Abstract: An internal combustion engine system includes an engine with a plurality of pistons housed in respective ones of a plurality of cylinders. A valve train is provided for opening and closing intake and exhaust valves of the cylinders during nominal engine operations. The valve train is also configured for cylinder deactivation and to provide one or more selected lift profiles for opening and closing of the intake and/or exhaust valves.

Abstract: Variable counterweight apparatuses, systems and methods. The variable counterweight system includes at least one rotatable actuator, a first variable counterweight assembly, and a second variable counterweight assembly. The first variable counterweight assembly is rotatably coupled to the rotatable actuator to rotate about a first axis. The first variable counterweight assembly is configured to geometrically reconfigure so as to change a first variable counterweight assembly center of gravity position with respect to the first variable counterweight assembly. The second variable counterweight assembly is rotatably coupled to the rotatable actuator to rotate about a second axis. The second variable counterweight assembly is configured to geometrically reconfigure so as to change a second variable counterweight assembly center of gravity position with respect to the second variable counterweight assembly.

Abstract: A valve actuation system comprises a first arm having a first arm contact surface and operatively connected to a valve actuation motion. A second arm having a second arm contact surface is operatively connected to the at least one engine valve. A discrete lost motion device is provided that is controllable between a first, motion conveying state and a second, motion absorbing state. The discrete lost motion devices comprises a plunger contact surface and a housing contact surface. The housing contact surface is configured to engage one of the first or second arm contact surfaces, and the plunger contact surface is configured to engage another of the first and the second arm contact surfaces. The first and second arm contact surfaces, the housing contact surface and the first plunger contact surface are configured to support the discrete lost motion device between the first arm and the second arm.
