  • Patent number: 11161098
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a catalyst comprising a carrier substrate of the length L extending between substrate ends a and b and two washcoat zones A and B, wherein washcoat zone A comprises a first platinum group metal and extends starting from substrate end a over a part of the length L, and washcoat zone B comprises the same components as washcoat zone A and in addition a second platinum group metal and extends from substrate end b over a part of the length L, wherein L=LA+LB, wherein LA is the length of washcoat zone A and LB is the length of substrate length B.

  • Patent number: 10183287
    Abstract: A method of coating a substrate includes distributing a first catalyst slurry having a first catalytic composition and a first initial viscosity within the substrate to form a first catalyst layer within the substrate; adjusting the viscosity of the first catalyst layer such that the first catalyst layer is made to have a first adjusted viscosity that is greater than the first initial viscosity of the first catalyst slurry; distributing a second catalyst slurry having a second catalytic composition and a second initial viscosity within the substrate to form a second catalyst layer within the substrate, the second initial viscosity being made to be less than the first adjusted viscosity; the second catalyst slurry being distributed within the substrate while the first catalyst layer is in a wet state such that the second catalyst layer is formed as a wet-on-wet coating that at least partially overlaps the first catalyst layer.

  • Patent number: 6135158
    Abstract: An inventive air duct includes a blow molded tubular body of a first material having at least one annular open end, the open end terminating at a radially outwardly extending lip. A cuff of a second material is molded to the main body such that at least a portion of the lip is embedded within the cuff. Before molding the cuff, a portion of the main body adjacent the open end is pre-formed to remove any seams created during blow molding and to provide improved dimensional stability. Thus, leak pathways are minimized. The improved dimensional stability in combination with the use of an outwardly extending lip, a portion of which is embedded within the cuff, helps promote a strong seal between the cuff and the main body.
