Claim 10:
11. The method of claim 1, wherein the side edges of each fin include a pair of base lateral regions that intersect the exterior surface of the band on opposite sides of the fin, the base lateral regions each having contours that differ from a contour of the exterior surface of the band such that intersections between the base lateral regions and the exterior surface of the fin define discontinuities extending along the length of the fin, wherein the side edges of each fin further include a pair of intermediate lateral regions that intersect the base lateral regions on opposite sides of the fin, the intermediate lateral regions each have contours that differ from the contours of the base lateral regions such that the intersections between the intermediate and base lateral regions define discontinuities extending along the length of the fin.
