Embodiment Construction
[0017] now refer to figure 1 , which shows a first embodiment of components of an internal combustion engine together with a device for performing an auxiliary valve movement. In particular, the first source of motion 110 and the second source of motion 120 are exclusively associated with a given cylinder, shown schematically by box 102 . As is known in the art, sources of motion 110, 120 may take many different forms. For example, where an internal combustion engine employs one or more overhead camshafts, the source of motion may comprise the cam. Alternatively, for those engines employing overhead valve implementations, the source of motion may include a pushrod that engages a follower rod (follower or lifter) that is in direct contact with a cam located in the engine block. pole). Regardless, to the extent that the motion sources 110, 120 provide motion only to the valves of a given cylinder, the motion sources 110, 120 are associated exclusively with that cylinder. Eac...
