However, Specification paragraph 9 states "the noted plurality of drawings [are] by way of non-limiting examples" (emphasis added). Therefore, it would be improper to use the drawings to limit the definition of the "virtual power delivery network" as Appellants have argued. "[A]lthough the specification often describes very specific embodiments of the invention, we have repeatedly warned against confining the claims to those embodiments. .  [C]laims may embrace different subject matter than is illustrated in the specific embodiments in the specification." Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1323 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (en banc) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted). Rather, "[i]t is the claims that measure the invention." SRI Int'l v. Matsushita Elec. Corp. of Am., 775 F.2d 1107, 1121 (Fed. Cir. 1985) (en banc) (citations omitted).
