Abstract
The invention comprises a curved fluidic device and a housing piece with a curved slot to accommodate the curved fluidic device. The aim angle can be varied greatly by changing the depth of insertion of the fluidic device into the curved slot. By adjusting the curvature of the fluidic device and slot, the amount of variation possible and sensitivity to insertion depth can be controlled. With more curvature, the aim angle can be adjusted more but is more sensitive to insertion depth tolerance. With less curvature, the insertion depth is more robust but the aim adjustment range is smaller.
