[0024] While specific aspects of the subject matter described herein have been shown and explained, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that, based on the teachings herein, changes and modifications can be made without departing from the subject matter described herein and its broader aspects, and that the attached claims encompass all such changes and modifications within their scope, as being within the true spirit and scope of the subject matter described herein. In general, it will be understood to those skilled in the art that the terms used herein, and in particular in the claims (e.g., the text of the claims), are generally intended to be “non-limiting” terms (e.g., the term “contains” should be interpreted as “contains but not limited thereto,” the term “has” as “has at least,” the term “contains” as “contains but not limited thereto,” etc.). Where a particular number of claims to be introduced is intended, such intent will be explicitly stated in the claims, and it will be further understood to those skilled in the art that the absence of such statement indicates that such intent is not presented. For example, for the sake of understanding, the following claims may include the use of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce the claims. However, the use of such phrases should not be interpreted as implying that any particular claim containing such introduced claim descriptions is limited to a claim containing only one such description, even when the same claim contains the introductory phrase "one or more" or "at least one" and an indefinite article such as "a" or "an" (for example, "a" and / or "an" should generally be interpreted as meaning "at least one" or "one or more"). The same applies to the use of definite articles used to introduce claim descriptions. In addition, if a particular number of introduced claim descriptions is explicitly stated, a person skilled in the art will understand that such descriptions should generally be interpreted as meaning at least one described number (for example, the minimum description of "two descriptions" without other modifying phrases generally means at least two descriptions, or two or more descriptions).Furthermore, where a convention similar to "at least one of A, B, and C, etc." is used, such configurations are generally intended to be understood by those skilled in the art (for example, "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" includes, but is not limited to, systems having A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and / or A, B, and C together, etc.). Those skilled in the art will also understand that, whether in the specification, claims, or drawings, any optional words and / or phrases indicating two or more alternative terms should be assumed to include either one term, either term, or both terms, unless the context otherwise indicates. For example, the phrase "A or B" is usually understood to include the possibilities of "A" or "B" or "A and B".
[0025] With respect to the claims, those skilled in the art will understand that the operations enumerated herein may, in general, be performed in any order. Furthermore, while various operation flows are presented in sequence, it should be understood that various operations may be performed in a different order than described, or simultaneously. Examples of such alternative orderings may include, unless otherwise specified in the context, overlap, alternation, interruption, reordering, augmentation, preparation, supplementation, simultaneous, reverse order, or other variant orderings. Moreover, terms such as “responding,” “related,” or other past tense adjectives are generally not intended to exclude such variants unless otherwise specified in the context.
