Abstract
The invention features utilization of a single electrical power supply for ntermittently electrifying one or more regions of an electrosettable compositional entity during the cure of that entity, thereby controllably altering one or more physical characteristics of each electrified region. A constant voltage-and-current power output is applied to each region; the amount of electric power which is applied to a region during an electrification period varies in accordance with the time duration of that period. The practitioner time-schedules the inventive intermittence in terms of duration, number, frequency and sequence of the regional electrification periods.
