Abstract:
A method for assembling a composite rotatable-element component using a plurality of rotatable-element components of a first class and a plurality of rotatable-element components of a second class;wherein said plurality of rotatable-element components of a first class are defined by a first common response or responses to incident electromagnetic radiation of interest, and wherein said plurality of rotatable-element components of a second class are defined by a second common response or responses to said incident electromagnetic radiation of interest; said method comprising: dispersing said plurality of rotatable-element components of a first class to first preferred positions on a first carrier, dispersing said plurality of rotatable-element components of a second class to second preferred positions on a second carrier, performing a first manipulation of said first carrier and said second carrier such that one of said plurality of rotatable-element components of a first class in said first preferred position and one of said plurality of rotatable-element components of a second class in said second preferred position touch at a contact point, and performing a second manipulation of said one of said plurality of rotatable-element components of a first class and said one of said plurality of rotatable-element components of a second class at said contact point such that said one of said plurality of rotatable-element components of a first class and said one of said plurality of rotatable-element components of a second class bond to form said composite rotatable-element component.
