  • Patent number: 11923550
    Abstract: The preset disclosure provides a catalyst layer that has a small contact resistance with a gas diffusion layer and excellent gas diffusion properties. The catalyst layer for a fuel cell has a uniform thickness and includes fibrous conductive members and catalyst particles. The fibrous conductive members are inclined relative to a surface direction of the catalyst layer, and a lengthwise direction of the fibrous conductive members, on average, matches a first direction.

  • Patent number: 10081195
    Abstract: A liquid residual amount detection device (printing apparatus) of the invention includes an irradiation unit that performs irradiation of a detection light, and a reaction detection unit that detects a reaction by the detection light irradiated by the irradiation unit. An amount of liquid is detected based on an amount of the detection light that reaches the reaction detection unit.
