Valve overlap occurs in a four-stroke engine at the end of the Exhaust stroke and at the beginning of the Induction stroke; and is when both the exhaust and inlet valves are open at the same time.
At the end of the Exhaust stroke, the Exhaust valve is closing and the Inlet valve is starting to open in preparation for the induction of fuel and air into the cylinder.
It is common knowledge that in vehicles that cannot alter the valve timing, the Inlet valve opens approx 6 degrees before top-dead-centre and the Exhaust valve closes at 9 degrees after top-dead-centre

Valve overlap is the period of time during an engine's operation when both the intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time. This allows for the possibility of overlap in their opening and closing events, helping to optimize engine performance by improving cylinder filling and scavenging of exhaust gases.
Overlap repulsion in physics refers to the phenomenon where two objects or particles cannot occupy the same space at the same time due to the repulsive forces between them. This leads to an increase in the potential energy of the system as the objects or particles are pushed apart to prevent overlap. Overlap repulsion plays a significant role in various physical systems such as atomic and molecular interactions.
When red and cyan light overlap, they produce white light due to their complementary colors combining.
To overlap two photos, you can use photo editing software like Photoshop or GIMP. Simply open both photos in the software, place one image on top of the other, adjust the size and position to create the desired overlap effect, and then save the final image.
When the crests of one wave overlap the troughs of another wave, they are said to be in destructive interference. This results in the waves partially or completely canceling each other out, leading to a decrease in amplitude.
Trading area overlap refers to the geographic regions where two or more businesses operate and compete for the same customer base. It can lead to intense competition and challenges in market share acquisition. Understanding trading area overlap is essential for businesses to strategize effectively and differentiate themselves in saturated markets.
