          Appeal No. 1999-0527                                                        
          Application No. 08/801,837                                                  

               The following rejections are before us for review.                     

               Claims 1 through 9 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,               
          first paragraph, as being based upon a description in a                     
          specification which would not enable one skilled in the art to              
          make and/or use the invention.                                              

               Claims 1 through 9 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,               
          second paragraph, as being indefinite.                                      

               The full text of the examiner’s rejections and response to             
          the argument presented by appellants appears in the answer (Paper           
          No. 10), while the complete statement of appellants’ argument can           
          be found in the main and reply briefs (Paper Nos. 9 and 11).                

               Appellants indicate that claims 1 through 9 stand or fall              
          together.  Accordingly, we select claim 1 for review, infra, and            
          the remaining claims shall stand or fall therewith.                         





                                          2
