I found this while brousing around the internet. It's supposed to be some form of "Smart" intake valve described below:

"Smart Valves, are called "smart" for good reason. They have the exceptional ability to track the cycle dynamics that define the appropriate valve timing across an endless array of throttle positions vs. load vs. speed vs. barometric pressures, etc., and to do so for each cylinder independently. This allows for seamless, instantaneous, on the fly, auto tuned variable valve timing.

Therefore, Smart Valves, not only create the effect of near instantaneous opening and closing, while lowering mechanical stress, an awesome trick in and of itself, but they do it at the right time every time, under all conditions, for each cylinder independently, all with a single replacement part. This sounds like something more akin to science fiction than reality, but there it is!"
