Disclosed is a plasma torch for overcladding a primary preform of an optical fiber. The elastomeric layer comprises at least two elastomeric coatings of different properties andor compositions. The panels are adhered to one another and to top and bottom beam supports using bonding material. The fluid injector produces fluid flow outward and inward in response to the control signal, thereby creating an acoustic wave proportional to the electrical signal. Contact areas of each of the flexible beams may be shaped to define multiple contact points, thus increasing the overall area available for current to pass. The order whereat a storage sub-system located in the vicinity has received data from a host is consistently guaranteed, and the third data center holds the data.
