Detailed Description [0011] A user may utilize a computing device for various purposes, such as for business and/or recreational use. As used herein, the term “computing device” refers to an electronic system having a processing resource, memory resource, and/or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that can process information. A computing device can be, for example, a laptop computer, a notebook, a desktop, a tablet, an all-in-one (AIO) computer, and/or a mobile device, among other types of computing devices. [0012] A computing device can include various components in order to perform computing device operations. Such components can include, for example, a printed circuit board (PCB) such as, for instance, a motherboard, a central processing unit (CPU), a heat sink associated with the CPU, a power supply, storage drives (e.g., floppy drives or optical drives such as CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, etc.), memory, a hard disk, a video card, a sound card, among other components. [0013] As mentioned above, a computing device can include a CPU and a PCB. The CPU can interface with the PCB in order to allow the computing device to perform computing operations. [0014] During operation of the computing device, the CPU can generate heat. In order to ensure optimal thermal performance of the CPU, the heat sink can be interfaced with the CPU with a particular loading force in order to assist in removing the heat generated by the CPU. As used herein, the term “loading force” refers to a force exerted on a body. A sufficient loading force exerted on the CPU by the heat sink can ensure proper surface contact between the CPU and the heat sink (e.g., as well as any thermal interface materials between the CPU and the heat sink, such as thermal adhesive, thermal paste, etc.), and thereby also ensure optimal thermal performance of the CPU and heat sink. [0015] In order to generate a particular loading force on the CPU by the heat sink, fasteners may be utilized. As used herein, the term “fastener” refers to a mechanical device that joins objects together. Such fasteners may be utilized to provide a loading force on the CPU by the heat sink by interfacing with and engaging with the heat sink and another object (e.g., the PCB, CPU die, etc.). [0016] While one CPU may have a particular loading force for optimal thermal performance, another CPU might have a different loading force. Such differences may be due to CPU performance, CPU design, CPU size, and/or other factors. Accordingly, while it may be desirable to utilize one heat sink design with different CPUs, such a single heat sink design may not be able to provide the particular loading forces to ensure proper thermal performance with the different CPUs. For example, the fasteners may not be able to travel enough of a distance during engagement to impart the particular loading forces for the different CPUs. [0017] Adjustable brackets with fasteners according to the disclosure can provide for a slidable bracket included with a heat sink that can allow the heat sink to be utilized with different CPUs while still ensuring optimal thermal performance with the different CPUs. The adjustable bracket can allow for fasteners to travel different distances during engagement of the fasteners based on a position of the adjustable bracket, thereby allowing the heat sink to effect different loading forces based on the position of the adjustable bracket. As such, the same heat sink design may be utilized for different CPUs while ensuring proper thermal performance of the different CPUs. Accordingly, the same heat sink can be optimally designed to work with multiple different computing device setups while still providing proper thermal performance with different CPUs. Such an approach can reduce design and manufacturing costs, as compared with previous approaches, as multiple heat sink designs do not have to be made. [0018] FIG.1A is an exploded perspective view of an example of an apparatus 100 for adjustable brackets with fasteners consistent with the disclosure. As illustrated in FIG.1A, the apparatus 100 can include an adjustable bracket 102 and a fastener 110. The adjustable bracket 102 can be in a first position as illustrated in FIG.1A. [0019] As mentioned above, the adjustable bracket 102 can be utilized with the fastener 110 to cause a heat sink (e.g., not illustrated in FIG.1A) to impart a loading force on a CPU (e.g., not illustrated in FIG.1A). The fastener 110 can be engaged to impart a force on the adjustable bracket 102, which can impart a force on a heat sink. The forces imparted on the adjustable bracket 102 can differ based on whether the fastener 110 is interfaced with a first section 104-1 of the adjustable bracket 102 or a second section 104-2 of the adjustable bracket 102, as is further described herein with respect to FIGS.3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, and 5. [0020] As used herein, the term “bracket” refers to a member as part of a structural whole. For example, the adjustable bracket 102 can be a member