          Appeal No. 1998-3289                                                        
          Application 08/362,167                                                      


               The examiner does not dispute the characterization in                  
          appellants’ tabulation (main brief, page 5) to the effect that              
          the reference teachings are “silent” with respect to the                    
          parameters D, T, and L and any relationship therebetween.                   
          Instead, the examiner asserts (answer, page 4), for example,                
          that the relationship set forth in claim 1 is disclosed when                
          each of the reference drawings (not to scale) has been                      
          “measured by a ruler”, since “it would appear that this                     
          relationship is
