Abstract: A reactor includes a coil including wound portions; and a magnetic core that includes a set of core pieces that engage with each other and is arranged inside and outside of the wound portions. One core piece includes, at an end portion thereof, a recessed portion having a ring-shaped opening edge that is open toward the other core piece. The other core piece includes, at an end portion thereof, a protruding portion that is configured to be fit into the recessed portion. Both of the core pieces include, in the wound portions, ring-shaped contact portions that are provided along the opening edges and at which the core pieces come into surface contact with each other, and gap portions formed by non-contact regions in which the inner peripheral surfaces forming the recessed portions and the outer peripheral surfaces of the protruding portions are not in contact with each other.
Abstract: An electrical junction box includes a circuit assembly including a circuit board and a conductive plate, a engaging component (terminal block), a frame including an installation portion to which the engaging component is installed. A first engaging portion (first bus bar) is formed on one end side of the circuit assembly, and a second engaging portion (second bus bar) is formed on another end side of the circuit assembly. The frame includes a first engaged portion (receiving portion) that is engaged with the first engaging portion and receives the one end side of the circuit assembly. The engaging component includes a second engaged portion (auxiliary receiving portion) that is engaged with the second engaging portion and receives the other end side of the circuit assembly.
Abstract: A composite oxide for exhaust gas purification catalysts, which comprises Ce, Bi, R and oxygen and satisfies 0<x?0.4 and 0<y<1.0 when the molar ratio of Ce, Bi and R of the oxide is represented as (1?x?y), x and Y respectively. The composite oxide has an X-ray diffraction peak corresponding to that of a fluorite structure. In the composite oxide, R contains one or two of Pr and Tb. The exhaust gas purification catalyst is favorable for a PM combustion catalyst.
