1Opinion of the Court
GAJARSA, Circuit Judge.
The Plaintiffs-Appellants, Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc., Guidant Sales Corp., and Eli Lilly and Co. (together “Cardiac Pacemakers”), appeal an Order of Partial Final Judgment by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana that claims 1-14 of United States Patent No. 4,572,191 (the “2C191 patent”) are invalid for indefiniteness under 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 2. Because the district court properly determined that the specification of the '191 Patent fails to disclose structure corresponding to the “third monitoring means” limitation, we affirm.
