(hereinafter "McGraw-Hill Dictionary"), appears in Bai's Figure 3A (reproduced below), which
is described as showing the mass spectrum of the matrix
material "-cyano-4- hydroxycinnamic acid as
measured over the range of mass-to-charge ratios
(m/z) from 188 through 192. Bai Specification at 9, ll.13-
15.
Even if we look to Bai's specification to determine the meaning of "spectrometer," that
fails to support Laiko's contention that the recited "spectrometer" is limited to "mass
spectrometers that produce mass spectra." LOppBr 32, ll. 6-10. Specifically, Laiko cites page 1,
lines 19-27, of Bai's specification, which explain that a "mass spectrometer generally contains . .
