Abstract: Variability of the output of a pump is achieved in a power efficient manner by forcing fluid through a check valve while intermittently shunting the pump's output side to is input side. A diverter valve is employed for this purpose wherein a perforated valve cylinder is rotated within a perforated sleeve. By controlling the axial position of the valve cylinder, the amount of overlap of the two component's perforations is variable and thereby serves to control the delivered output.

Abstract: An eccentric ring porting system for hydraulic pumps of the type having a rotating cylinder block. The rotating cylinder block has a flat annular port face with a small cluster of regularly spaced cylinder ports in the face circularly arrayed about the axis of rotation of the cylinder block. A ring valve element has a ring seat surface held flush against the cylinder port face. The axis of the ring seat surface is eccentrically offset from the axis of rotation of the cylinder block, and the cylinder ports are uncovered inside of the inner edge of the ring seat surface for output porting of the pump and outside of the outer edge of the ring seat surface for inlet porting of the pump.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for injecting timed pulses of fuel of variable quantity into a high speed compression-ignition engine.
