An exhaust gas-purifying catalyst includes a support provided with one or more through-holes through which exhaust gas flows, and a catalytic layer supported by the support and containing an oxygen storage material. The exhaust gas-purifying catalyst includes a first section to which the exhaust gas is supplied, and a second section to which the exhaust gas having passed through the first section is supplied. The catalytic layer includes a layered structure of a first catalytic layer containing platinum and/or palladium and a second catalytic layer containing rhodium in the first catalytic section and further includes a third layer containing rhodium in the second section. The second section is smaller in oxygen storage material content per unit volumetric capacity than the first section.

The method of lap-welding of metal plates using a laser beam, wherein at least one of the metal plates is surface-treated, includes putting a metal plate on the other metal plate and forming a gap between the metal plates so that gas generated at the treated surface at the time weld can be dissipated therethrough. A surface-treated first work and a surface-treated second work are placed one on the other and clamped by means of a clamp with an opening of the clamp centered at the location on the first work to be welded. Then a laser beam is directed to the location to form a weld. The beam is then directed near the inner periphery of the opening to form a heated portion so that the heated portion deflects to form a gap through which the gas generated at the treated surface dissipates thereby reducing gas pressure.

A solar battery module (40) is constituted by a stack of: a plurality of solar battery strings (30) and bus sections (32) connected to both ends of each of the plurality of solar battery strings (30); flexible resin layers (33a through 33c); and a flexible resin film (34). The flexible resin layers (33a through 33c) and the flexible resin film (34) have, on a light receiving surface side of solar battery cells (20), holes through which the bus sections (32) are each partially exposed. The exposed parts of the bus sections (32) serve as a respective plurality of electrically-connecting means (32a). A solar battery array (41) is constituted by a plurality of solar battery modules (40). The plurality of solar battery modules (40) are electrically connected with each other via the plurality of electrically-connecting means (32a). This makes it possible to achieve a large-scale solar battery array (41) with high mechanical strength.

An exhaust gas purification catalyst includes: a lower catalyst layer that contains a ceria-zirconia mixed oxide having 50 to 70 mass % of CeO2 and 5 mass % or more of Pr2O3 and carries at least one of Pt and Pd; and an upper catalyst layer that contains at least zirconia and carries at least Rh, wherein the total amount of CeO2 per liter of the carrier base is 15 to 30 g. Because the amount of CeO2 is small, formation of H2S is suppressed and a high capability of adsorbing and releasing oxygen is brought out in spite of the small amount of CeO2.
摘要:
In a protection circuit connected, via lines including an inductance component, to a circuit to be protected, a first transistor is arranged on a path to ground from a connection point of the protection circuit and the line. A second transistor is arranged on a path to ground from a connection point of the circuit to be protected and the line, and extracts, from a connection point, a current corresponding to a current flowing in the first transistor. The first and the second transistors are NPN bipolar transistors having a base and an emitter are commonly connected. A resistor is connected between the base and the emitter of the first transistor, and a diode is connected between the base and a collector.
