one of the best parts of engineering is that you get really strange solutions to some problems

can't get a part with a low enough temperature coefficient for your precision application? Well, they make little insulating boxes that you can put it in with a temperature sensor and a resistor to use as a heating element, so you can keep it at a constant temperature with a tiny oven! (that's easier than a tiny refrigerator)
