Abstract: A variable valve mechanism includes a first cam unit including cams configured to drive an intake valve on a first side in a first cylinder; a first sliding mechanism configured to slide the first cam unit such that the first cam unit is switched between two positions to select any one of the cams; a second cam unit including cams configured to drive an intake valve on a second side in the first cylinder, cams configured to drive an intake valve on the first side in a second cylinder, and cams configured to drive an intake valve on the second side in the second cylinder; and a second sliding mechanism configured to slide the second cam unit such that the second cam unit is switched among three positions to select any one of the cams for each of the intake valves.

Abstract: A first swing arm of each cylinder is swung by a fixed cam of an intake camshaft, so as to operate a first intake valve according to a profile thereof. A second swing arm is swung by a second cam and its swing range is changed by a variable mechanism. Hereby, a lift amount of a second intake valve changes continuously. The second cam is selected from a plurality of cams on a cam piece provided around the intake camshaft.

Abstract: A variable valve mechanism includes a cam shaft, a cam unit, a guide portion and a shift pin. The guide portion includes a guide plate provided on an outer periphery of a cam unit, a first stopper and a second stopper. The guide plate is pivotally supported at a first part such that a second part of the guide plate is inclined toward a first side or a second side. The first and second stoppers abut with the second part from the first side and the second side, respectively, so as to hold the second part at a first position and a second position, respectively. The first part includes two arms projecting toward the first side and the second side. The two arms are configured to swing the guide plate.

Abstract: In a variable valve mechanism, a guide groove includes guide portions provided on respective side surfaces of the guide groove in a width direction, the guide portions projecting so as to face each other; a cam unit is slid toward a first side by relatively moving a shift pin toward a second side with use of the guide portion on the first side, and the cam unit is slid toward the second side by relatively moving the shift pin toward the first side with use of the guide portion on the second side; the guide portion on the first side is provided in an immovable piece, and the guide portion on the second side is provided in a movable piece; the movable piece is displaceable between a first position and a second position: and a first urging member configured to urge the movable piece toward the first position is provided.

Abstract: In a method of measuring a radiation power generated from a DUT from an output of a measurement antenna, wherein the DUT is arranged in an ellipsoid enclosed space such that a radiation center of the radio wave is substantially coincided with the neighborhood of a first focal point. The radio wave radiated from the DUT and reflected from the wall surface is received by a receiving antenna arranged in the neighborhood a second focal point thereby to measure the total radiated power of the DUT from the output signal of the receiving antenna. One of the DUT and the receiving antenna is moved along the axis passing through the first and second focal points, and based on the measurement value maximizing the output signal power of the receiving antenna, calculating the total radiated power of the DUT.

Abstract: In a method for measuring a radiation power, an elliptical mirror is prepared so as to have a elliptical spherical space enclosed by a metal wall surface, the space having a rotating axis passing through two focal points. A device under test is placed in a position of one of the two focal points such that a center of radiation of a radio wave substantially coincides with the focal point, and a receiving antenna is placed in an position of an other one of the two focal points. The device under test is caused to radiate a radio wave and the radiated radio wave is reflected at the wall surface to allow the receiving antenna to receive the radio wave. Then, total radiation power of the radio wave is measured at a measurement end of the receiving antenna in accordance with an output signal from the receiving antenna.
