Abstract: The technology disclosed herein provides a particulate filter that can appropriately avoid PM from passing toward the outlet cell and can exhibit an excellent PM capturing performance. The particulate filter 1 disclosed herein includes: an outercoat layer 20 provided on an inlet surface 16a of a partition 16 of a base material 10. The outercoat layer 20 at least includes: a lower layer 22 provided on the inlet surface 16a of the partition 16; and an upper layer 24 provided to cover the lower layer 22. The mean particle diameter of granules contained in the upper layer 24 is higher than the mean particle diameter of granules contained in the lower layer. The mean particle diameter of the granules in the lower layer 22 is from 0.4 ?m to 2.0 ?m inclusive, and the mean particle diameter of the granules in the upper layer 24 is from 2.0 ?m to 7.0 ?m inclusive.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a wall-flow type particulate filter in which pressure loss is suppressed despite a large formation region of a catalyst layer is provided. The particulate filter disclosed herein includes a wall-flow type base material and a catalyst layer formed on the base material. The base material includes an inlet side cell whose only end part on an exhaust gas entry side is open, an outlet side cell whose only end part on an exhaust gas exit side is open, and a partition wall that sections between the inlet side cell and the outlet side cell and includes a plurality of pores communicating between the inlet side cell and the outlet side cell. A first catalyst layer is formed on a surface of the partition wall that is in contact with the inlet side cell. The first catalyst layer is provided in a region over 80% of a total length of the base material from an end part of the base material on the exhaust gas entry side toward an end part thereof on the exhaust gas exit side.

Abstract: A back surface member placed on the back surface of a seat pad, which is a seat's cushioning material. The back surface member is formed into a three-dimensional shape by covering a plurality of pieces on a mold having a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the shape of the back surface of the seat pad, and connecting the edge of pieces by adhesive or welding.

Abstract: This product management method manages, by a computer, a membrane electrode assembly 21 and a fuel cell stack which are manufactured through a joining step S8 of joining electrode catalyst layers 25a, 26a to gas diffusion layers 25b, 26b that use carbon paper as a base material. The product management method is provided with: steps (S2, S5) of obtaining primary feature vector data by capturing an image at a specific site of each of a plurality of gas diffusion layers and storing the obtained primary feature vector data into a storage medium; and steps (S9, S11, S12) of comparing the feature vector data, which is obtained by capturing the image at the specific site of each of the gas diffusion layers that have undergone the steps (S2, S5), with a management database stored in the storage medium.

Abstract: It is provided that an electromagnetic wave shielding material that can effectively shield a low frequency magnetic field. An electromagnetic wave shielding material comprising: a layer A containing an inorganic fiber; and a layer B containing a metal fiber, wherein at least one of the layer A and the layer B contains a resin.

Abstract: A drain hose includes a hose main body into which a drain pipe is inserted and a circumferential rib formed on an outer peripheral surface of the hose main body to be away from an extremity of the hose main body and extend in a circumferential direction of the hose main body. The drain hose includes an axial rib formed on the outer peripheral surface of the hose main body to be positioned closer to the extremity of the hose main body than the circumferential rib and extend in an axial direction of the hose main body.
