  • Publication number: 20120323417
    Abstract: The present invention is able to perform an examination of a motor mounted on EV or HEV (HV) as well as charge and discharge of a battery mounted on EV or HEV (HV), by a single system. The system includes a dynamometer coupled to an output shaft of a motor, a power supply unit for supplying power to the motor or the dynamometer, a motor examination circuit for supplying the power of the power supply unit to the dynamometer and the motor, a battery charge and discharge circuit connected with a battery, for supplying the power of the power supply unit to the battery or discharging the power of the battery, and a circuit switching mechanism for switching between the motor examination circuit and the battery charge and discharge circuit.

  • Publication number: 20120160009
    Abstract: An exhaust gas analyzing system includes, on an upstream side of an analytical instrument, an exhaust gas introduction pipe of which one end is opened to an exhaust gas flow path through which exhaust gas from an engine flows and the other end is connected to the analytical instrument. A switching mechanism selectively switches between a sampling path that samples the exhaust gas from the exhaust gas introduction pipe to introduce the sampled exhaust gas into the analytical instrument and an air introduction path that introduces air into the analytical instrument. When the engine is operated, a path to the analytical instrument is switched to the sampling path by the switching mechanism. When the engine is stopped, the path is switched to the air introduction path by the switching mechanism.
