This concept also applies to words with similar meanings, for example, the terms "have", "include" and their derivatives.
術語「部件」、「區段」、「部分」、「零件」、「元件」、「主體」及「結構」在以單數形式使用時可具有一單一零件或複數個零件之雙重含義。The terms "component", "section", "portion", "part", "element", "body" and "structure" when used in the singular may have the dual meaning of a single part or a plurality of parts.
序數(諸如本申請案中陳述之「第一」及「第二」)僅為識別符，而不具有任何其他含義(例如，一特定順序或類似物)。再者，例如，術語「第一元件」本身不暗示存在「第二元件」，且術語「第二元件」本身不暗示存在「第一元件」。Ordinal numbers (such as "first" and "second" stated in this application) are only identifiers and do not have any other meaning (eg, a specific order or the like). Furthermore, for example, the term "first element" itself does not imply the presence of a "second element", and the term "second element" itself does not imply the presence of a "first element".
如本文中使用之術語「…對」除其中元件對具有彼此相同之形狀或結構之組態外亦可涵蓋其中元件對具有彼此不同之形狀或結構之組態。The term "pair" as used herein may also encompass configurations in which a pair of elements have different shapes or structures in addition to a configuration in which a pair of elements has the same shape or structure as each other.
術語「一」(或「一個」)、「一或多個」及「至少一個」可在本文中互換地使用。The terms "a" (or "an"), "one or more" and "at least one" may be used interchangeably herein.

For an example, if the number of options is two, the phrase "at least one of" as used in the present invention means "only a single option" or "both options". For other examples, if the number of options is equal to or greater than three, the phrase "at least one of" used in the present invention means "only a single option" or "any combination of equal to or greater than two options" . For example, the phrase "at least one of A and B" covers (1) A alone; (2) B alone; and (3) both A and B.
