For a combination of a solid polymer electrolyte membrane 107, catalytic layers 111 and 113 disposed on both sides of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane 107, gas diffusion layers 112 and 114 disposed outside the catalytic layers 111 and 113, and separators 103 and 104 disposed outside the gas diffusion layers 112 and 114, the catalytic layer 113 to be cathode-sided includes a carbon carrier 117 composed of carbon having a mean lattice plane spacing d002 of [002] planes calculated from an X-ray diffraction within a range of 0.343 nm to 0.358 nm, a crystallite size Lc within a range of 3 nm to 10 nm, and a specific surface area within a range of 200 m2/g to 300 m2/g, catalyst particlers 115 containing platinum supported on the carbon carrier 117, and an electrolyte 116. According to the invention, a polymer electrolyte fuel cell is allowed to prevent a corroding deterioration of carbon carriers in the cathode catalytic layer in start and stop of the fuel cell, allowing for an enhanced stable output over a long term.

A vibration wave driving apparatus includes a vibration member in which an electro-mechanical energy conversion element is fixed to an elastic member, and a contact member pressed against a sliding part provided in the vibration member, so as to be kept in contact therewith. The vibration wave driving apparatus is configured to supply alternating signals in a predetermined driving frequency band to the electro-mechanical energy conversion element, thereby generating a predetermined natural vibration mode in the elastic member to drive the contact member. In the apparatus, the natural vibration mode is generated in the elastic member, a natural frequency of another vibration mode different from the natural vibration mode is detected, and a stiffness of the support member is altered if the natural frequency of the other vibration mode detected is included in the driving frequency band.

A hollow golf club head enables to increase the bonding strength of an outer shell member made of metal and an outer shell member made of fiber reinforced plastic. The hollow golf club head comprises a hollow golf club having a head body of a hollow structure formed by bonding the metallic outer shell member and the fiber reinforced plastic outer shell member, wherein the fiber reinforced plastic outer shell member is bonded to both faces of the bonding portion of the metallic outer shell member.

An exhaust gas purifying catalyst includes a honeycomb substrate, and HC adsorbent layers containing zeolite and having a thickness ranging from 100 μm to 500 μm. Each of the HC adsorbent layers has an approximately circular surface on a cross section perpendicular to a direction where each of the cells of the honeycomb substrate is extended, and has circumferential-direction cracks extended in a circumferential direction and radial-direction cracks extended in a radial direction. The circumferential-direction cracks and the radical-direction cracks are unconnected to each other or are connected in an extent not to cause layer exfoliation in the HC adsorbent layers. A manufacturing method of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst is to coat slurry containing zeolite on the honeycomb substrate plural times, to dry or fire the coated slurry, and to form the HC adsorbent layers.

A two-port isolator comprising a thin ferrite plate, a permanent magnet for applying a static magnetic field to the thin ferrite plate, first and second central conductors disposed substantially in a center portion of the thin ferrite plate and crossing each other with electric insulation, first and second input-output terminals each connected to an end of each of the first and second central conductors, a common terminal connected to the other ends of the first and second central conductors, a first matching capacitor connected between the first input-output terminal and the common terminal, a second matching capacitor connected between the second input-output terminal and the common terminal, and a resistor connected between the first input-output terminal and the second input-output terminal, wherein the DC resistance of the resistor is set, such that with loss in a high-frequency signal entering into the first input-output terminal and exiting from the second input-output terminal defined as insertion loss, and with loss in a high-frequency signal entering into the second input-output terminal and exiting from the first input-output terminal defined as isolation loss, the insertion loss is smaller than the isolation, and that the isolation loss increases as a static magnetic field applied to the two-terminal isolator from outside increases.
摘要:
A drive unit 120 sets a saturation amount in a read period in which charges generated in pixels are read to vertical CCDs to be lower in a combination mode than in an individual mode (see Vsub in count values 22 to 24 in FIG. 6). As a result, excess charges in the pixels are drained to an n-type substrate 11. The drive unit 120 also sets al accumulation period to be shorter in combination mode than in individual mode (see Vsub in each mode in FIG. 6).

An exhaust gas purifying system for an automotive internal combustion engine includes a NOx treating catalyst for reducing NOx disposed in an exhaust gas passageway of a combustion device, to reduce NOx in presence of reducing components in exhaust gas. Additionally, a hydrogen enriching device is disposed upstream of said NOx treating catalyst with respect to flow of exhaust gas from the combustion device and arranged to increase a ratio of hydrogen to total reducing components in at least one of combustion gas and exhaust gas so as to meet relations represented by following formulae (1) and (2), when reduction of NOx is carried out by the NOx treating catalyst: [H2/TR]d>[H2/TR]u (1) [H2/TR]d≧0.3 (2) where [H2/TR]u is a ratio between a concentration [H2]u of hydrogen and a concentration [TR]u of total reducing components in at least one of exhaust gas in the exhaust gas passageway upstream of the hydrogen enriching device and combustion gas in a state before undergoing the hydrogen ratio increasing by said hydrogen enriching means; and [H2/TR]d is a ratio between a concentration [H2]d of hydrogen and a concentration [TR]d of total reducing components in exhaust gas in the exhaust gas passageway upstream of the NOx treating catalyst and downstream of the hydrogen enriching device.
