam sprocket in opposite directions, and an operating unit operated by a motor and moves the leadscrew.
Abstract:
A continuously variable valve lift device may include a vibration link having one end eccentrically and rotatably coupled to a rotation shaft, a rocker arm having a middle portion pivotally coupled to the other end of the vibration link, an advance lever having one end coupled to the one end of the rocker arm to select advance or delay, a swivel cam link having one end pivotally coupled to the other end of the rocker arm, and a swivel cam, one end of which is pivotally coupled to the other end of the swivel cam link and the other end of which is pivotally coupled to a stationary shaft to open and close a valve.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A continuously variable valve lift device for a vehicle is provided, which includes a drive shaft rotating in association with a crank shaft and having a drive cam formed on an outer periphery thereof, a locker arm shaft provided apart from the drive shaft and having one end that supports a rocker arm rotating and rocking in association with the drive cam, output cams rotatably installed on the drive shaft to interlock with the other end of the rocker arm, and a variable drive part straightly moving the rocker arm shaft in a vertical direction of the rocker arm shaft to vary a valve lift. When a valve is shifted from the high-lift state to the low-lift state, a pumping loss is reduced to improve the fuel consumption ratio. Also, since an advance function is provided, an exhaust-side CVVT can be deleted to greatly reduce the manufacturing cost.
