1. A method of sequentially transitioning a thermally active shape memory device, comprising the steps of:

  • progressively translocating said thermally active shape memory device through a first controlled temperature zone;

    progressively translocating said thermally active shape memory device through an additional controlled temperature zone; and

    progressively thermally transitioning a geometric change in shape of said thermally active shape memory device as a result of thermal communication of said shape memory device with at least one of said first controlled temperature zone and said additional controlled temperature zone to produce a transitioned thermally active shape memory device.
