As an initial matter, we reject the Examiner's position that the limitations of claims 1, 9, and 18 reciting structure "configured to" send data and, in claims 1 and 18, to also send a "request for standardization," are not "limitation[ s] of the claimed processor but rather [are statements of] intended use and as such does not further limit the claim." Final Act. 2. When claimed functional language is associated with programming or some other structure required to perform the function, that programming or structure cannot be ignored by the Examiner when applying the prior art. See, e.g., Typhoon Touch Techs., Inc. v. Dell, Inc., 659 F.3d 1376, 1380 (Fed. Cir. 2011) (discussing Microprocessor Enhancement Corp. v. Tex. Instruments, Inc., 520 F.3d 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2008)).
