- wherein the first non-circular, elliptical outer edge has a first aspect ratio, a first major axis and a first minor axis,
- wherein the second non-circular, elliptical outer edge has a second aspect ratio, a second major axis and a second minor axis, the second major axis being equal to the first major axis plus a predetermined distance and the second minor axis being equal to the first minor axis plus the predetermined distance,
- wherein the first aspect ratio is greater than the second aspect ratio, and
- wherein the first aspect ratio is greater than 1.4 and less than 4.2.
