Looks very interesting and clever.
Get rid of the camshaft altogether saving weight and then also have the ability to shut down individual valves without any issues associated with a camshaft.

The possibilities for this are enormous- it makes you realise how much engines are restricted by the shape of the cam lobes and lack of valve timing control.
One possible downside is the increased possibility of piston-valve collisions if things somehow don't go to plan, but there must be a good work-around for this somewhere.