interfaced with a heat sink to provide a loading force on a CPU, as is further described in connection with FIGS.3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, and 5. [0021] The adjustable bracket 102 can include a first section 104-1 and a second section 104-2. The first section 104-1 can be a portion of the adjustable bracket 102 located proximate to a slot 106. The first section 104-1 can be substantially flat. Additionally, the second section 104-2 can also be located proximate to the slot 106. The second section 104-2 can be raised relative to the first section 104-1. For example, the second section 104-2 can be at a height that is greater than a height of the first section 104-1 when measured from a reference point. The adjustable bracket 102 may be machined, stamped, three-dimensionally (3D) printed, etc. in order to orient the second section 104-2 to be raised relative to the first section 104-1. Consequently, the first section 104-1 can be lower than the second section 104-2. [0022] As mentioned above, the adjustable bracket 102 includes a slot 106. As used herein, the term “slot” refers to an opening through a material. For example, the slot 106 can be an opening through a thickness of the adjustable bracket 102. The slot 106 can include a width that is sufficient for a threaded portion 112 of the fastener 110 to fit through, as is further described in connection with FIG.1B. [0023] The slot 106 spans a length between the first section 104-1 and the second section 104-2 of the adjustable bracket 102. For example, the slot 106 can include a length that spans between the first section 104-1 and the second section 104-2 to allow the adjustable bracket 102 to translate relative to the fastener 110, as is further described herein. [0024] The adjustable bracket 102 is adjustable. As illustrated in FIG.1A, the adjustable bracket 102 includes a handle 108. As used herein, the term “handle” refers to a portion of a device designed to be interacted with by a hand to assist with movement of the device. For example, the adjustable bracket 102 may be translated relative to the fastener 110 while the fastener 110 is located in the slot 106, as is further described in connection with FIG.1B. Adjustment of the adjustable bracket 102 may be performed by pulling or pressing on the handle 108 (e.g., by a user). [0025] As illustrated in FIG.1A, the apparatus 100 includes a fastener 110. As used herein, the term “fastener” refers to a device to a device that mechanically joins objects together. For example, the fastener 110 can be a threaded fastener that can include an external male thread that can be received by a matching female thread included in a tapped housing on another object. Such a tapped housing may be located in, for example, a PCB such that when the fastener 110 is received by the tapped housing, the fastener 110 imparts a force on the adjustable bracket 102 which can cause a heat sink to impart a loading force on a CPU, as is further described in connection with FIGS.3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, and 5. As illustrated in FIG.1A, the fastener 110 is to interface with the adjustable bracket 102 via the slot 106. [0026] In some examples, the fastener 110 is a heat sink screw. A heat sink screw can be, for instance, a screw including a threaded portion 112 as well as a biasing element 114 located around a shank of the screw that can be utilized to exert a pressure on another object, such as a CPU. As used herein, the term “biasing element” refers to an elastic device that stores mechanical energy. The biasing element 114 can be, for example, a spring. [0027] Although not illustrated in FIG.1A, the fastener 110 can further include a retaining element to prevent the fastener 110 from being removed from the slot 106, as is further described in connection with FIGS.3B and 4B. The fastener 110 secures the adjustable bracket 102 and a component of a computing device, such as a CPU, as is further described herein. [0028] Although a single fastener 110, slot 106, and first section 104-1 and second section 104-2 are described above, examples of the disclosure are not so limited. For example, as illustrated in FIG.1A, the adjustable bracket 102 includes two fasteners and two slots, where both slots include first sections and second sections. The additional fastener, slot, and sections of the adjustable bracket 102 can be the same components and design. Utilizing multiple fasteners and slots can assist balancing forces imparted on a CPU by a heat sink via the fasteners/brackets. [0029] FIG.1B is a perspective view of an example of an apparatus 100 for adjustable brackets with fasteners interfaced with a first section consistent with the disclosure. As illustrated in FIG.1B, the apparatus 100 can include an adjustable bracket 102 and a fastener 110. The adjustable bracket 102 can be in a first position as illustrated in FIG.1B. [0030] As previously described in connection with FIG.1A, the adjustable bracket 102 can include a first section 104-1, a second section 104-2, a slot 106, and a handle 