  I recently recieved some information regarding "memory wires"
and their use to provide linear motion.These wires consist of strands
of an alloy of Nickel and Titanium refered to as either "Nitinol" or
"Flexinol".This substance contracts under electrical stimulation,much
like human neuro-muscular tissue.
  If anyone has any expirience with this material/technology,please e-mail 
me at the address below.
  Thanks.
