"Port" refers to an opening configured, engineered, and/or designed for passage of a fluid. Often "port" is used with a modifier describing and differentiating a direction of flow of a fluid through the port. For example, an "inlet port" refers to a port configured and/or oriented to allow a fluid to pass through the port and into a container or other vessel. An "outlet port" refers to a port configured and/or oriented to allow a fluid to pass through the port and out of a container or other vessel. Similarly, “port” can be used with a modifier that identifies the container or vessel to which the port enables fluid communication of the fluid. For example, a “reservoir inlet port” refers to a port that enables a fluid to pass into a reservoir. Similarly, a “reservoir outlet port” refers to a port that enables a fluid to pass out of a reservoir.
