The appellant's invention relates to a wet gas stripper
which utilizes a liquid spray for separating entrained
particulate matter from a moving gas stream (specification, p.
1). A copy of claim 1 under appeal appears in the appendix to
the appellant's reply brief (Paper No. 16, filed July 20,
1998). A copy of claims 3 to 10 under appeal is set forth in
the appendix to the appellant's brief (Paper No. 14, filed
April 9, 1998).
The prior art reference of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:
Clark 2,802,543 Aug. 13,

Claims 1 and 3 to 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
112, second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to
particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter
which the appellant regards as the invention.
