  • Patent number: 11973205
    Abstract: An energy storage system includes an energy storage component. It further includes heat generating electronics. It further includes a fluid circulator that transfers fluid between the energy storage component and the heat generating electronics. The circulator is controlled to alternatively transfer fluid from the battery to the heat generating electronics or from the heat generating electronics to the energy storage component based at least in part on a thermal state of the energy storage system.

  • Publication number: 20240079964
    Abstract: An inverter subsystem that includes a direct current (DC) bus, a DC terminal, and a power storage interface that is configured to be connected to power storage. The DC terminal is configured to be: (1) connected to the DC bus via an internally-facing side of the DC terminal and (2) connected to a load via an externally-facing side of the DC terminal. The load is powered via the DC terminal.

  • Patent number: 6487852
    Abstract: A method and system for determining whether a desired amount of hydrocarbon is actually injected into an engine exhaust to react with NOx in such engine exhaust. The reaction is facilitated with a catalyst downstream of the hydrocarbon injection. The method and system measure a first temperature difference across the catalyst during the reaction. The first temperature difference is compared with an expected temperature difference across the catalyst during the reaction. The difference in exotherm is used to adjust the injected HC quantity, and diagnose injector failures.
