          invention can                                                               


          be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, a copy of                   
          which appears in the appendix to the brief.                                 

               The following rejection is the sole rejection before us                
          for review.                                                                 

               Claims 1 through 13 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,              
          second paragraph, as being indefinite.                                      

               The full text of the examiner's rejection and response to              
          the argument presented by appellants appears in the answer

          argument can be found in the brief (Paper No. 14).

               In reaching our conclusion on the indefiniteness issue                 
          raised in this appeal, this panel of the board has carefully                
          considered appellants’ specification, drawing, and claims,2
