  • Patent number: 11969712
    Abstract: A catalyst for purification of exhaust gas in which Pd-based nanoparticles and ceria nanoparticles are supported on a composite metal oxide support containing alumina, ceria, and zirconia, wherein a molar ratio (Ce/Pd) of Ce and Pd supported on the support is 1 to 8, a proximity ? between Pd and Ce is 0.15 to 0.50, wherein the proximity ? is determined, based on Pd and Ce distribution maps in an element mapping image of energy dispersive X-ray analysis, by the following formula (1): ? = ? j = 0 N - 1 ? ? i = 0 M - 1 ? ( ( I ? ( i , j ) - I ave ) ? ( T ? ( i , j ) - T ave ) ) ? j = 0 N - 1 ? ? i = 0 M - 1 ? ( I ? ( i , j ) - I ave ) 2 - ? j = 0 N - 1 ? ? i = 0 M - 1 ? ( T ? ( i , j ) - T ave ) 2 , ( 1 ) a Pd dispersity after a heat-resistance test at 1050° C. for 25 hours is 0.8% or more.

  • Patent number: 11050178
    Abstract: Embodiments implement rotation stoppage for a contact pin at a lower cost, in which the contact pin is disposed in a socket main body to establish electrical conduction between an IC package and a wiring board. The contact pin has a barrel, an upper contact member, a lower contact member, and a coil spring. The barrel has a flange that has rotation stoppers protruding in the horizontal direction. When the contact pin is disposed in a socket main body, the rotation stoppers of the flange are brought into contact with the socket main body, whereby the barrel is restrained from rotating relative to the socket main body.