108. As illustrated in FIG.1B, the fastener 110 is interfaced with the slot 106 of the adjustable bracket 102. The fastener 110 can be interfaced with the slot 106 in the first section 104-1 of the adjustable bracket 102. [0031] When the fastener 110 is interfaced with the slot 106 in the first section 104-1, the fastener 110 can travel a first distance to an engaged position when the fastener 110 is engaged with a tapped housing in a PCB. For example, as the fastener 110 is moved to the engaged position, the biasing element 114 can be compressed as the fastener 110 travels a first distance. As the first section 104-1 is lower relative to the second section 104-2, the fastener 110 can travel a further distance than if the fastener 110 is interfaced with the slot 106 in the second section 104-2, as the second section 104-2 is raised relative to the first section 104-1. Accordingly, while the fastener 110 is to travel a first distance to an engaged position when the fastener 110 is interfaced with the first section 104-1, the fastener 110 is to travel a second distance to an engaged position when the fastener 110 is interfaced with the second section 104-2, where the first distance is greater than the second distance, as is further described in connection with FIGS.2A and 2B. [0032] FIG.2A is an exploded perspective view of an example of an apparatus 200 for adjustable brackets with fasteners consistent with the disclosure. As illustrated in FIG.2A, the apparatus 200 can include an adjustable bracket 202 and a fastener 210. The adjustable bracket 202 can be in a second position as illustrated in FIG.2A. [0033] Similar to the apparatus 100 previously described in FIG.1A, the adjustable bracket 202 includes a first section 204-1 and a second section 204-2. The second section 204-2 is raised relative to the first section 204-1. A slot 206 spans a length between the first section 204-1 and the second section 204-2. [0034] As previously described in connection with FIG.1A, the adjustable bracket 202 is adjustable. For example, the adjustable bracket 202 may be adjusted (e.g., via the handle 208) relative to a fastener 210 (from a first position, as previously described in connection with FIGS.1A and 1B) to a second position such that the fastener 210 can interface with the slot 206 at the second section 204-2. [0035] As mentioned above, the apparatus 200 includes a fastener 210. The fastener 210 can include a threaded portion 212 and a biasing element 214 and is to interface with the adjustable bracket 202 via the slot 206. As illustrated in FIG.2A, the fastener 210 is to interface with the slot 206 at the second section 204-2 of the adjustable bracket 202. The fastener 210 can be a threaded fastener (e.g., include a threaded portion 212) that can include an external male thread that can be received by a matching female thread included in a tapped housing on another object. Such a tapped housing may be located in, for example, a PCB such that when the fastener 210 is received by the tapped housing, the fastener 210 imparts a force on the adjustable bracket 202 which can cause a heat sink to impart a loading force on a CPU. [0036] FIG.2B is a perspective view of an example of an apparatus for adjustable brackets with fasteners interfaced with a second section consistent with the disclosure. As illustrated in FIG.2B, the apparatus 200 can include an adjustable bracket 202 and a fastener 210. The adjustable bracket 202 can be in a second position as illustrated in FIG.2B. [0037] As previously described in connection with FIG.2A, the adjustable bracket 202 can include the first section 204-1, the second section 204-2, the slot 206, and the handle 208. As illustrated in FIG.2B, the fastener 210 is interfaced with the slot 206 of the adjustable bracket 202. The fastener 210 can be interfaced with the slot 206 in the second section 204-2 of the adjustable bracket 202. [0038] When the fastener 210 is interfaced with the slot 206 in the second section 204-2, the fastener 210 can travel a second distance to an engaged position when the fastener 210 is engaged with a tapped housing in a PCB. For example, as the fastener 210 is moved to the engaged position, the biasing element 214 can be compressed as the fastener 210 travels a second distance. As the second section 204-2 is raised relative to the first section 204-1, the fastener 210 can travel a shorter distance than if the fastener 210 is interfaced with the slot 206 in the first section 204-1, as the first section 204-1 is lower relative to the second section 204-2. Accordingly, while the fastener 210 is to travel a first distance to an engaged position when the fastener 210 is interfaced with the first section 204-1, the fastener 210 is to travel the second distance to an engaged position when the fastener 210 is interfaced with the second section 204-2, where the second distance is less than the first distance. [0039] Accordingly, as described in connection with FIGS.1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B, the distance traveled by the fastener 210 can be