New implementations of well-known designs are covered as well as enhancement of existing controllers. Finally two new controllers are introduced that are made possible by these recently available new materials and construction techniques %Z CNMAT %> http://www.adrianfreed.com/sites/default/files/applicationsMalleableNIME2008AdrianFreed.pdf
