          Appeal No. 95-1217                                                          
          Application 08/039,674                                                      


          claim 3.  A person of ordinary skill in the art would                       
          understand that claim 3 requires the determination of the                   
          ratio even though the determination of the ratio is not                     
          separately recited.  The rejection is therefore reversed.                   
               The Examiner rejected claims 7 through 11 on the grounds               
          that the phrases such as "relatively dark", "relatively                     
          light",                                                                     




          and "lighter" are vague and indefinite as used in the claims.               
          In the Examiner’s view, it is not clear what the criteria are               


















                                         12
