As used herein, an "interface," "user interface," or "engagement interface" refers to an area, a boundary, structure, or a place at which two separate and/or independent structures, members, apparatus, assemblies, components, and/or systems join, connect, are coupled, or meet and act on, or communicate, mechanically and/or electronically, with each other. In certain embodiments, "interface" may refer to a surface forming a common boundary of two bodies, spaces, structures, members, apparatus, assemblies, components, or phases.
In certain embodiments, the term interface may be used with an adjective that identifies a type or function for the interface. For example, an engagement or coupling interface may refer to one or more structures that interact, connect, or couple to mechanically join or connect two separate structures, each connected to a side of the interface. In another example, a user interface may refer to one or more mechanical, electrical, or electromechanical structures that interact with or enable a user to provide user input, instructions, input signals, data, or data values and receive output, output data, or feedback.