modified by adjusting the adjustable bracket 202 relative to the fastener 210. As a result, the loading force applied to a CPU by the adjustable bracket 202 via the fastener 210 can be adjusted. When the adjustable bracket is in the first position such that the fastener 210 is interfaced with the adjustable bracket 202 at the first section 204-1 (e.g., as previously described in connection with FIGS.1A and 1B), the adjustable bracket is to provide a loading force that is greater than the loading force applied when the adjustable bracket is in the second position such that the fastener 210 is interfaced with the adjustable bracket at the second section 204-2, as is further described in connection with FIGS. 3A, 3B, 4A, and 4B. [0040] FIG.3A is a perspective view of an example of an apparatus 320 including a heat sink 322 for adjustable brackets with fasteners consistent with the disclosure. As illustrated in FIG.3A, the apparatus 320 can include a heat sink 322 and an adjustable bracket 302. [0041] The apparatus 320 can include a heat sink 322. As used herein, the term “heat sink” refers to a heat exchanger to dissipate heat away from an object. For example, the heat sink 322 can be utilized to dissipate heat away from a computing device object, such as a CPU. [0042] The heat sink 322 can include a channel 324. As used herein, the term “channel” refers to an opening through a portion of material. The channel 324 can be, for example, an opening through a portion of the heat sink 322. The channel 324 is not through an entire thickness of the heat sink 322. [0043] The adjustable bracket 302 can be located in the channel 324. For example, the adjustable bracket 302 can be shaped to be received by the channel 324. The adjustable bracket 302 can be shaped such that the adjustable bracket 302 does not span a length of the entire channel 324 so that the adjustable bracket 302 can be translated within the channel, as is further described herein. [0044] The apparatus 320 can further include a fastener 310. The fastener 310 can be interfaced with a slot in the adjustable bracket 302. [0045] The adjustable bracket 302 is translatable within the channel 324 to a first position (e.g., as illustrated in FIG.3A) or a second position (e.g., as previously illustrated in FIGS.2A and 2B). As illustrated in FIG.3A, the adjustable bracket 302 is in the first position. The section view “X-X” shown in FIG.3A can define the side- section view, as further described in connection with FIG.3B. [0046] FIG.3B is a side-section view of an example of an apparatus 320 including a heat sink 322 for adjustable brackets with fasteners interfaced with a first section 304-1 and having a first travel distance 326-1 consistent with the disclosure. As illustrated in FIG.3B, the apparatus 320 can include the heat sink 322, the adjustable bracket 302 located in the channel 324, and the fastener 310. The adjustable bracket 302 can be in a first position. [0047] The fastener 310 can include a retaining element 316. As used herein, the term “retaining element” refers to a mechanical device to prevent an object from being removed from another object. The retaining element 316 can be, for instance, a washer, a retaining clip, etc. The retaining element 316 can prevent the fastener 310 from being removed from the heat sink 322 when the fastener 310 is in a disengaged position and/or when the adjustable bracket 302 is translated within the channel 324. [0048] As illustrated in FIG.3B, the adjustable bracket 302 is in the first position. In such a position, the fastener 310 is to interface with the channel (e.g., not illustrated in FIG.3B) of the adjustable bracket 302 at the first section 304-1 of the adjustable bracket 302. When the fastener 310 is fastened, the fastener 310 is to travel a first distance 326-1 to an engaged position when interfaced with the slot in the first section 304-1 when the adjustable bracket 302 is in the first position. [0049] In such an example, the fastener 310 can cause the heat sink 322 to provide a first loading force on a component of a computing device, such as a CPU. For example, the loading force can be directly related to a fastener travel distance (e.g., when moved to an engaged position from a disengaged position). Accordingly, when the threaded portion 312 interacts with a tapped housing on a PCB, as the fastener 310 is threaded with the tapped housing, the fastener 310 moves the first distance 326-1 (e.g., downwards, as oriented in FIG.3B) to impart a force on the adjustable bracket 302 which imparts a force on the heat sink 322 causing the heat sink 322 to provide the first loading force on the computing device component (e.g., the CPU). The loading force provided by the heat sink 322 can ensure proper surface contact between a first CPU and the heat sink 322 to ensure optimal thermal performance of the first CPU and the heat sink 322. [0050] In an example in which a different CPU design is to be utilized with the heat sink 322, the adjustable bracket 302 can be adjusted. For example, when the fastener 310 is in a disengaged