A laminate type dielectric device is formed by alternately laminating dielectric ceramic layers and electrode layers and integrally baking the laminate product. A flexible rod is fixedly attached to the base member and slideably disposed within a channel defined by the guide member. A second bus segment which has no devices connected to it. The adhesive bonding strength between the two layers may, for example, be reduced by applying an adhesion-counteracting agent on one or both of the layers within the linear crease line regions, or by applying an adhesion-promoting agent in the regions outside these crease line regions. A multi-system regulator manages the domain and utilizes the open APIs to access data in the virtual data base.
