Abstract: A pillar shaped honeycomb structure, including: a porous partition wall that define a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells forming flow paths for a fluid, the plurality of cells extending from an inflow end face to an outflow end face; and an outer peripheral wall located at the outermost circumference. The plurality of cells include: a plurality of first cells; and a plurality of second cells having a lower cross-sectional area than that of the plurality of first cells. An interior of each of the second cells is filled with a material comprising a magnetic substance. Each of the second cells are arranged adjacent to at least one of the first cells.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to producing an electrically connected coated substrate. An example method comprises providing a coating on a surface of a substrate; and applying an electrically conductive material to the coating. The electrically conductive material is not heated above 500° C.

Abstract: A production stabilizing device and a method produce a multicomponent film containing metal components such as TiAlN having greatly different melting points at high material use efficiency and in a good film quality by using a single crucible (3) and converged plasma (7). For this end, electric power required to evaporate material (4) is first supplied and then electric power stepwise increased from the first electric power is repeatedly supplied until a required maximum electric power is reached. Alternatively, plasma control is performed for converging the plasma (7) into an initial area required to evaporate the material and subsequently plasma control is performed for successively and stepwise moving and expanding the plasma from the initial plasma area up to a maximum plasma area to gradually melt a non-melted portion (4b) of the material. The material is a sintered compact or a green compact (4).
