Abstract: The present invention relates to an online search method and device that accounts for relevance and difference, wherein the method comprises: determining an initial search result set according to a query request input by a user, and selecting a plurality of search results with the greatest degrees of difference from the initial search result set, as a final search result set. The specific process comprises: initially obtaining a plurality of candidate results according to the query request submitted by the user; using a semantic matrix to describe the attribute characteristics of documents corresponding to the candidate results; calculating similarities among the documents according to the attribute characteristics of the documents, and then clustering the candidate results into a plurality of cluster blocks; selecting a representative from each cluster block; and constructing the final search result set according to the selected representatives.

Abstract: An engine valve actuating apparatus includes a housing that contains an activation piston bore and an actuation piston bore. The activation piston is disposed in the activation piston bore and configured to actuate an engine valve. The actuation piston includes at least one side surface that is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the actuation piston bore so that the actuation piston can slide within the actuation piston bore. The actuation piston also has a guide mechanism, which guides the first and second links to move in a plane between the first position and the second position. At least a part of the guide mechanism is below at least a part of the at least one side surface of the actuation piston.
