ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor thermocouple unit is provided for improving heating and cooling of memory metal actuators. The semiconductor thermocouple unit is mounted adjacent to a memory metal actuator and has a heat sink connected thereto. A flexible thermally conductive element extends between the semiconductor thermocouple and the actuator and serves as a heat transfer medium during heating and cooling operations.
