Camless is a massive pain in the ass. First, they pretty much need to be a desmodromic design (powered opening and closing) for ideal control of the valve timing, opening curve, &c. Second, a solenoid/solenoid design has to constantly consume power to hold the valve open or shut. Compared to a conventional DOHC the solenoid or valve blocks make the engine even larger for the same displacement, and the DOHC is already substantially larger than the OHV engine for the same displacement. The only one I know of that is worthy of note uses a solenoid actuated complex hydraulic circuit (so now you need constant hydraulic power as well) to avoid constant electrical consumption through a clever valve arrangement that moves the valve under hydraulic pressure, which makes for a bulkier and more complex unit than solenoids or DOHC or OHV. It’s really only suited for high speed diesel engines (what trucks have) as a gas engine currently spins far too fast for it to be reasonable. At the moment low speed diesel engines are camless, using hydraulic exhaust valves and the two stroke diesel cycle. You’re almost better off putting more research into the wankel engine to help the fuel consumption (it already does an amazing job of power output for the size) to avoid cams, timing belts or chains or gears and to simplify the engine. That’s probably why places looking into small range extenders for electric cars or hybrid cars are looking into the wankel to a notable degree.

The attacks on treatment centers greatly hinder the ability to contain the virus, as people flee the scene out of fear. Congo’s health ministry warned that a "significant upsurge" in new cases could follow, the AP reports.

“When you are home and you are up, you want to finish the game off. By not scoring the second goal, and us not allowing them to score the second goal, [that] kept us in the game. That allowed us then to make some attacking substitutions. Putting Kenny [Saief] was an attacking substitution, putting Greg [Garza] on is a very attacking substitution because he is an attack-minded full back. Obviously, we had to get Kekuta [Manneh] off because he was injured, but Darren [Mattocks] went on and did the job too. By virtue of staying in it as long as we did, we allowed ourselves to have that chance and they guys took it right at the end of the game.”

You’ll often find that each automobile brand has its own pattern of specific part failures. For example, piston rings have been known to cause excess oil consumption in Subaru 2013 and 2014 models. Your vehicle’s known problems could cost you hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars per year. 

Another limiting issue is the power consumption to servo the valves at very high accelerations. Specifically, it can take more energy to flap the valves than you gain by doing so.

Speaking of compliance, if you use the Milwaukee SDS-Plus Dust Trap Drilling Shroud without a vacuum, it’s objective data compliant. If you attach a compliant dust extractor, it’s Table 1 compliant. Simply pop the plug in if you’re not using a vac.

Michigan would have gotten that fourth spot, but the Wolverines fell apart in the second half at Michigan State in a 75-63 loss.  The Spartans earned a share of the Big Ten title and the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament.  Purdue also got a share of the title, its league-leading 24th overall, with a 70-57 win at Northwestern. The Spartans jumped up to a 2-seed, knocking the Wolverines down to a 3.  What a difference a game makes.

The star wide receiver is bound for the Browns to be a target for quarterback Baker Mayfield. The Browns agreed to acquire Beckham in a blockbuster trade, two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday night.

Along with the quickshifter, the 790 Duke receives an Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) and a raft of rider aids not typically seen on a middleweight. First, Motor Traction Control (MTC), KTM’s version of traction control, considers the bike’s lean angle when dialing back rear wheel spin via the throttle bodies’ butterfly valves. The Motor Slip Regulation uses the throttle valves in a similar fashion to reduce the back torque caused by abrupt throttle closure or downshifts. Cornering ABS helps the rider to manage braking inputs while leaned over in a curve, giving the rider the maximum traction available without crossing over the line to a slide. Finally, given the style of the 790 Duke, the Supermoto ABS mode should come as no surprise, and it allows for the rear wheel to be locked while still employing the protection of ABS on the front.

The simple solution would be to go with a camless engine. This would mean eliminating the camshaft, timing belt, and most of the associated hardware. Solenoids or hydraulic actuators open and close the valves in an infinitely variable number of ways. Valves can even be held open indefinitely, effectively shutting down a cylinder when max power isn’t necessary.

Telugu poet Varavara Rao and activists Vernon Gonsalves and Arun Ferreira were taken to Pune late last night and are likely to be produced in a court later in the day, a senior police official in Pune said.
