Content

As used herein, an “opening” refers to a gap, a hole, an aperture, a port, a portal, a slit, a space or recess in a structure, a void in a structure, or the like. In certain embodiments, an opening can refer to a structure configured specifically for receiving something and/or for allowing access. In certain embodiments, an opening can pass through a structure. In such embodiments, the opening can be referred to as a window. In other embodiments, an opening can exist within a structure but not pass through the structure. In other embodiments, an opening can initiate on a surface or at an edge or at a side of a structure and extend into the structure for a distance, but not pass through or extend to another side or edge of the structure. In other embodiments, an opening can initiate on a surface or at an edge or at a side of a structure and extend into the structure until the opening extends through or extends to another side or edge of the structure. An opening can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional and can have a variety of geometric shapes and/or cross-sectional shapes, including, but not limited to a rectangle, a square, or other polygon, as well as a circle, an ellipse, an ovoid, or other circular or semi-circular shape. As used herein, the term “opening” can include one or more modifiers that define specific types of “openings” based on the purpose, function, operation, position, or location of the “opening.” As one example, a “fastener opening” refers to an “opening” adapted, configured, designed, or engineered to accept or accommodate a “fastener.”
