    Abstract: A heater may include: a conductive ceramic cylinder tube in which cell-arrays are concentrically arranged, each cell-array including cells which are arranged in a circumferential direction of the ceramic cylinder tube; an inner electrode electrically coupled to an inner wall portion of the ceramic cylinder tube; and an outer electrode electrically coupled to an outer wall portion of the ceramic cylinder tube. Non-linear portions are radially arranged in the ceramic cylinder tube, each non-linear portion extending in a radial direction of the ceramic cylinder tube while having a plurality of bends or curves between the inner wall portion and outer wall portion of the ceramic cylinder tube. The inner and outer electrodes are provided such that current flows radially at least via said non-linear portions between the inner and outer electrodes.

    Abstract: A composite structure comprising a substantially planar portion and a border arranged on the border of the substantially planar portion. A first linking zone is arranged at one end of the border along a first axis and a second linking zone is arranged at another end of the border along the first axis. The border further comprises a reinforcing zone connecting the first and second linking zones, in that the border has a profile transverse to the first axis that is substantially U-shaped opening on a side opposite the substantially planar portion and in that the border is reinforced by at least one rib substantially parallel to a second axis perpendicular to the first axis and included in the plane of the portion.

    Abstract: A heating member for a vehicle exhaust gas purification device includes an electrically conductive outer peripheral frame that has a geometric center and is symmetrical about an axis. An electrically conductive central support is centered on the geometric center, and a perforated heating grid is centered on the geometric center. The heating grid extends between the electrically conductive central support and the electrically conductive outer peripheral frame. The heating grid is formed of a plurality of strands connected by nodes, with the plurality of strands delimiting openings there between.
