Patent CA-2660347-A1 (CA)
Title: Drive device for vehicle
Inventor: UCHIYAMA NAOKI
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2007-05-25
Abstract: A drive device for a vehicle, constructed from an engine, a generator/motor, a battery, and a power generation device. The engine produces drive force for the vehicle. The generator/motor is connected to the output shaft of the engine and also to a drive wheel. The power generation device generates electric power by using combustion exhaust gas of the engine, and the generated power is accumulated in the battery. When the output of the engine is below the output required to drive the vehicle, the generator/motor receives electric power from the battery and assists the output of the engine. When the vehicle is braked and when the output of the engine is above the output required to drive the vehicle, electric power is generated by the generator/motor and the generated power is charged in the battery.

Abstract: An oven wall three-dimensional profile data (701) representing concave and convex amounts on all over oven walls (14R, 14L) at a right side and left side of a coking chamber (11) is generated by using image signals obtained by a wall surface observation apparatus (200).                                                     A  resistance index "k" in which a resistance received by pushed coke (15) resulting from a rising gradient existing on the oven wall (14) is indexed is asked by using the oven wall three-dimensional profile data (701).                                                  It can be verified that there is a correlation between this resistance index "k" and a pushing load. Accordingly, it is possible to quantitatively evaluate a state of the oven wall (14) affecting on the pushing load.
