What a reference teaches a person of ordinary skill is not "limited to what a reference specifically 'talks about' or what is specifically 'mentioned' or 'written' in the reference." Syntex (U.S.A.) LLC v. Apotex, Inc., 407 F.3d 1371, 1380 (Fed. Cir. 2005). In short, one skilled in the art is able to read a reference for all that it teaches and not limit a reference to its explicit text or a preferred embodiment. See Beckman Instruments, Inc. v. LKB  AB, 892 F.2d 1547, 1551 (Fed. Cir. 1989); see also In re Chapman, 357 F.2d 418, 424 (CCPA 1966) ("A reference can be used for all it realistically teaches, and is not limited to the disclosures in its specific illustrative examples.").
