Our reviewing court has held that a “programmed machine is structurally different from a machine without that program.” In re Noll, 545 F.2d 141, 149 (CCPA 1976); see also In re Bernhart, 417 F.2d 1395, 1399—1400 (CCPA 1969) (“[I]f a machine is programmed in a certain new and unobvious way, it is physically different from the machine without that program; its memory elements are differently arranged. The fact that these physical changes are invisible to the eye should not tempt us to conclude that the machine has not been changed.”). 

Noll, In re, 545 F.2d 141, 191 USPQ 721 (CCPA 1976) 2163 , 2181 , 2184
