Title:
ACTIVE MATERIAL BASED SEAL ASSEMBLIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005089190
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Active seal assemblies employing active materials that can be controlled and remotely changed to alter the seal effectiveness, wherein the active seal assemblies actively change modulus properties such as stiffness, shape orientation, and the like. In this manner, in seal applications tailored for vehicles such as in a vehicle door application, door opening and closing efforts can be minimized yet seal effectiveness can be maximized.
