          Appeal No. 95-0633                                                          
          Application 07/728,426                                                      


          of the invention clearer to the artisan.  The examiner’s                    
          concern about the breadth of the term providing should not be               
          equated with indefiniteness.  Breadth and indefiniteness are                
          two different concepts.  We are of the view that the artisan                
          who has read the disclosure of this application would clearly               
          understand the metes and bounds of the claimed invention.                   
          Therefore, we do not sustain the rejection of claims 22-25                  
          under 35 U.S.C. § 112.                                                      




          In summary, we have not sustained either of the                             
          examiner’s rejections of claims 22-25.  Therefore, the                      
          decision of the examiner rejecting claims 22-25 is reversed.                
          REVERSED
