Agree that the Ufer wiki entry re "chip and flake" is soft. However, the

conclusion.

My IEEE membership doesn't include the groups with the papers of
interest so getting the references is expensive.  However, I did find a
"public" powerpoint that may be of interest

Jim, if you have institutional access to the IEEExplore library, would
you revise the wiki Ufer entry?

I have all the papers, but I am loathe to revise the Wiki. I've done that before with other entries, and folks just revert the changes out. I'll give it a shot though.
