Latest Patents
Westerhof holds a patent for a "Method of mutually displacing at least two parts of an actuator." This invention involves a method for the mutual displacement of at least two parts of an actuator interconnected by a bridge. The bridge connects the two parts and extends parallel to a main surface. It is locally heated through and through with a temperature gradient that is minimized transverse to the main surface. The bridge is subsequently cooled down, resulting in a reduction of the length of the bridge between the parts due to plastic deformation. This process allows the parts to be displaced relative to one another in a direction parallel to the main surface. He has 1 patent to his name.
