Although a claim must not be interpreted in a way which is
illogical or does not make any sense, the description cannot be
used to give a different meaning to a claim feature which in
itself imparts a clear credible technical teaching to the
skilled reader. This also applies if the feature has not been
initially disclosed in the form appearing in the claim (see
point 3.8 of the Reasons).
