A method of fixing an optical component includes the steps of scoring a surface of a support, bringing an optical component into close contact with the scored surface of the support, and flowing a fluid adhesive along kerfs produced by the scoring. Preferably, the acoustic energy comprises ultrasonic energy, which is applied in combination with optical or electrical energy to enhance the formation of pores in surface membranes of the cells. Retractable vanes on the rotor push the flowable material toward a fill slot as the rotor rotates. The division by the 123nd degree generator polynomial is performed on a per byte basis, with the remainder of the division of the th byte being used in the division of the ith byte.
