Methods of and systems for illuminating objects using planar laser illumination beams having substantially-planar spatial distribution characteristics that extend through the field of view of image formation and detection modules employed in such systems. By applying pressure and by heating at a temperature of at most the copper recrystallization temperature, the components contained in the solution are removed except for copper, so as to elute copper oxide, thereby bonding the first bonding portion and the second bonding portion via the copper thus deposited. \u201d The method generates evaluation criteria responsive to a user profile, user choices in managing the virtual system, and events that occur during a simulation, in addition to the original state of the system. In order to enable an earlier release of the tool taper from the collet chuck in the work spindle, and thus faster tool changes, at least one leg of the grippers is extended to form a protruding holding finger.
