`As used in the claims, these
`directional references do not
`limit the respective features to
`any particular orientation.
`Instead, they merely serve to
`distinguish these features from
`one another and define positions
`relative to each other. For
`example, the “front” is opposite
`the “back,” and the “top” is
`opposite the “bottom.”

`
`Valve objects to Ironburg’s
`proposed construction of this
`phrase as untimely and
`prejudicial because it was first
`disclosed to Valve as a disputed
`term for construction on the
`November 22 filing
`deadline. As indicated above
`with respect to phrase 2, Valve
`submits that “elongate member”
`is indefinite. Valve contends
`that “inherently resilient and
`flexible” should be given its
