Here, neither party has identified intrinsic evidence to aid in the construction of “conduit,” and we have identified no such evidence in conflict with the construction provided by the combined dictionary definitions discussed above. See Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1322–23 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (stating that judges may “‘rely on dictionary definitions when construing claim terms, so long as the dictionary definition does not contradict any definition found in or ascertained by a reading of the patent documents’”) (quoting Vitronics Corp. v. Conceptronic, Inc., 90 F.3d 1576, 1584 n.6 (Fed. Cir. 1996)).
