TL;DR: In this paper, an electrically heating catalytic apparatus that quickly heats catalyst to an activation temperature even when the engine is started at a low temperature below the catalyst activation temperature was presented.

TL;DR: An electrical heating type catalytic device having a metallic catalyst carrier constituted by layering metallic foils, surfaces of the metallic foil being coated by an insulation film, adjoining metallic foilers being joined conductively in only some regions of the catalytic carrier is described in this article.

TL;DR: In this article, a vessel is disposed in an exhaust manifold of an engine and opened only at one end, its opening directed toward exhaust ports, where the catalyst carrier is stored in the vessel.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to enhance the reliability of a metal carrier catalyst and to extend a life period to a large extent by generating sufficient pressure contact force between the layers of a spirally wound strip like material and connecting a center electrode and an outer cylinder by a support means and preventing the movement of the center electrode with respect to the outer cylinder.

TL;DR: In this article, an electrically heating catalytic apparatus that quickly heats catalyst to an activation temperature even when the engine is started at a low temperature below the catalyst activation temperature is presented. But, since the heat is locally generated, the heat capacity of the catalyst carrier is small to shorten a temperature increasing time.
