Patent number: 8501661Abstract: A catalyst for purifying exhaust gases includes a substrate, and a catalytic layer. The catalytic layer includes a lower catalytic layer, a first upper catalytic layer, and a second upper catalytic layer. The lower catalytic layer being loaded with Pd and/or Pt is formed on the substrate. The first upper catalytic layer being loaded with Pd covers an upstream side of the lower catalytic layer, and exhibits a concentration of loaded Pd that falls in a range of from 4.5 to 12% by mass when the entirety of the first upper catalytic layer is taken as 100% by mass. The second upper catalytic layer being loaded with Rh covers a downstream side of the lower catalytic layer.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2010Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Cataler CorporationInventors: Tomoaki Sunada, Hideaki Ueno, Yuki Aoki, Takeru Yoshida, Masahiro Nakahara, Masaaki Kawai, Singo Sakagami

Patent number: 7183236Abstract: An object of the present invention is to realize low pressure loss and high purification performance in a constitution in which a primary catalyst component and co-catalyst component are loaded onto a ceramic support that allows catalyst components to be loaded directly. According to the present invention, a primary catalyst component in the form of a catalyst precious metal and a co-catalyst component in the form of an oxygen occluding component are loaded on the surface of a honeycomb-shaped ceramic support, including the inner surfaces of pores. As a result of the large loaded amount of co-catalyst component entering inside the pores, the loaded amount of co-catalyst component on the cell wall surfaces is reduced, thereby making it possible to inhibit increases in pressure loss. In addition, since the primary catalyst component and co-catalyst component are in close proximity to each other, catalyst performance is improved.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2003Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Tomomi Hase, Tomohiko Nakanishi, Hideaki Ueno, Takatoshi Shinyoshi

Publication number: 20040082468Abstract: To provide a ceramic catalyst having both promoter activity and heat resistance at a small amount of promoter component and also having a low pressure drop and a low heat capacity, a noble metal as a catalyst component and at least two layers of promoter components having oxygen storage capacities are supported on a ceramic carrier which is prepared by replacing a part of component element of the ceramic material such as cordierite to enable to support a catalyst component directly thereon. The outermost layer consists of a promoter component having the highest heat resistance, and the innermost layer consists of a promoter component having the highest oxygen storage capacity, which improve heat resistance without increasing an amount of supported promoter component.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2003Publication date: April 29, 2004Applicants: DENSO CORPORATION, NIPPON SOKEN, INC.Inventors: Takumi Suzawa, Tomohiko Nakanishi, Hideaki Ueno, Hiromasa Suzuki

Patent number: 5223976Abstract: The vehicle mirror of the present invention is made such that a supporting member is arranged with a predetermined spacing in respect to the rear mirror member of an anti-halation mirror member having the anti-halation device such as liquid crystal or electrochromic element or the like between the front transparent member and the rear mirror member getting a reflection as the mirror, the piezo-electric vibrator generating vibration is fixed to the supporting member, a spacing between the rear mirror member and the supporting member is held by the spacer member and then the vibration of the piezo-electric vibrator is tansmitted to the front transparent member. The front transparent member is exposed from the opening of the holder and at the same time the circumferential edge of the anti-halation mirror member is held by the holding part. With such an arrangement above, a function of anti-halation and another function of removing water droplets can be provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1990Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Assignee: Aisin Seiki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naofumi Fujie, Koji Ito, Tomoaki Imaizumi, Kouetsu Hibino, Hideaki Ueno, Yasuhiro Otsuka
