I have no engineering degrees and physics was a long time ago, but I do
know what "impedance" means. 

At the same time I have a substantial knowledge of the world of
business, and I see a very good business opportunity here. The product
I am seeking does not exist. If you went into business manufacturing it
you would have a technical monopoly. Considering the interest on this
list and the comments by PCHcables, it sounds as though one could make
a tidy sum on such an enterprise. The real profit comes at the end when
you sell the business and the patents to BigNameCorporation.
