Given the absence of a specific description as to how Nagashimada’s device functions when using digital displays or clocks, we are not persuaded that Nagashimada’s disclosure of using digital displays or clocks demonstrates that its device makes an actual wait-time determination as Appellants’ claims 1 and 10 require, as opposed to the actually described determination of consistent absorbency readings, discussed above. See In re Brink, 419 F.2d 914, 917 (CCPA 1970) (“[I]f a reference is ambiguous and can be interpreted so that it may or may no[t] constitute an anticipation of an appellant’s claims, an anticipation rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102 based upon the ambiguous reference is improper.”); see also Richardson v. Suzuki Motor Co., Ltd., 868 F.2d 1226, 1236 (Fed. Cir. 1989) (For a reference to anticipate a claim, “[e]very element of the claimed invention must be literally present, arranged as in the claim.”).
