Claim Text:
1. A method for defining an electrode for use in measuring dielectric properties of a part, comprising: forming a plate of electrically conductive material to have an outer perimeter defined to substantially match an outer perimeter of the part, wherein the part is a dielectric part including a number of embedded conductive material items, wherein the plate has a top surface and a bottom surface; identifying a location of each embedded conductive material item within the part; projecting the identified location of each embedded conductive material item within the part upon either the top surface of the plate or the bottom surface of the plate with the outer perimeters of the part and the plate substantially aligned; and removing a portion of the plate at each embedded conductive material item location as projected upon the plate, wherein the portion of the plate that is removed extends through an entire vertical thickness of the plate from the top surface of the plate to the bottom surface of the plate.
