Abstract
A method of forming a receiver 130 comprises arranging first structures 120a in a first set 117 and second structures 120b in a second set 119 such that the first structures 120a and the second structures 120b extend within an interior space 136 of the receiver 130 in a direction normal to a longitudinal central axis 112 of the interior space 136. The method further comprises indirectly bonding the first set 117 of the first structures 120a to the second set 119 of the second structures 120b.

A method of forming a receiver, the method comprising:
- arranging first structures in a first set of the first structures and second structures in a second set of the second structures
- such that the first structures and the second structures extend within an interior space of the receiver in a direction normal to a longitudinal central axis of the interior space and
- such that ends of the first structures and the second structures, closest to the longitudinal central axis, form cylindrical surfaces, parallel to the longitudinal central axis and equidistant from the longitudinal central axis;
- and
- indirectly bonding the first set of the first structures to the second set of the second structures, wherein:
- at least one of the first structures consists of a first material;
- at least one of the second structures consists of a second material;
- the first material is different from the second material;
- any two adjacent ones of the first structures are separated by an empty gap;
- and
- any two adjacent ones of the second structures are separated by another empty gap.
