  • Clamp utilizing a shape memory alloy actuator to shutoff, squeeze off, plastic pipe and tubing used in the pressurized transmission of gas or fluid
    Patent number: 11015736
    Abstract: This present invention utilizes a shape memory alloy (SMA) to improve on prior art in the design of clamps used for shut off, squeeze off, of plastic pipe which transmits gas or fluid under pressure. More particularly, but not exclusively, the present invention incorporates SMAs as actuators to simplify and improve clamp design for squeeze off of plastic pipe that is used in the transmission of pressurized gas and fluid. This invention may be deployed and operated remotely by the user. This present invention relates specifically to the application of trained SMA tubes, rods, bars, and beams as actuators for clamping and squeeze off of plastic pipe and tubing used to transmit gas or fluid.

  • Method of recording test results of die on a wafer
    Patent number: 4928002
    Abstract: A method which eliminates ink marking of die on a wafer uses a printer to print information of the test results in a digitally formatted manner. This information, preferably on a piece of paper, is then transferred with the wafer to a die bonder which selects the good die to be further processed.
