A catalyst body comprising a carrier and a catalyst layer containing an alkali metal and/or an alkaline earth metal, loaded on the carrier, which catalyst further contains a substance capable of reacting with the alkali metal and/or the alkaline earth metal, dominating over the reaction between the main components of the carrier and the alkali metal and/or the alkaline earth metal. With this catalyst body, the deterioration of the carrier by the alkali metal and/or the alkaline earth metal is pr...

There is provided a molded body having high fixing strength between a magnetic mold material and an external electrode. The molded body uses the magnetic mold material comprising at least 65 vol % of magnetic powder and up to 35 vol % of resin and the external electrode that has pits and projections on a surface that makes contact with the magnetic mold material. The external electrode and the magnetic mold material are integrally-molded such that at least a portion of the external electrode is ...

A camera which includes a camera body includes a main body and a mirror box fixed to the main body. The mirror box and the main body are made of a first material having a first thermal expansion coefficient and a second material having a second thermal expansion coefficient, respectively, the second thermal expansion coefficient being smaller than the first thermal expansion coefficient. The mirror box is fixed to the main body by at least two fixing devices symmetrically disposed with respect t...

A body board, or sports board, for recreational activities on snow or on water is disclosed. The board has a foam core, a binding layer laminated on top of one surface of the foam core, a printed graphics layer laminated on top of the binding layer and a clear protection layer laminated on top of the printed graphics layer. On the bottom surface of the board, the foam core can have a bottom foam layer applied thereto and a slick skin applied onto the outside of the bottom foam layer. The bottom ...

A throttle body for controlling a plurality of throttle valves in a multi-cylinder engine. The throttle valves of at least two of the cylinders are structurally connected to each other.

This invention aims at providing a catalyst body exhibiting a lower degradation of a catalyst due to thermal durability and capable of keeping higher catalyst performance for a long time. A catalyst component such as Pt is directly supported by Zr, W, etc, replacing elements inside a support such as Al of cordierite to provide a catalyst body without forming a coating layer. A combination of the catalyst component and the element inside the support is selected so that support strength is greater...

An electroluminescent component (1), in particular an LED chip, which has a high external efficiency in conjunction with a simple construction. The electroluminescent component (1) has a substrate (2); a plurality of radiation decoupling elements arranged at a distance next to one another on the substrate (2) and having an active layer stack (7) with an emission zone (8); and a contact element (9) on each radiation decoupling element (4). The contact elements (9), whose width (b') is dimensioned...

A transformer coil body providing an elongated creepage path between primary and secondary windings has at least one U-shaped channel member with a portion thereof projecting between the primary and secondary windings providing a surpentine creepage path, the minimum distance of which is at least as great as established creepage distance standards, the coil body being formed of a single piece.

A snow sled to be worn on the rider's body, the sled comprising forearm control runners for steering and braking, a chest plate, and thigh runners. Also provided is an adjustable apron between the chestplate and the thigh runners. Stability during operation is obtained by the rider assuming a prone position having a low center of gravity. Grooved ski edges on the sled's working surface increase sled stability and maneuverability.

A one-piece metal can body having a cylindrical side wall and an integral bottom wall. The bottom wall is disposed in a plane normal to the axis of the cylindrical side wall and is formed with one or more outwardly extending depressions which are arranged in circular configuration and are spaced radially inwardly from the peripheral edge of the bottom wall. Under unpressurized conditions the can body rests on the depressions, and when the can body is subjected to internal pressure, the bottom wa...
