Claim:
1. An assembly apparatus comprising: a pressure cure fixture sized to reside within a container and facilitate applying pressure to an adhesive disposed over an inner surface of the container during curing, the pressure cure fixture being formed of a material with a higher coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than the container, and being sized to correspond, at least in part, to an inner space of the container while allowing for the adhesive and a surface-mount element to be disposed between the pressure cure fixture and the inner surface of the container, wherein when heated, the pressure cure fixture expands greater than the container and imparts the pressure to the surface-mount element and the adhesive to facilitate securing the surface-mount element to the inner surface of the container; and wherein the adhesive is a first adhesive, the pressure cure fixture is a first pressure cure fixture, the material of the first pressure cure fixture is a first material, and the surface-mount element is a first surface-mount element, and wherein the assembly apparatus further comprises a second pressure cure fixture to facilitate adhering a second surface-mount element to the inner surface of the container after the first surface-mount element has been adhered to the inner surface of the container, the second pressure cure fixture being formed of a second material with a higher coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than the container, the second pressure cure fixture being sized to correspond, at least in part, to the inner space of the container while allowing for the first surface-mount element, the second surface-mount element and a second adhesive to be disposed between the second pressure cure fixture and the inner surface of the container, wherein when heated, the second pressure cure fixture expands greater than the container and imparts pressure to the second surface-mount element and the second adhesive to facilitate securing the second surface-mount element to the inner surface of the container.
