We do not agree with the Examiner’s reasoning. First, although a reference can anticipate without a specific example directed to the claimed invention, that exception to the general rule of anticipation is a limited one. See In re Petering, 301 F.2d 676, 681-82 (CCPA 1962) (A disclosure that allows one skilled in the art to “at once envisage each member of [a] limited class” describes each member of the class “as if [the reference] had drawn each structural formula or had written each name.”). It does not apply to a situation where, as here, limitations must be selected from different parts of a reference that are not clearly associated with each other, and where a further choice must be made from among a list of numerous possible components.

Petering, In re, 301 F.2d 676, 133 USPQ 275 (CCPA 1962) 2131.02, 2131.03, 2144.08

The “principle of operation” referred to by Appellants relates to the “basic principles” under which the prior art device was designed to operate. In re Ratti, 270 F.2d 810, 813 (CCPA 1959). Under In re Ratti, “a change in the basic principles” refers to change that is fundamental in scope so as to relate to scientific or technical principles under which the invention is designed to operate. We are not persuaded that a “change in the basic principles” occurs by making Liang ’955’s exhaust orifices 48 smaller when Liang ’955’s device, even as modified by Parker, continues to exhaust cooling fluids.

A change in the principle of operation of the primary reference can, in some circumstances, render a modification nonobvious. For example, a modification suggested by an examiner was considered to be nonobvious where the modification (1) necessitated a substantial reconstruction of the primary reference, and (2) changed the basic principles under which the primary reference was designed to operate. In re Ratti, 270 F.2d 810, 811-13 (CCPA 1959) (“This suggested combination of references would require a substantial reconstruction and redesign of the elements shown in [the primary reference] as well as a change in the basic principles under which the [primary reference] construction was designed to operate.” (emphasis added)).
