In any event, we are not persuaded that the instant claim language is satisfied by a device that is merely “capable of’ performing the claimed function. The Federal Circuit, in the case of Aspex Eyewear, Inc. v. Marchon Eyewear, Inc., 672 F.3d 1335 (Fed. Cir. 2012) drew a distinction between devices that are merely “capable of’ and those that are “configured to,” with the latter requiring a narrower construction. See also Boston Scientific Corp. v. Cordis Corp., 2006 WL 3782840 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 20, 2006) (construing “adapted to,” in light of patent as a whole, to mean “configured to,” not merely “capable of’). Thus, we are not persuaded that the Examiner’s findings of fact are supported by a preponderance of the evidence.
