The separation indicator 124 indicates the displacement 128 between the superior plate 118 and the inferior plate 120. The separation indicator 124 can be coupled to the separator 122. As used herein, a "separation indicator" refers to an apparatus, device, component, system, assembly, hardware, software, firmware, circuit, module, or logic structured, organized, configured, programmed, designed, arranged, or engineered to indicate a displacement between two or more structures to a user. The separation indicator can include one or more of an audible signal, a tactile signal, a visual signal or indication, and the like. In one embodiment, a visual indicator for the separation indicator may comprise a number or set of numbers that represent a unit of measure for the displacement (or distance) between the two or more structures. Alternatively, or in addition, the separation indicator may comprise a mechanical device, an electromechanical device, an electronic device (analog or digital), and the like.
