| | On-Line Technologies, Inc. v. Bodenseewerk Perkin-Elmer GMBH, et al. |
 | | The district court’s grant of summary judgment of noninfringement as to claim 1 of the ’143 patent was premised on the court’s claim construction. |
 | | The district court interpreted the reference in the specification to a “contour that approaches toroidal,” ’143 patent, col. 4, line 12, as indicating that the recited surface could include a surface that approximates a toroidal shape, but could not include the toroidal shape itself. |
 | | On appeal, On-Line argues that although the use of the Norton 301-T igniter as a high-intensity infrared radiation source was known, its use for that purpose in connection with a long-path gas cell was not. |
