Honda's i-VTEC combined VTEC cam switching with continuous VTC phasing, gaining flexibility and efficiency while softening ...

Quantum annealing (QA) is a cutting-edge algorithm that leverages the unique properties of quantum computing to tackle complex combinatorial optimization problems (a class of mathematical problems ...

The first continuously variable transmission fitted to an automobile actually has its roots in the late 19th century, though the technology has only become popular in the last two decades or so. While ...

We talk a lot about quantum computation and quantum key distribution here at Ars, but when we do this, we’re usually talking about a discrete logic system. That is, the quantum system uses a set of ...

What is a CVT and does it work? How CVTs (Continuously Variable Transmissions) work. An explanation of a pulley based CVT, and how this transmission does not have individual gears, rather an infinite ...

Set to debut in a new 1.6-liter 4-cylinder Smartstream turbo engine, Hyundai's new valve tech is able to continuously change the duration of valve openings to suit driving conditions, which Hyundai ...

The picture might not look like all that much, but the benefits CVVD brings will be very important as emissions regulations continue to strengthen. Variable valves are nothing new in the auto industry ...

Hyundai figured out continuously variable valve duration in a production vehicle (or at least one about to hit production). increase in performance of 4 percent with 5 percent better efficiency, along ...
