Abstract: A catalyst support for induction heating includes: a honeycomb structure including a pillar shaped honeycomb structure portion having: an outer peripheral wall; and a partition wall disposed on an inner side of the outer peripheral wall, the partition wall defining a plurality of cells, each of the cells extending from an end face on an inlet side to an end face on an outlet side in a gas flow direction to form a flow path; a catalyst supported onto an interior of the partition wall; and at least one magnetic body provided within the honeycomb structure, wherein the catalyst support has a region A where the catalyst is not supported, at least on the end face side of the catalyst support on the inlet side in the gas flow direction, and wherein the magnetic body is arranged at least in the region A in the gas flow direction.

Abstract: An air leak detection device is applied to a thoracic cavity drainage system which, by using negative pressure generated by a vacuum source, aspirates gas in the thoracic cavity of a patient via a water seal chamber in which liquid is received. The pressure between the vacuum source and the water seal chamber is measured by a pressure sensor, and the occurrence of air bubbles created in the water seal chamber is detected on the basis of fluctuations of this pressure.
