  • Patent number: 8960074
    Abstract: A pair of penetrating holes are formed along a longitudinal direction in the interior of a cylinder body that constitutes a fluid pressure cylinder. One end of the pair of penetrating holes is sealed by a pair of caps formed in plate-like shapes. The caps, for example, are formed by press molding a plate body made up from a metal material such as aluminum or the like. Outer edge portions of the caps include bent portions, which are inclined at a predetermined angle in a radial outward direction. In addition, the caps are installed by means of the bent portions biting into inner circumferential surfaces of the penetrating holes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5336632
    Abstract: A lower electrode of a capacitor is manufactured simultaneously with an electrode such as a collector electrode and a base electrode of a bipolar transistor, and an upper electrode of the capacitor is manufactured simultaneously with another electrode such as an emitter electrode of the bipolar transistor. A dielectric layer between the lower and upper electrodes is manufactured simultaneously with other insulating layers of the bipolar transistor.
