The terms spatially relative, "below", "beneath", "lower", "above", "upper" May be used to readily describe a device or a relationship of components to other devices or components. Spatially relative terms should be understood to include, in addition to the orientation shown in the drawings, terms that include different orientations of the device during use or operation. For example, when inverting an element shown in the figure, an element described as " below or beneath "of another element may be placed" above "another element. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can include both downward and upward directions. The elements can also be oriented in different directions, in which case spatially relative terms can be interpreted according to orientation.
Unless defined otherwise, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein may be used in a sense commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.
