The shapes for the electrodes seems to have been worse. I heard a talk about "microfluidic system production" last year, those are basically hydraulic systems on micrometer scale, mostly for medical diagnostic applications. There was some banter about available tools[1] and some of the ones mentioned immediately rang the "BVA" bell in my mind. It sounded to me like there are machines commercially available today which could spit out very repeatable BVA assemblies in one single operation. I have no idea if the result would actually work and be on frequency, or for that matter, where I can borrow one of those machines, but... The prices mentioned were not prohibitive in the context, you would break even well before a thousand units at the prices mentioned. Poul-Henning [1] Surprising to me is that modern dentists are highly kitted for CNC-ing very hard ceramic materials at high precision. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
