Titles differ between systems:

IPC: the cams, or the like, rotating at a higher speed than that corresponding to the valve cycle, e.g. operating four-stroke engine valves directly from crankshaft

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Valve-gear or valve arrangements, e.g. lift-valve gear > Valve drive > by means of cams, camshafts, cam discs, eccentrics, or the like > the cams, or the like, rotating at a higher speed than that corresponding to the valve cycle, e.g. operating four-stroke engine valves directly from crankshaft

CPC:

Valve-gear or valve arrangements, e.g. lift-valve gear (lift-valve and valve-seat assemblies per se F01L3/00; slide-valve gear F01L5/00; actuated non-mechanically F01L9/00; valve arrangements in working piston or piston rod F01L11/00; modifications of valve-gear to facilitate reversing, braking, starting, changing compression ratio, or other specific operations F01L13/00) > Valve drive (transmitting-gear between valve drive and valve F01L1/12) > by means of cams, camshafts, cam discs, eccentrics or the like (F01L1/10 takes precedence) > the cams, or the like, rotating at a higher speed than that corresponding to the valve cycle, e.g. operating fourstroke engine valves directly from crankshaft
