- ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second”, and “third” are set to avoid confusion of constituent elements, rather than to limit the quantity.
- "Plurality” in this disclosure includes two and more than two.
- the terms “installed”, “connected” and “connected” should be construed broadly unless otherwise expressly specified and limited. For example, it may be a fixed connection, or a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it may be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate piece, or an internal communication between two elements.
- installed should be construed broadly unless otherwise expressly specified and limited.
