If “connector” excludes “adhesive,” then the subsequent limitation referring to “lesser strength adhesives” is an optional limitation that does not further limit the claim. See In re Johnston, 435 F.3d 1381, 1384 (Fed. Cir. 2006) (“optional elements do not narrow the claim because they can always be omitted”).
