Electromotive is the company that's currently working this!!! They're local 
and in one of their latest catalogs I spotted this system being tested on a 
VW motor. It's also been written up in Turbo magazine. It uses one of their 
FI boxes to run it, pretty neat!

I think it was Renault (?) that developed a pneumatically operated valve
system for their F1 engines some years back.  Don't know much about it or
how successful it was.
