The first sentence of the paragraph highlight by Appellant provides: “In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention, fuel regulator system 39 includes both the primary and secondary regulators, or a custom single regulator, but in any case is located remotely, or off-board, from dual fuel generator 20.” Spec. ¶ 25 (emphasis added). We view the use of “or” in this passage—similar to the use of “i.e.”—as clearly setting forth a definition of the term “off-board,” as well as expressing an intent to explain the use of that term. See Luminara Worldwide, LLC v. Liown Elecs. Co., 814 F.3d 1343, 1353 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (“To act as a lexicographer, a patentee must ‘clearly set forth a definition of the disputed claim term’ and ‘clearly express an intent to redefine the term.’” (quoting Thorner v. Sony Computer Entm’t Am. LLC, 669 F.3d 1362, 1365 (Fed. Cir. 2012))); Edwards Lifesciences LLC v. Cook Inc., 582 F.3d 1322, 1334 (Fed. Cir. 2009) (“[U]se of ‘i.e.’ signals an intent to define the word to which it refers.”).

Thorner v. Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC, 669 F.3d 1362, 101 USPQ2d 1457 (Fed. Cir. 2012) 2111.01
