An apparatus comprises a manipulandum, a housing, a sensor and an actuator. This invention provides a new type of RAID architecture using operational primitives in a message passing multi-controller environment to solve the problems presented in having multiple controllers distribute a non-uniform workload. The assembly is electroplated with copper to increase the Cufilament ratio in the resulting product, and thereby increase the said CuSC ratio to improve the stability of the final superconductor.
