We agree with the Examiner that when given its broadest reasonable interpretation, the phrase in question “an adjustment assembly configured to position the actuator assembly relative to the body in the second position” encompasses any adjustment assembly capable of so positioning the actuator assembly. See e.g., Aspex Eyewear, Inc. v. Marchon Eyewear, Inc., 672 F. 3d 1335, 1349 (Fed. Cir. 2012). Appellants have not apprised us of any reason “configured to” should be construed more narrowly. Appellants chose to define how the adjustment assembly is configured by what it does.

Further, the combination of elements from the asserted prior art is reasonably expected to maintain their respective properties or functions after they are combined. See Sundance, Inc. v. DeMonte Fabricating Ltd., 550 F.3d 1356 (Fed. Cir. 2008).
