Abstract:
A porous catalyst support which may be used in a catalytic converter for treating automotive exhaust gases. The support comprises a substrate having a multichannel structure of generally thin walls and washcoat particles of colloidal particle size mainly or wholly within the pores of the walls so as to increase open frontal area and reduce back pressure. Substrate is either ceramic or metal. In a ceramic substrate with microcracks in the walls, the washcoat colloidal dispersion is free of soluble inorganic constituents and the particles do not fill the microcracks so as to prevent undesirable increase in thermal expansion and corresponding decrease in thermal shock resistance.
Abstract:
A sintered metal body is disclosed of composition consisting essentially of in weight percent about 5 to 40 Cr, about 2 to 30 Al, 0 to about 5 special metal, 0 to about 4 rare earth oxide additive, and the balance Fe group metal and unavoidable impurities, the composition including at least one component selected from component A and/or component B, component A being special metal, and component B being at least an effective amount of rare earth oxide additive, the special metal being a first special metal component, and optionally, a second special metal component when rare earth oxide additive is 0, the first special metal component consisting of at least one of: Y, lanthanides, Zr, Hf, Ti, Si, and B, and the second special metal component consisting of at least one of: alkaline earth metal, Cu, and Sn, and the special metal being a third special metal component when rare earth oxide additive is >0, the third special metal component consisting of at least one of Y, lanthanides, Zr, Hf, Ti, Si, alkaline earth metal, B, Cu, and Sn. The body is excellent in oxidation resistance at high temperatures, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance, and can be suitably used by itself as a carrier for catalysts, for exhaust gas purification, etc., or as a monolith catalyst comprising catalyst carrier and catalyst supported thereon, and as a heater or catalytic converter by providing electrodes on the body.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of making a photonic crystal using a combination of extruding and drawing techniques. The method is contemplated as being capable of producing both two and three dimensional crystals due to the maturity and diversity of extruding and drawing technology. The method allows the drawing of relatively large photonic crystals and is flexible enough to provide a periodic array of channels or filaments as the crystal features. After the extruding step or steps and before the step of heating and drawing, a plurality of elongated extruded bodies can be bundled and drawn as a unit.

Abstract:
A catalyst system for the oxidation of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and the reduction of nitrogen oxides is provided. The unique synergy of the catalyst system, a combination of molecular sieves and noble metals, provides a system that partially or entirely replaces the need for rhodium as a catalyst in three way catalyst systems.

Abstract:
This is a way to make a glass thing with anisotropic optical properties. A preform (10) with longitudinal passages is drawn thinner by a puller (18) so as to make a rod or fiber (16).
