Sure, it's a catch-all in cases where the engineering is more an art than a science (i.e. more than seven independent variables!). It's 'what you see in well-designed products'. For example, where you can't design something by using recognized mathematical methods, you base your design on previously successful ones, not on dimensions, etc. revealed to you under the influence of mind-enhancing substances. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Eat mink and be dreary! ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
