  • Publication number: 20240153704
    Abstract: A capacitor including a lower layer electrode, a dielectric film, and an upper layer electrode sequentially laminated on a partial area of an upper surface serving as one surface of a substrate formed from a compound semiconductor from a side closest to the substrate is disposed. A coating formed from an insulating metal oxide or a silicon oxide is disposed on or above the dielectric film. When the upper surface is viewed in a plan, the coating extends throughout an edge of the lower layer electrode from an area inside the edge of the lower layer electrode to an area outside the edge.

  • Patent number: 11614145
    Abstract: A gear device includes a housing, a cover, and a positioning portion. The cover includes a first bearing that receives a first shaft and a second bearing that receives a second shaft. The positioning portion includes a projection that projects from one of the housing or the cover parallel to the first shaft or the second shaft and a fitting hole that is formed in the other one of the housing or the cover to receive the projection. The projection has a length that is set so that when coupling the cover to the housing, in a state in which the first shaft is inserted through the first bearing, the projection enters the fitting hole before the distal end of the second shaft enters the second bearing.

  • Patent number: 9889810
    Abstract: A utility vehicle includes a chassis, and a ROPS provided on the chassis. The ROPS surrounds a cabin space of the vehicle. A center of gravity of the vehicle is located at a position of ? or lower of the vehicle height, and an outline of the ROPS is formed in a curved shape when seen in the right and left direction or in the front and rear direction of the vehicle. Since the outline of the ROPS is formed in a curved shape, in the case of rollover of a vehicle body, the ROPS can easily roll on the ground surface. The combination of the configuration of the ROPS and the gravitational force exerted on the low position of the center of gravity, which is ? or lower of the vehicle height, the vehicle body can be easily set up from the rolled over situation.
