Abstract
This paper presents the first direct-write microfabrication of thin-film thermocouple temperature sensors enabled by controlled manipulation of micro glow plasma. The microplasma is generated at the tip of a micromachined thermocouple alloy electrode at atmospheric pressure, enabling localized sputtering deposition of the alloy on the substrate to create sensing junctions via plasma scanning over the substrate. Micropatterning of T-type (Constantan-Cu) thermocouples is demonstrated by drawing Constantan film directly on Cu-coated substrates using cylindrical target electrodes with diameters down to 50 μm. The thermoelectric behaviors of printed structures are measured to prove their thermocouple function, with a sensitivity of 39 μV/°0 that matches well with the typical T-type's coefficient. This direct-write scheme is promising for rapid, low-cost printing of micro temperature sensors, i.e., thermocouples, thermopiles and resistive temperature detectors, potentially on a variety of objects including three-dimensional components and flexible substrates.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
