Abstract: The present invention offers a switching device in which the intermediate part of shape-memory-alloy wire (17) is retained by actuator (9) connected to one end of link mechanism (4), and both ends of shape-memory-alloy wire (17) are fixedly retained by printed-circuit board (13). Both end parts of shape-memory-alloy wire (17) are fixed on printed-circuit board (13). This shape-memory-alloy wire (17) generates heat due to electric power supplied from the circuit, generates the shape-memory effect to deform. This causes actuator (9) to operate. On this occasion, because the electrically connected part is fixed, even for frequent repetitive operations, damage due to fatigue does not occur, thus improving reliability. In addition, the device can be simplified because it dispenses with a separate part such as a current-carrying wire, and not requiring a process such as an installation work for current-carrying wires offers low-cost switching devices.

Abstract: A micro-dimensioned shape memory alloy composite composed of a thin film of shape memory material and a substrate film. The substrate film does not require further processing and thus the composite can be used as a switch without removing any portion of the substrate on which the SMA is deposited. It is also shown that more effective switches can be manufactured by including as a component of the composite a stress compensating film.

Abstract: The temperature sensitive apparatus controls fluid flow from one line to others and includes an elongated wire of a shaped memory wire that changes in length with changes in temperature extended into a valve housing for pivotally moving valve mechanism in the valve housing against the action of a spring from a fluid flow blocking position to a position permitting fluid flow upon heating the wire. The wire is connected to the valve mechanism and extends through a tube, both of which extend exterior of the valve housing with the major portion of the length of the wire being exterior thereof. The tube extends into a connecting member housing that is attached to the exterior of the valve housing and contains mechanism surrounding the tube to heat the wire. The tube is substantially thermally insulated from the interior of the valve housing. The heating mechanism may include a generator for an electric alternating field to induce a heating current in the wire, or an A.C. voltage coil to have a magnetic field which is linked to a closed electric circuit in which the wire is disposed.
