Claim 1 is directed to an apparatus. As such, the limitations in claim 1 directed to the operating conditions within the apparatus are only meaningful to the extent they serve to differentiate the claimed apparatus structure from the prior art apparatus structure. See Burr v. Duryee, 68 U.S. 531, 570 (1863) ("A machine is a concrete thing, consisting of parts, or of certain devices and combination of devices."); In re Gardiner, 171 F.2d 313, 315-16 ( CCP A 1948) ("It is trite to state that the patentability of apparatus claims must be shown in the structure claimed and not merely upon a use, function, or result thereof."); In re Casey, 370 F.2d 576, 580 (CCPA 1967) ("The claims in issue call for an apparatus or machine, viz. a tape dispensing machine. The manner or method in which such machine is to be utilized is not germane to the issue of patentability of the machine itself."); In re Hack, 245 F.2d 246, 248 (CCPA 1957) ("These cases are merely expressive of the principle that the grant of a patent on a composition or machine cannot be predicated on a new use of that machine or composition.").

The Examiner correctly indicates that the substitution of one known element for a known equivalent is prima facie obvious (see Ans. 14 ). See In re Mayne, 104 F.3d 1339, 1340 (Fed. Cir. 1997). However, the Examiner fails to appreciate that the burden is on the Examiner to first provide evidence establishing that compounds are well-known equivalents/or a specific purpose. See In re 
Christensen, 82 F.2d 715, 716 (CCPA 1936); see also Graver Tank & Mfg. Co. v. Linde Air Prods. Co., 339 U.S. 605, 609 (1950) ("In determining equivalents, things equal to the same thing may not be equal to each other .... Consideration must be given to the purpose for which an ingredient is used in a patent ... and the function which it is intended to perform.").

 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.
