As used herein, an “aperture” refers to a gap, a hole, a port, a portal, an opening, a space or recess in a structure, a void in a structure, or the like. In certain embodiments, an aperture can refer to a structure configured specifically for receiving something and/or for allowing access. In certain embodiments, an aperture can pass through a structure. In other embodiments, an aperture can exist within a structure but not pass through the structure. An aperture 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.
