We agree with the Examiner. Nothing in these claim limitations suggests that the “generator” limitations necessarily “exist in some physical or tangible form,” as required for each of the statutory categories except process claims. See Digitech Image Techs., LLC v. Elecs. for Imaging, Inc., 758 F.3d 1344, 1348–49 (Fed. Cir. 2014) (defining a machine, manufacture, and composition of matter under § 101) (citation omitted).
