Patent ID: 6846377

Claim:
A method for assembling a laminate substrate containment structure for composite rotatable-element components using a plurality of rotatable-element components of a first class and of a plurality of rotatable-element components of a second class, where 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 where 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, and using a first carrier and a second carrier, said method comprising: dispersing said plurality of rotatable-element components of a first class to first preferred positions on said first carrier; dispersing said plurality of rotatable-element components of a second class to second preferred positions on said 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 on said first carrier and one of said plurality of rotatable-element components of a second class in said second preferred position on said second carrier touch at a first 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 first 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 one of said composite rotatable-element components, performing a third manipulation of said first carrier and said second carrier such that said first carrier and said second carrier touch at a set of second contact points; and performing a fourth manipulation of said first carrier and said second carrier such that said first carrier and said second carrier at said set of second contact points bond to form said laminate substrate.
