A method for manufacturing a light-emitting panel sandwiches a plurality of micro-components between two flexible substrates in a web configuration. The device includes internal channels that collect bubbles from fluid entering the filtration device and more efficiently direct fluid to sweep bubbles from the device during operation. Using the DMA controller of a target processing element, the contents of this storage location may be transferred to another storage location associated with the target processing element. An optimal set of inputs and potential state transition logic is identified for the registers in the component. A comparator compares the current shape of the workpiece to the desired shape of the workpiece.
