    摘要: A drive cam follower operatively connected to an engine valve and a free cam follower capable of becoming free relative to the engine valve are adjacently disposed and adapted to impart in mutually different modes of operation in response to said engine valve rotation of a cam shaft. A connection change-over mechanism is provided between the cam followers and is capable of changing-over the interconnection and disconnection thereof, and resilient biasing means is provided between the free cam follower and the engine body for resiliently urging the free cam follower toward the cam shaft. The resilient biasing means comprises an urging piston slidably received in the engine body for abutment against the free cam follower, and a spring arrangement interposed between the urging piston and the engine body to resiliently bias the urging piston in a direction to abut against the free cam follower. The spring arrangement may comprise series-related springs having different spring constant with one of the springs having a non-linear load characteristic. A vent opening and a lubrication arrangement are provided to facilitate operation of the piston. The urging piston is provided, at its end closer to the free cam follower, with an abutment formed with a smaller diameter to abut against the free cam follower. This facilitates assembly of the resilient biasing means to the engine body, and makes it possible to dispose the resilient biasing means in proximity to a pivoting point of the free cam follower.

    摘要: A valve operating system for internal combustion engines comprises a free cam follower which is disposed between first and second drive cam followers operatively connected to engine valves and which is capable of becoming free relative to the engine valves, first and second guide holes respectively provided in the first and second drive cam followers with their axes corresponding to each other. The guide holes is opened to the free cam follower. A double open-ended guide hole is provided in the free cam follower in correspondence to the axes of the first and second guide holes. A first change-over pin is axially slidably received in the first guide hole and adapted to be fitted into the guide hole, and a second change-over pin is axially slidably received in said guide hole with one end thereof abutting against the first change-over pin, and is adapted to be fitted into said second guide hole. A restricting pin is axially slidably received in said second guide hole while being spring-biased toward said second change-over pin, with one end thereof abutting against the other end of said second change-over pin. This construction ensures that fitting of the first change-over pin into the guide hole as well as fitting of the second change-over pin into the second guide hole can be reliably performed.

    摘要: A method for producing D-lactic acid in high yield, and to provide a method for producing D-lactic acid with high selectivity, in which optical purity is high and a by-product organic acid is small. In one aspect, a microorganism, wherein activity of pyruvate formate-lyase (pfl) is inactivated or decreased, and further activity of Escherichia coli-derived NADH-dependent D-lactate dehydrogenase (ldhA) is enhanced, is cultured to efficiently produce D-lactic acid. With regard to a method for enhancing ldhA activity, by linking, on a genome, a gene encoding ldhA with a promoter of a gene which controls expression of a protein involved in a glycolytic pathway, a nucleic acid biosynthesis pathway or an amino acid biosynthesis pathway, suitable results are obtained compared to the method for enhancing expression of the gene using an expression vector. A microorganism in which a dld gene is substantially inactivated or decreased is cultured to produce high quality D-lactic acid with reduced concentration of pyruvic acid.

    摘要: A method for casting a rocker arm made of light alloy for use in an overhead cam shaft type valve operating mechanism of an internal combustion engine, which rocker arm includes a thick-walled bearing section to be fitted on a rocker arm shaft and is integrally provided with a wear-resistive piece having a protrusion on its rear surface and adapted to abut a cam. After molten metal has been injected under pressure into a metallic mold for the rocker arm, a secondary pressurizing force directed in the direction of an imaginary center axis of a rocker arm shaft is exerted by means of a pressurizing rod. In the metallic mold for the rocker arm, a sprue is provided close to the position where the wear-resistive piece is disposed with respect to the position where the bearing section is formed, and the direction of the sprue is directed towards the position where the wear-resistive place is disposed.

    摘要: A valve operating system in an internal combustion engine includes a cam shaft provided with a plurality of valve operating cams, a plurality of rocker arms positioned adjacent one another, an associative operation switch capable of being switched between a state in which it permits the rocker arms adjacent each other to be operated associatively with each other, and a state in which it releases the associative operation. An urging means for urging the free rocker arm of the plurality of rocker arms toward the valve operating cam corresponding to the free rocker arm, which becomes free relative to an engine valve, when the associative operation switch is brought into the associative operation releasing state. The free rocker arm is provided with first and second support walls spaced apart and opposed to each other, and a roller is provided in rolling contact with a valve operating cam corresponding to the free rocker arm, and is rollably supported on a support shaft mounted to extend between the support walls through a bearing. In such valve operating system, one of the support walls included in the free rocker arm is integrally provided with a receiving portion which contacts with the urging means. Therefore, the structure of the free rocker arm can be simplified in such a manner that the receiving portion is positioned to the side of the roller. In addition, an increase in size of the free rocker arm can be avoided, and the inertial weight is reduced. Thus, it is possible to conveniently accommodate the high-speed rotation of the internal combustion engine.
