Content

The separator 122 connects to the superior plate 118 and to the inferior plate 120. The separator 122 can adjust the displacement 128. In one embodiment, actuation of the separator 122 adjusts the displacement 128. As used herein, a "separator" refers to an apparatus, instrument, structure, device, component, system, assembly, or module structured, organized, configured, programmed, designed, arranged, or engineered to separate a first structure from another structure. In one embodiment, the separator is structured, organized, configured, programmed, designed, arranged, or engineered to separate a first plate from a second plate and thereby create a distance between the first plate and the second plate. The separator 122 can actively adjust the displacement 128 and/or retain the superior plate 118 and inferior plate 120 in a certain state of separation, thereby maintaining a desired displacement 128.
