 Claim 1 also includes functional language. For example, the claim recites that "said image processor processes image data captured by said camera." We construe this limitation to be a recitation of the capability of the image processor, i.e., that the image processor is operable to process the image data. For other similar limitations (i.e., those tied to a structure), we similarly interpret them as functional recitations of what the structure is operable to do. See Mastermine Software, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., 874 F.3d 1307, 1315-16 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (distinguishing between an apparatus with functional language and a mixed apparatus and method claim).

...

Appellants' arguments have injected ambiguity into the claim. In particular, Appellants' arguments are part of the prosecution history, and it is unclear whether ( and to what degree) these arguments have added a requirement to claim 1 that the system be operable to perform the fusing limitation. See Trivascular, Inc. v. Samuels, 812 F.3d 1056, 1062 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (In the context of an inter partes review proceeding, the Federal Circuit held: "Under a broadest reasonable interpretation, words of the claim must be given their plain meaning, unless such meaning is inconsistent with the specification and prosecution history."). In the context of a pending patent application, such ambiguity is cause for an indefiniteness rejection.

The Examiner argues that Appellant's analogy to McRO is misplaced, because the claimed invention does not set forth "'limited rules' used 'in a process specifically designed to achieve an improved 
technological result in conventional industry practice.' .... Rather, the claims are directed solely to the mathematical algorithm without any additional steps applying the result." Ans. 6; (citing McRO, 837 F.3d at 1316). We disagree with the Examiner, because the claimed removal of a plane of data is subsequently applied to Appellant's interpolation process. After the data removal, Appellant's interpolation function is applied, by its processor, to the reduced input data object, to generate first interpolated input data, and to generate second interpolated input data in order to conformally map a combination of the reduced input data and the first interpolated input data to the output data. As the claim recites, the generation of reduced input data enables greater efficiency in the generation of the second interpolated input data. 

Because we conclude that the judicial exception recited in each independent claim is integrated into the practical application of improving the functioning of a computer, we conclude that the claimed invention is patent-eligible.

The Examiner argues that the definition of a "cell state voltage" proposed by Appellants was not present in the Specification and constitutes new matter. Ans. 2 (citing App. Br. 4--5). We disagree for two reasons. First, we find the Specification, quoted above, provides an express definition of "cell state voltage." Spec. ¶ 9. Second, although the Specification does not mention word lines or bit lines, Appellants contend "[t]his conventional memory cell operation is well understood by one of ordinary skill in view of applicant[s'] specification, particularly in view of paragraph [9]." App. Br. 6. We find this contention persuasive. See Matsunaga ¶¶ 48, 49; Kochar ¶ 23; Sevugapandian, 3:15-38; see also Okajima v. Bourdeau, 261 F.3d 1350, 1355 (Fed. Cir. 2001) ("the level of skill in the art is a prism or lens through which a judge, jury, or the Board views the prior art and the claimed invention" (emphasis added)).
