Claim 1 is directed to an apparatus. As such, the limitations in claim 1 directed to the operating conditions within the apparatus are only meaningful to the extent they serve to differentiate the claimed apparatus structure from the prior art apparatus structure. See Burr v. Duryee, 68 U.S. 531, 570 (1863) ("A machine is a concrete thing, consisting of parts, or of certain devices and combination of devices."); In re Gardiner, 171 F.2d 313, 315-16 ( CCP A 1948) ("It is trite to state that the patentability of apparatus claims must be shown in the structure claimed and not merely upon a use, function, or result thereof."); In re Casey, 370 F.2d 576, 580 (CCPA 1967) ("The claims in issue call for an apparatus or machine, viz. a tape dispensing machine. The manner or method in which such machine is to be utilized is not germane to the issue of patentability of the machine itself."); In re Hack, 245 F.2d 246, 248 (CCPA 1957) ("These cases are merely expressive of the principle that the grant of a patent on a composition or machine cannot be predicated on a new use of that machine or composition.").
