An apparatus for removing particulate matter is provided which is able to lower a temperature to burn particulate matter. The apparatus for removing particulate matter burns and removes the particulate matter emitted from an internal combustion engine, and comprises a perovskite-type complex oxide which is represented by the general formula ABO3 where B is a metal having a valence of +3 or more. The metal having a valence of +3 or more for B of the general formula comprises at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Fe, Ru, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag, and Au. The perovskite-type complex oxide comprises at least one complex oxide selected from the group consisting of LaMn(III)O3, LaSrMn(III)O3, and LaCo(III)O3. The perovskite-type complex oxide supports Pt or Pd.

Disclosed are a method for preventing shoplifting of an optional part without causing trouble to a retail store and inconvenience to a consumer and a method for enabling a storage device of the optional part to be customized as desired on the way of a distribution channel from a manufacturer to the consumer. On an ink cartridge 19, a cartridge EEPROM 21 having a coil 37 contactlessly accessible to the ink cartridge 19 is mounted; and a transparent window 45 through which the coil 37 of the cartridge EEPROM 21 can be seen is provided on a package 50 of the ink cartridge 19. A data writing device 67 including a memory interface 41 and a coil 43 for writing data into the cartridge EEPROM 21 is provided in each of retail stores 40a, 40b. . . . When the consumer purchases the ink cartridge 19, purchase data and the like are written into the cartridge EEPROM 21 through the transparent window 45 of the package 50 by electromagnetic induction between the coil 37 and the coil 43. A printer 5 reads out data from the cartridge EEPROM 21 when the ink cartridge 19 is fitted thereto, and when no purchase data exists, the printer is not allowed to operate for printing.
摘要:
In a reforming catalyst apparatus provided with a reforming catalyst for forming a hydrogen rich reformed gas by a reforming reaction of the fuel with water, the catalyst performance can be recovered by heating the catalyst within a temperature ranging from 500° C. to 800° C. while supplying said fuel and air to the catalyst. This method allows recovery of the catalyst performance without demounting the catalyst from the reforming catalyst apparatus and allows providing the reforming catalyst with a long service life.
摘要:
A catalyst for selective oxidation of carbon monoxide present in a hydrogen-containing gas is provided in which the catalyst comprises ruthenium supported on an alumina hydrate. This catalyst has a high selective oxidation activity to carbon monoxide. A carbon monoxide elimination method using this catalyst is also provided. In this method, to a gas containing at least hydrogen and carbon monoxide and being richer in the hydrogen than the carbon monoxide on the basis of volume, oxygen is added in an amount necessary for oxidizing at least part of carbon monoxide present in that gas, and thereafter the gas to which the oxygen has been added is brought into contact with the catalyst described above. Also provided is a solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell system that utilizes this method.
摘要:
A catalyst for selectively oxidizing carbon monoxide in a hydrogen-containing gas comprises an alumina hydrate carrier and at least platinum supported thereon. With an aluminum hydrate as a carrier, the catalyst is resistant to deactivation which would be caused by an oxygen-containing hydrocarbon in a hydrogen-rich gas. The method for selectively removing carbon monoxide comprises the steps of adding oxygen to a hydrogen-rich gas containing carbon monoxide, in an amount necessary to oxidize at least part of carbon monoxide, and bringing the resulting mixture into contact with the catalyst for selectively oxidizing carbon monoxide. The solid polymer electrolyte-type fuel cell system utilizes the above method for selectively removing carbon monoxide.
摘要:
An ink jet printing device includes: first storage means, provided on a printhead, for storing data of a type of the printhead, second storage means, provided on an ink cartridge, for storing data of a kind of ink contained in the ink cartridge and types of printheads compatible with the ink cartridge; and control means operating such that the control means judges whether or not an ink cartridge is compatible with a printhead on the basis of data read out of the first and second storage means, and causes the ink jet printing device to perform a printing operation when the ink cartridge is compatible with the printhead.

In an ink jet recording head, after a plate-shaped piezoelectric element is positioned and fixed onto a fixing plate, the piezoelectric element is sliced into a large number of vibrators and the leading ends of the vibrators are embracingly held in positioning holes 33 respectively formed in a top surface of a holding frame and are thus positioned in the surface direction thereof. Further, a cavity unit is positioned and fixed on the top surface of the holding frame.
