ABSTRACT:
A peripheral docketing module using a shape memory alloy actuator wire includes a shape memory alloy actuator wire controllably connected to an energy source; and a pivoting device mounted inside a system frame member architecturally positioned for occupying inside the system frame member together with a device docketed within the system frame member. Upon application of energy to the shape memory alloy actuator wire, the shape memory alloy actuator wire contracts and exerts a pulling force on the pivoting device. The result is that the pivoting device pushes and ejects the docketed device seated inside the system frame member. The employment of a shape memory alloy actuator wire replaces the employments of a solenoid and electrical motor and allows for a more compact design of an electronic system.
