          Reissue Application No. 07/837,588                                          


          87, 88, 90-107, 109, 110, and 112-120.  Accordingly, we                     
          affirm-in-part.  Our opinion addresses the following issues                 
          seriatim:                                                                   
               •    grouping of the claims                                            
               •    specifying of a reissue error.                                    
          We first address the grouping of the claims.                                


                               Grouping of the Claims                                 
               The appellant states that claims 35-74, 76-85, 87, 88,                 
          90-107, 109, 110, and 112-144 should be considered as standing              
          or falling together in the following groups for the appeal:                 
               •    claims 35-74 and 76                                               
               •    claims 77-85, 87, 88, 90-107, 109, 110, and 112-120               
               •    claims 121-144.                                                   
          (Appeal Br. at 5.)  Therefore, the claims stand or fall                     
          together in these groups.  Next, we address the specifying of               
          a reissue error.                                                            





                            Specifying of a Reissue Error
