The SMA actuator includes an actuator housing, an SMA wire, and an actuator lever arm. The actuator lever arm is configured to pivotably rotate or linearly translate with respect to the actuator housing upon activation of the SMA wire. A connecting link is coupled to the actuator lever arm. The connecting link is configured to translate linearly along a connecting link axis when the actuator lever arm pivotably rotates or linearly translates. A striker is coupled to the connecting link and configured to rotate about a striker axis to engage a closing surface.

Abrégé
An exhaust system includes an exhaust duct having an internal surface defining an exhaust gas passage extending along an axis. At least one sensor opening is in the exhaust duct and is configured to receive an exhaust gas sensor. A wall is positioned within the exhaust gas passage to extend at least partially around the at least one sensor opening. The wall has an inner wall surface defining an internal volume. An inlet pipe ring is in fluid communication with the internal volume, and the inlet pipe ring extends from a first end open to the internal volume to a second end this is also in fluid communication with the internal volume. The inlet pipe ring includes a plurality of inlet apertures.