position, the adjustable bracket 302 can be adjusted via the handle 308. The fastener 310 can be moved to a disengaged position to allow the adjustable bracket 302 to translated relative to the fastener 310 so that the fastener 310 can interface with the adjustable bracket 302 at the second section 304-2, as is further described in connection with FIGS.4A and 4B. [0051] FIG.4A is a perspective view of an example of an apparatus 420 including a heat sink 422 for adjustable brackets with fasteners consistent with the disclosure. As illustrated in FIG.4A, the apparatus 420 can include a heat sink 422 and an adjustable bracket 402. [0052] As illustrated in FIG.4A, the heat sink 422 includes the channel 424. The adjustable bracket 402 can be located in the channel 424 and can include a fastener 410 interfaced with a slot in the adjustable bracket 402. [0053] The adjustable bracket 402 is translatable within the channel 424 to a first position (e.g., as previously illustrated in FIGS.3A and 3B) or to a second position (e.g., as illustrated in FIG.4A). As illustrated in FIG.4A, the adjustable bracket 402 is in the second position. The section view “X-X” shown in FIG.4A can define the side-section view, as further described in connection with FIG.4B. [0054] FIG.4B is a side-section view of an example of an apparatus 420 including a heat sink 422 for adjustable brackets with fasteners interfaced with a second section 404-2 and having a second travel distance 426-2 consistent with the disclosure. As illustrated in FIG.4B, the apparatus 420 can include the heat sink 422, the adjustable bracket 402 located in the channel 424, and the fastener 410. The adjustable bracket 402 can be in the second position. [0055] As illustrated in FIG.4B, the adjustable bracket 402 is in the second position. In such a position, the fastener 410 is to interface with the channel (e.g., not illustrated in FIG.4B) of the adjustable bracket 402 at the second section 404-2 of the adjustable bracket 402. When the fastener 410 is fastened, the fastener 410 is to travel a second distance 426-2 to an engaged position when interfaced with the slot in the second section 404-2 when the adjustable bracket 402 is in the second position. Since the second section 404-2 is raised relative to the first section 404-1, the raised second section 404-2 causes the fastener 410 to travel the second distance 426-2. [0056] In such an example, the fastener 410 can cause the heat sink 422 to provide a second loading force on a component of a computing device, such as a CPU. For example, the loading force can be directly related to a fastener travel distance (e.g., when moved to an engaged position from a disengaged position). Accordingly, when the threaded portion 412 interacts with a tapped housing on a PCB, as the fastener 410 is threaded with the tapped housing, the fastener 410 moves the second distance 426-2 (e.g., downwards, as oriented in FIG.4B) to impart a force on the adjustable bracket 402 which imparts a force on the heat sink 422 causing the heat sink 422 to provide the second loading force on the computing device component (e.g., the CPU). The loading force provided by the heat sink 422 can ensure proper surface contact between a second CPU and the heat sink 422 to ensure optimal thermal performance of the second CPU and the heat sink 422. [0057] The second loading force can be less than the first loading force (e.g., previously described in connection with FIG.3B. For example, since the travel distance 426-2 is shorter than the travel distance 326-1 (e.g., previously described in connection with FIG.3B), the fastener 410 imparts less of a force on the adjustable bracket 402 and the heat sink 422, and the heat sink 422 imparts a second loading force on the CPU that is less than the first loading force associated with the fastener 310 when traveling a longer travel distance 326-1. [0058] As previously described in connection with FIG.3B, in an example in which a different CPU design is to be utilized with the heat sink 422, the adjustable bracket 402 can be adjusted. For example, when the fastener 410 is in a disengaged position, the adjustable bracket 402 can be adjusted via the handle 408. The fastener 410 can be moved to a disengaged position to allow the adjustable bracket 402 to translated relative to the fastener 410 so that the fastener 410 can interface with the adjustable bracket 402 at the first section 304-1, as previously described in connection with FIGS.3A and 3B. [0059] FIG.5 is an exploded perspective view of an example of a system 530 for adjustable brackets with fasteners consistent with the disclosure. The system 530 includes adjustable brackets 502-1, 502-2, fasteners 510-1, 510-2, 510-3, 510-4, a heat sink 522, a PCB 532, and a CPU 534. The heat sink 522 can include channels 524-1 and 524-2 in which adjustable brackets 502-1 and 502-2 can be located, respectively. [0060] As illustrated in FIG.5, the system 530 includes a PCB and a CPU 534. The CPU 534 can be interfaced with the PCB 532. Additionally, as illustrated in FIG.5, the heat sink 