    Stumbled on this today and thought it was interesting.

    split-cycle engine design divides the four strokes of the combustion cycle between two cylinders—one intake/compression cylinder and one power/exhaust cylinder—that are interconnected by a Crossover Passage™.

    Interesting........I am glad to see innovations are still being researched for our tried and true internal combustion engines.
