Abstract: A device to actuate a switch. The switch has a switch toggle movable between a first position and a second position. The device includes a switch yoke movable between the first position and the second position adapted to engage the switch toggle and move therewith. The device also includes a first linkage connected to the switch yoke. The first linkage applies a force in response to an input signal to move the switch yoke from the first position to the second position. The first linkage includes a shape memory alloy. The device is configured to permit manual actuation of the switch toggle.

Abstract: A flexible VLSI film containing shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator elements and associated control and driver circuitry is wrapped around any bendable element such as a flexible, hollow tube, catheter tube or the like. The SMA actuator elements are thus spatially distributed around the circumference of the bendable element. The SMA actuator elements are selectively resistively heated with an electric current through associated decode and driver circuitry, thereby causing a portion of the film to contract. The radical distribution of the SMA actuator elements across the surface of the VLSI actuator film is such that when properly activated, a device sheathed with the VLSI film is capable of executing highly dexterous maneuvers in three-dimensional space, which was not heretofore possible. The actuator elements are self-guided in that control circuitry, decode circuitry and associated microprocessors, including position mapping means are fabricated in VLSI integrally with the SMA actuator elements. Alternatively, a microprocessor controller may be located at a remote location while communicating with associated driver circuitry on the actuator film.

Abstract: An electromechanical switching system includes a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion. The first conductive portion includes a conductive stationary end and a conductive floating end, connected by a shape memory alloy (SMA). When an input stimulus current is applied to the SMA, changes in the SMA urge motion of the conductive floating end of the first conductive portion toward the second conductive portion, which in turn causes a change in the state of the electromechanical switching system. The input stimulus current may be calculated to satisfy a given response time requirement.
