摘要:
A ceramic having improved thermal shock resistance is produced by a method comprising firing a mixture comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a sulfate, nitrate, carbonate, oxide, hydroxide, acetate and oxalate of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, titanium oxide, rehydratable alumina, optionally silica and optionally a rare earth element compound at a temperature in the range of 1,000.degree. C. to 1,300.degree. C.
摘要:
A heat generator comprising a quartz tube containing an electric resistor and a catalyst coating layer comprising at least active alumina, silica and a platinum group metal, formed on the surface of the quartz tube can heat a material to be heated and the catalyst coating layer itself because of the catalyst coating layer being provided on the surface of the quartz tube. The catalyst coating layer surrounds the quartz tube and thus efficiently absorbs heat from the electric resistor by radiation and heat conductance, whereby the catalyst coating layer can be heated to the activation temperature within a short time. Furthermore, the heat generator also heats air around the heat generator to circulate the air as a convection air stream around the heat generator. When the convection air stream contacts the catalyst in the catalyst coating layer heated to higher than the activation temperature by heating of the heat generator, smelly components or noxious components in the air stream are oxidized and purified by the catalytic action before leaving the heat generator.

Catalysts of reduced cost, for purifying exhaust gases, having smaller thermal expansion coefficients than conventional catalysts, good mechanical strength and large specific surface area are provided at low temperatures. The composition composed of at least re-hydrable alumina, an alkali or alkaline earth metal titanate and fused silica is thermally processed at comparatively low temperatures so as to provide ceramic catalyst carriers which have superior properties.

A method for producing a honeycomb shaped ceramic having a predetermined shape made of a flat honeycomb molding formed from a composition containing a heat-resistant inorganic material is disclosed. This method comprises the steps of: forming a honeycomb molding from a composition containing heat-resistant inorganic materials, a binder which is gelled when coming in contact with hot water, and a plasticizer; providing the honeycomb molding with flexibility by immersing the honeycomb molding in hot water at a temperature high enough to gel the binder; and sintering the honeycomb molding.

摘要:
A burner has a combustion body supporting a platinum-group catalyst. An air-fuel mixture is supplied to the combustion body and combusted primarily on the upstream surface of the combustion body. A heat-transmissive body is disposed for discharging heat radiation from the upstream surface of the combustion body. The burner has a greater heat radiation efficiency and a wider range in which the amount of combustion is variable than conventional catalytic combustion burners.

There is provided a more expedient and positive desiccating means for an organic EL device. The invention relates to an organic EL device comprising 1) a laminate consisting of an opposed pair of electrodes and an organic light-emitting layer sandwiched between the electrodes, 2) a gas-tight housing accommodating the laminate and shielding off the external atmosphere and 3) a desiccating means disposed in isolation from the laminate within the gas-tight housing, characterized in that a preformed moisture-absorbing artifact as the desiccating means is fixedly secured to at least one part of the gas-tight housing and further to a method of manufacturing the same device.
摘要:
An antiviral composition comprising: a thiosulfate salt and at least one of thiosulfate complex salt of a metal and a porous particulate carrier; said metal being at least one selected from the group consisting of silver, copper and zinc: said salts being carried on said porous particulate carrier. It is applicable to a wide range of living environment such as medical instruments and appliances, hygienic implements as well as kitchen utensils, and also demonstrates an antibacterial activity in addition to the antiviral activity. The composition releases its salts slowly to the environment and the antiviral and antibacterial activities of said composition lasts for a long period of time. A method for preparing said composition as well as an antiviral disinfection method and a virucidal disinfection fluid using said composition are also disclosed.

摘要:
Apparatus for controlling humidity comprises a humidity sensing circuit including a humidity sensing element the electrostatic capacitance of which varies in accordance with the ambient relative humidity, and an air-conditioning system responsive to the sensed humidity. The humidity sensing element is charged and discharged repeatedly in accordance with a pulse train signal, and a period required for the voltage across the sensing element is measured during charging by a comparison between the voltage and a reference voltage. The pulse width or the reference voltage may be changed to select a desired reference humidity. A hysteresis characteristic may be given to render the operation of the circuit stable. When an SCR is controlled by the output signal of the humidity sensing circuit, the frequency of the pulse train signal is selected to be greater than four times the frequency of the voltage applied to the SCR.
