          Appeal No. 95-1195                                                           
          Application No. 08/102,674                                                   


          and determine if it is a precision part or a generic part.                   
          Likewise, there is no disclosure of what constitutes                         
          significant distortion and what constitutes insignificant                    
          distortion" (page 9 of Answer).  Here, we also agree with                    
          appellant that when the criticized claim language is read in                 
          light of the specification by one of ordinary skill in the                   
          art, there is sufficient description in the specification to                 
          allow the skilled artisan to reasonably ascertain the metes                  
          and bounds of the claimed terms "precision" and "significant."               
          In essence, we agree with appellant's argument stated at page                
          6, second paragraph, of the principal Brief.                                 
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's                   
          decision rejecting the appealed claims is reversed.
