    摘要: A variable valve actuation system for providing discrete exhaust and intake valve lift profiles for various operating modes of an internal combustion engine. The variable valve actuation system includes exhaust and intake rocker assemblies, exhaust and intake hydraulic extension devices operatively coupling corresponding rocker assemblies with respective engine valves and exhaust and intake control valves for selectively supplying the pressurized hydraulic fluid to the extension devices so as to independently switch them between a pressurized condition and a depressurized condition. The engine further includes an exhaust brake provided to initiate a small lift of the exhaust valve during the engine braking operation while the exhaust extension device maintains the exhaust valve open during a compression stroke for bleeder-compression release braking. The exhaust and intake valves can be adjusted independently to provide combinations of valve lift modes.

    摘要: A variably timed internal combustion engine valve actuation system and method for opening valves in internal combustion engines. The system functions during both positive power and engine braking, to control the amount of "lost motion" between a valve and a means for opening the valve. In particular, the invention relates to a lost motion engine valve actuation system using a dedicated cam for effecting exhaust valve openings for compression release braking and exhaust gas recirculation ("EGR").

    摘要: The present invention provides a hydraulic actuator for operating an engine valve, which includes a means for controlling the seating velocity of the valve. The design allows for free, unrestricted movement of the actuator piston during opening of the engine valve, and an unrestricted return of the piston and valve until the valve is within a predetermined distance of the valve seat. Once within this predetermined range, the return velocity of the actuator piston and engine valve are limited by the rate at which a fluid may escape through a restriction. The restriction is calibrated to provide the desired maximum valve seating velocity. The invention also provides for automatic lash adjustment.

    摘要: In its broadest terms, the invention provides methods for the enhanced intracellular delivery of therapeutically active molecules to a target tumor cell. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises providing engineered cells that express a heterologous nucleic acid that encodes a connexin and that contain a pro-drug activating gene, and contacting target tumor cells in a solid tumor with engineered cells that form functional gap junctions with said target tumor cells, such that the therapeutic molecule passes through a gap junction to a target tumor cell. More particularly, the invention involves providing engineered non-tumorigenic cells that express a first heterologous nucleic acid that encodes a connexin and a second heterologous nucleic acid that encodes a pro-drug activating molecule that converts a nontoxic substrate to a toxic metabolite, then contacting tumor cells in a solid tumor with engineered cells that form functional gap junctions with said tumor cells, and then exposing the engineered and tumor cells to the nontoxic substrate, whereby the nontoxic substrate is converted to the toxic metabolite in cells that expresses the pro-drug activating molecule, and the toxic metabolite then passes through gap junctions to adjacent coupled tumor cells, thereby inhibiting the cell growth of the tumor cells that contain the toxic metabolite.

    摘要: A controlled exhaust brake for an engine comprises an exhaust restrictor located in an exhaust system downstream of an exhaust manifold of an engine. An actuator operably associated with the restrictor adjusts the restrictor. A pressure sensor operably associated with the exhaust manifold senses pressure in the exhaust manifold. A controller determines a set pressure in the exhaust manifold correlated with speed of the engine. The controller is in communication with the pressure sensor and the actuator, and causes adjustment of the restrictor in order to achieve and maintain the set pressure in the exhaust manifold.
