METHOD FOR PLACING BODY OF SHAPE MEMORY WITHIN TUBING

摘要

A body of shape memory material (2, 31) is placed within a cavity by means of a running device (1) which transports the body to a desired location within the cavity while the body of shape memory material is deformed to a condensed shape whereupon the body is heated to above its phase transition temperature so as to induce the body to revert to its original shape which is tailored to its application inside the cavity.
