CLR II E 2.4.3 Deletion of examples for a general feature in a claim

Error message

Deprecated function: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

Deprecated function: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $nid is implicitly treated as a required parameter in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

The board in T 1052/01 took the view that deleting examples given in claim 1 as granted (here "valve, restrictor, etc.") for a general feature (here "hydraulic functional unit") did not extend the protection conferred, as these examples were embraced by the general feature which determined the extent of the protection conferred.
