- Abstract
- [ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH] Silicone gum, which expands when heated, was placed in a tube containing a microswitch on one end and then sealed. When heated, the silicon gum expanded and triggered the microswitch. Although there were some insufficiencies concerning operation time, these could be solved through adjustments in thickness and size of the silicon gum and tube material.
