  • Publication number: 20240139716
    Abstract: Provided is an exhaust gas purification catalyst providing a catalyst performance and an OSC performance at the same time even at low temperature. The present disclosure relates to an exhaust gas purification catalyst including a substrate and a catalyst coating layer coated on the substrate. The catalyst coating layer includes a first catalyst coating layer containing Pd and/or Pt and a second catalyst coating layer containing Rh. The first catalyst coating layer is formed from an end portion in an upstream side with respect to an exhaust gas flow direction in the exhaust gas purification catalyst. The second catalyst coating layer includes an upstream coating layer and a downstream coating layer. Rh in the upstream coating layer and the downstream coating layer are supported on specific carrier particles. Further, a particle diameter of Rh is controlled.

  • Patent number: 11958145
    Abstract: A welding device for gas shielded arc welding includes: a portable welding robot mounted with a welding torch including a nozzle that guides jetting of shielding gas and a contact tip that performs energization on a consumable electrode; a feeding device that supplies the consumable electrode to the welding torch; a welding power source that supplies electric power to the consumable electrode via the contact tip; a gas supply source that supplies the shielding gas to be jetted from a nozzle end; and a control device that controls the portable welding robot. When the welding torch is seen from a side of jetting of the shielding gas, the contact tip is placed in an inside of an opening of the nozzle, the nozzle and the contact tip have a relatively movable structure, and an inner diameter of the nozzle end is within a range of 10-20 mm.

  • Publication number: 20240027921
    Abstract: Detection device detects relative position between overlapping first and second marks. The device includes illumination system configured to illuminate the first and second marks with unpolarized illumination light, detection system having image sensor and configured to form image on imaging surface of the image sensor from diffracted lights from the first and second marks. The first and second marks are configured to form, on the imaging surface, optical information representing the relative position in first or second direction. Light blocking body arranged on pupil surface of the detection system includes first light blocking portion crossing the optical axis of the detection system in direction conjugate to the first direction and second light blocking portion crossing the optical axis of the detection system in fourth direction conjugate to the second direction.

  • Publication number: 20240027926
    Abstract: Detection device detects relative position between first and second marks overlapping each other. The device includes illumination system configured to illuminate the first and second marks with illumination light, and detection system configured to form image on imaging surface of image sensor from diffracted lights from the first and the second marks configured to form, on the imaging surface, optical information representing the relative position in first or second direction. The illumination light passes through only optical axis of the illumination system on pupil surface of the illumination system. Light blocking body provided on pupil surface of the detection system includes first light blocking portion crossing optical axis of the detection system in direction conjugate to the first direction, and second light blocking portion crossing the optical axis of the detection system in direction conjugate to the second direction.
