          Appeal No. 1999-0086                                                        
          Application No. 08/612,820                                                  


          parameters” which effect each positioning move.  Similarly, as              
          disclosed by Niwa in relation to the positioning operations                 
          for machining a corner of a workpiece as illustrated in the                 
          operations of Rules 1 and 2 in Figures 17(a) and 17(b), the                 
          distances, feedrates, and corner bevel angles are all                       
          parameters which effect the positioning of the tool.  Further,              
          in our opinion, the turning and milling operations                          
          specifically disclosed by Niwa are machining operations which               
          “produce each part from said worksheet” as broadly set forth                
          in appealed claim 1.
