Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An assembly for and method of reinforcing interconnection between an active material wire actuator, such as a shape memory alloy wire, and structure, includes the generation and engagement of an enlarged formation affixed to or integrally formed with the actuator.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An active material actuator drivenly engaged to a structure, selectively producing a driving force, and operable to sustain an increased load, said actuator comprising: at least one active material wire presenting a maximum lateral dimension, and operable to undergo a reversible change in fundamental property when exposed to or occluded from a signal; an enlarged formation affixed to or integrally formed with the wire, and presenting a second lateral dimen…
