Abstract
This application discloses a method of preparing an assembly. A base assembly is provided and includes a base, and a second fastener structure coupled to the base at a joint. The base assembly is then attached to a receiving element that is configured to physically receive a module and includes a first fastener structure. The first fastener structure is fastened with the second fastener structure and provides a first degree of freedom of motion of the receiving element with respect to the base, and the movement of the receiving element is unlimited in a first direction of travel associated with the first degree of freedom of motion. The receiving element is rotated along the first direction of travel until the receiving element reaches a nominal position at which the receiving element and the module received thereby are configured to face substantially up when they are flipped down via the joint.
