An apparatus and methods of forming the apparatus include a film of transparent conductive titanium-doped indium oxide for use in a variety of configurations and systems. The fluid cylinders are controlled to raise and lower the ends of the contouring assembly independently of each other, thereby allowing the contouring assembly to create a three-dimensionally curved surface as it passes over an area to be contoured. The tab includes a first portion extending away from a second opposite side of the wall and a second portion spaced from and approximately parallel to the wall. An electrode shield encompasses the electrodes and, according to the invention, carries an electric current during operation, and is at a temperature 250 C. The outlet is arranged on the flow channel close to the turbine impeller. The structure further comprising a male connector having a contact edge, such that when positioned inside the indented female blow-molded connector, the contact edge releasably engages the at least one rib.