522 can be interfaced with the CPU 534. For example, fasteners 510-1, 510-2, 510-3, 510-4 can interface with tapped housings 536-1, 536- 2, 536-3, 536-4, respectively, in order to interface the CPU 534 with the heat sink 522. As used herein, the term “tapped housing” refers to a hole including female threads cut into an side surface of the whole so as to engage with male threads of a fastener. [0061] Based on the design of the CPU 534, the heat sink 522 may have to impart a particular loading force on the CPU 534 to ensure optimal thermal performance for the CPU 534 and the heat sink 522. Accordingly, the adjustable brackets 502-1 and 502-2 can be adjusted to a first position (e.g., higher loading force as a result of greater fastener travel distance) or a second position (e.g., lower loading force as a result of lesser fastener travel distance) according to the CPU 534. [0062] In an example in which a higher loading force is to be imparted, the adjustable brackets 502-1, 502-2 can be adjusted to be in a first position (e.g., as previously described in connection with FIGS.1A, 1B, 3A, and 3B). When the adjustable brackets 502-1, 502-2 are in the first position, the fasteners 510-1, 510-2, 510-3, 510-4 can travel a first travel distance (e.g., due to the fasteners 510-1, 510- 2, 510-3, 510-4 interfacing with a first section of the adjustable brackets 502-1, 502-2 that is lower than a second section of the adjustable brackets 502-1, 502-2) such that when the fasteners 510-1, 510-2, 510-3, 510-4 are fastened, the heat sink 522 is to provide a first loading force on the CPU 534, where the first loading force is greater than a second loading force (e.g., as is further described herein). [0063] In an example in which a lower loading force is to be imparted, the adjustable brackets 502-1, 502-2 can be adjusted to be in a second position (e.g., as previously described in connection with FIGS.2A, 2B, 4A, and 4B). When the adjustable brackets 502-1, 502-2 are in the second position, the fasteners 510-1, 510-2, 510-3, 510-4 can travel a second travel distance (e.g., due to the fasteners 510-1, 510-2, 510-3, 510-4 interfacing with a second section of the adjustable brackets 502-1, 502-2 that is higher than the first section of the adjustable brackets 502-1, 502-2) such that when the fasteners 510-1, 510-2, 510-3, 510-4 are fastened, the heat sink 522 is to provide a second loading force on the CPU 534, where the second loading force is less than the first loading force. [0064] Accordingly, adjustable brackets with fasteners can provide for an adjustable bracket that can allow for a heat sink to provide different loading forces onto different CPUs. Such an approach can allow for the same heat sink to be utilized for different CPUs (e.g., that may have to have different loading forces in order to provide optimal thermal performance). Such an approach can allow for a single heat sink design to be utilized with different CPUs, reducing design and manufacturing costs as compared with previous approaches. [0065] In the foregoing detailed description of the disclosure, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration how examples of the disclosure may be practiced. These examples are described in sufficient detail to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to practice the examples of this disclosure, and it is to be understood that other examples may be utilized and that process, electrical, and/or structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Further, as used herein, “a” can refer to one such thing or more than one such thing. [0066] The figures herein follow a numbering convention in which the first digit corresponds to the drawing figure number and the remaining digits identify an element or component in the drawing. For example, reference numeral 102 may refer to element 102 in FIG.1A and an analogous element may be identified by reference numeral 202 in FIG.2A. Elements shown in the various figures herein can be added, exchanged, and/or eliminated to provide additional examples of the disclosure. In addition, the proportion and the relative scale of the elements provided in the figures are intended to illustrate the examples of the disclosure, and should not be taken in a limiting sense. [0067] It can be understood that when an element is referred to as being "on," "connected to", “coupled to”, or "coupled with" another element, it can be directly on, connected, or coupled with the other element or intervening elements may be present. In contrast, when an object is “directly coupled to” or “directly coupled with” another element it is understood that are no intervening elements (adhesives, screws, other elements) etc. [0068] The above specification, examples and data provide a description of the method and applications, and use of the system and method of the disclosure. Since many examples can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the system and method of the disclosure, this specification merely sets forth some of the many possible example configurations and implementations.
