            Application No. 08/353,791                                                                  
            Hackh’s Chemical Dictionary,  4th ed., p. 448 (1969).                                       
                                           THE REJECTIONS                                               


                                            OPINION                                                     
                  We agree with the appellant that none of the rejections of record are well            
            founded.  Accordingly, we do not sustain these rejections.                                  
                     § 112                                                                              


                                                                                     However, the       
            specification unequivocally states that “when the positive electrode was carbon,            
            carbon dioxide was generated.”  See specification, page 6.  Furthermore, the                
            appellant explains that the percentage of oxygen produced at the anode which reacts         
            with the carbon of the electrode to produce carbon dioxide approaches 100                   
            percent.  Id.
