Abstract:
1. An adjustable structure, comprising: a substrate; a component bonded to and aligned relative to a surface of said substrate using fusible elements comprised of a plurality of non-eutectic solder materials, each fusible element of said fusible elements being comprised of one type non-eutectic solder material of the plurality of non-eutectic solder materials, each non-eutectic solder material having a liquidus transition temperature that is distinct from its solidus temperature, and the liquidus transition temperature of the one type non-eutectic solder material is distinct from the liquidus transition temperature of any other type of non-eutectic solder material in the plurality of non-eutectic solder materials, wherein a surface of said component is aligned relative to a surface of the substrate as a function of an extent of melting of the fusible elements during a bonding process; and a reset mechanism configured to reset a displacement between the substrate and the component, wherein the reset mechanism comprises a thermally controlled activator at least partially disposed between the substrate and the component; where at least one of the fusible elements has a shape of a star, or has a hole or a void.
