Application 08/017,977
invention”).
As discussed above, appellants disclose how to monitor and
determine the amount of oxygen added to the conventional
sputtering or evaporation method to achieve the desired ratio of
oxygen to aluminum with improved results. Appellants disclose
that what is important is the formation of an aluminum oxide
interdispersed within the aluminum such that this oxide bears an
oxygen to aluminum atomic ratio of between 1.3 and 2.0. This is
clearly set forth in the claims on appeal.
For the foregoing reasons, it is clear that the claims do,
when read in light of the specification, reasonably apprise one
of ordinary skill in the pertinent art of their scope.
