Claim 1 recites “[a] multi-stage voltage-to-delay converter for converting input signals into delay signals.” Appeal Br. 9. Claim 1 also recites “wherein timing of the intermediate output signals corresponds to voltages of the input signals” and “wherein timing of the rail-to-rail output signals corresponds to the timing of the intermediate output signals.” Id. The Examiner has not sufficiently explained why the preamble is not necessary to give meaning to these further recitations in claim 1, which relate to the timing of the signals. Pitney Bowes, Inc. v. Hewlett-Packard Co., 182 F.3d 1298, 1305 (Fed. Cir. 1999) (“If the claim preamble, when read in the context of the entire claim, recites limitations of the claim, or, if the claim preamble is ‘necessary to give life, meaning, and vitality’ to the claim, then the claim preamble should be construed as if in the balance of the claim.”).
