1. Customers include makers of heating elements and bimetallic strips for thermostats.

2. A bimetallic strip bends when heated.

3. When the bimetallic strip cools down, it straightens again.

4. This paper introduces a method of non-touch detecting bimetallic strip based on digital image processing technology.

5. Classical lamination theory and bimetallic strip model were used to predict the thermal residual stresses in the bonded surfaces.

6. Determining the bimetallic strip state by comparing- the grayscale of the region near the center of it , and giving out the result.

7. Though the analysis and measurement of bimetallic strip contour, the geometric center coordinates can be given by computing the binary image pixels barycenter.

8. In some cases the point is simply to illustrate how something works, such as the effect of heat on a bimetallic strip.

9. In bimetallic thermometers a defined bending or change in the curvature of a bimetallic strip is brought about by a change in temperature.

10. When it heats up, one metal strip expands more than the other, forcing the bimetallic strip to bend.

10. try its best to gather and build good sentences.

11. Two metallic strips with different coefficients of thermal expansion are permanently joined together to form a bimetallic strip.

12. The working properties of the SMA actuator are compared with the bimetallic strip actuator which is another used type of thermostatic steam traps.
