Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a jar and lid combination with a jar body and a threadably-attachable jar lid, where the jar lid has a translucent window. Certain embodiments provide a structure for the windowed jar lid and jar body, so that the jar can contain fine powder without leakage, and without the need for a separate sealing layer adhered to the rim of the jar prior to securing the lid to the jar. Other embodiments relate to structures and methods for use by which a logo can be printed on the jar lid window, and then mechanically secured to the jar body, such that the logo is correctly aligned with the printed information on the front of the jar.

Abstract: An electronic cigarette includes an atomizer and a battery pack. A pluggable connecting means is provided between the atomizer and the battery pack. The pluggable connecting means is designed as an elastic snap connection or a detachable clip means so that the atomizer and the battery pack can be connected together pluggably to prevent the threaded connection.

Abstract: A method for strengthening an extruded catalyst honeycomb filter body, including: contacting an extruded catalyst honeycomb filter body and a siliceous formulation including at least one siliceous source comprising a silicone emulsion, a silica sol, or a combination thereof; drying the contacted filter body; and firing the dried contacted filter body to provide the filter body. Also disclosed are zeolite-based honeycomb filter articles, including a matrix of walls of: a primary phase material homogeneously distributed throughout the walls, as defined herein.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for determining the concentration of an analyte gas in a gas stream with a sensor are described. The analyte gas sensor may include a mass-sensitive resonator and a diffusion barrier. The mass-sensitive resonator may be coated with an absorptive material which is reactive with an analyte gas, such as NOx. The diffusion barrier may be positioned to limit a gas flow with the analyte gas towards the absorptive material, and a ratio of the diffusion time of the gas flow through the diffusion barrier to the reaction time of the analyte gas with the absorptive material may be from about 0.1 to about 100.

Abstract: Honeycomb catalyst structures and methods of using them, where the structures have honeycomb channel walls of selective catalytic reduction catalyst, the channel walls occupy at least 20% of the volume of the structure, the structure exhibits a pressure drop for flowing air not exceeding about 110 Pa at a space velocity of 20,000 hr?1, and the channel walls are of a thickness insuring high degree of catalyst utilization and NOx conversion efficiency.

Abstract: A particulate filter is provided having a filter body with at least one porous wall, and a porous coating on the wall, the coating having a median pore diameter less than 20 microns and a coating pore size deviation of less than 3 times the coating median pore diameter, and the coating having an average thickness of less than 50 microns. A method of manufacturing a particulate filter is also disclosed which includes providing a filter body with at least one porous wall, and depositing particles onto the wall, the particles having a mean particle diameter of less than about 30 microns.
