A control system for a coolant control valve unit, which includes a cam and a valve that opens and closes a coolant passage in conjunction with rotation of the cam, includes: a motor controlling the rotation of the cam; and a controller configured to correct a target valve opening degree of the valve using a correction value according to a degree of wear of the valve, to determine a target rotational angle of the cam using the target valve opening degree corrected by the correction value, and to control an operation of the motor according to the target rotational angle of the cam.

A control valve includes a valve body having a main valve passageway. A flow control assembly is positioned in the main valve passageway and includes a first control element, and a second control element rotatable relative to the first control element between a closed position, a first position, and a second position. In the closed position, the first and second control elements form a plug which prevents fluid flow through the main valve passageway. In the first position, the first and second control elements collectively define a first control passageway therethrough, and in the second position, the first and second control elements collectively define the first control passageway and a second control passageway therethrough.

A multi-port valve is provided. The multi-port valve includes a housing which defines an internal cavity. The housing further includes a plurality of ports. Each of the plurality of ports is in communication with the internal cavity. A valve member is rotatably disposed within the internal cavity. A seal member is also provided between the internal cavity and at least one of the ports. A check valve assembly is also provided in fluid communication with at least one of the ports to provide an additional checked flow therefrom or a checked flow therethrough. Temperature, pressure, and/or flow sensors may also be provided.

An evaporative emissions control system includes a first vent valve configured to selectively open and close a first vent, a second vent valve configured to selectively open and close a second vent, a fuel level sensor configured to sense a fuel level in the fuel tank, a pressure sensor configured to sense a pressure in the fuel tank, an accelerometer configured to measure an acceleration of the vehicle, and a controller configured to regulate operation of the first and second vent valves to provide pressure relief for the fuel tank. The controller is programmed to determine if a refueling event is occurring based one signals indicating the fuel level is increasing, the pressure in the fuel tank is increasing, and the vehicle is not moving, and open at least one of the first and second vent valves based on determining the refueling event is occurring.

A scenting device for scenting a vehicle interior may include at least one aromatic substance container holding a supply of an aromatic substance. The device may also include a feeding duct for feeding air to the at least one aromatic substance container and a discharge duct for discharging air enriched with the aromatic substance. The device may further include at least one scenting path for enriching air with the aromatic substance from the at least one aromatic substance container. The device may include a bypass duct branching off from the feeding duct and bypassing the at least one aromatic substance container. The device may also include a bypass valve and at least one container valve. The device may include a camshaft including a bypass cam configured to actuate the bypass valve and at least one container cam configured to actuate the at least one container valve.

In one embodiment, a thermal management module is disclosed that includes: a housing defining a plurality of ports and at least one camshaft opening, the housing defining at least one chamber; a camshaft extending through the at least one camshaft opening into the chamber, the camshaft including a plurality of cams; a plurality of seal assemblies each surrounding a respective port of the plurality of ports; and a plurality of stoppers each arranged with a respective port of the plurality of ports. In one aspect, at least one port of the plurality of ports includes a guidance finger adapted to guide a respective stopper of the plurality of stoppers. In another aspect, openings defined by at least two ports of the plurality of ports overlap in an axial direction of the openings.

A control system for a coolant control valve unit, which includes a cam and a valve that opens and closes a coolant passage in conjunction with rotation of the cam, includes: a motor controlling the rotation of the cam; and a controller configured to correct a target valve opening degree of the valve using a correction value according to a degree of wear of the valve, to determine a target rotational angle of the cam using the target valve opening degree corrected by the correction value, and to control an operation of the motor according to the target rotational angle of the cam.

The invention is based on a fluid distribution apparatus, in particular a water distribution apparatus, comprising a fluid chamber, at least one fluid inlet a plurality of fluid outlets and a distribution unit, including a plurality of valve elements for closing the fluid outlets and a camshaft supported to be rotatable about a rotary axis, having a plurality of cams for operating the valve elements.

It is suggested that the valve elements be formed as valve flaps and the cams of the camshaft are provided to lift the valve elements off the fluid outlets as a function of a rotary position of the camshaft.

The invention relates to a lubricant distributor, in particular a sectional distributor, for distributing lubricant to at least one lubrication point, comprising a distributor body having an inlet opening for lubricant which is fluidically connected to at least one outlet passage, which opens into an outlet opening of the distributor body, a rotary valve which is rotatably mounted in the distributor body and which is adjustable between an open position of the rotary valve, in which the outlet passage is open in order to allow lubricant to pass through to the outlet opening, and a closed position of the rotary valve, in which the outlet passage is closed, a drive, in particular an electromotive drive, which is coupled to a control gear, comprising a control gearwheel having at least one control toothing section engageable with a toothing of the rotary valve to move the rotary valve between the open position and the closed position. In addition, the invention relates to a method for distributing lubricant to at least one lubrication point.

Foot support systems include a fluid flow control system that facilitates movement of fluid into, out of, and/or within a sole structure and/or article of footwear, e.g., to change and/or control pressure in fluid filled bladder(s). The fluid flow control system includes: (a) a manifold body defining an internal chamber; (b) at least a first port in fluid communication with the internal chamber; (c) at least a first valve (including a first valve activator) controlling fluid flow through the first port; and (d) a movable cam at least partially within the internal chamber. Valve activator surface(s) on the cam interact with the valve activator(s) to selectively open and close valve(s) based on cam positioning.
