In this disclosure, when further description is required a prism will be named for the geometric or descriptive name of the form factor of the two congruent faces. If the form factor of the two corresponding faces has no clearly established or well-known geometric or descriptive name, the term irregular prism will be used. The center axis of a prism is defined as a line that joins the center point of the first congruent face of the prism to the center point of the second corresponding congruent face of the prism. The center axis of a prism is otherwise analogous to the center axis of a cylinder. A prism wherein the ends are circles is commonly referred to as a cylinder.

Quadric Curve: As used in this disclosure, a quadric curve is a line that varies in the two Cartesian coordinates in an algebraically defined manner. Euclidian lines as well as the surfaces of ellipsoids, circles, parabolas, and hyperbolas, are examples of quadric curves. The Euclidian line is technically considered a degenerate form of a quadric curve but, unless specifically stated otherwise within this disclosure, is explicitly included in this definition. Quadric curves are described by the general algebraic form: Ax²+By²+Cxy+Dx+Ey+F=0.

Radial: As used in this disclosure, the term radial refers to a direction that: 1) is perpendicular to an identified central axis; or, 2) projects away from a center point.

Ring: As used in this disclosure, a ring is a term that is used to describe a disk-like structure through which an aperture is formed. Rings are often considered loops.

Rounded: A used in this disclosure, the term rounded refers to the replacement of an apex, vertex, or edge or brink of a structure with a (generally smooth) curvature wherein the concave portion of the curvature faces the interior or center of the structure.

Semi-Rigid Structure: As used in this disclosure, a semi-rigid structure is a solid structure that is stiff but not wholly inflexible and that will deform under force before breaking. A semi-rigid structure may or may not behave with an elastic nature in that a semi-rigid structure need not return to its relaxed shape.

Sheeting: As used in this disclosure, a sheeting is a material, such as a paper, textile, a plastic, or a metal foil, in the form of a thin flexible layer or layers.

Slot: As used in this disclosure, a slot is a long narrow cavity or aperture that is formed in or through an object.
