          Appeal No. 95-2783                                         Page 6           
          Application 08/026,504                                                      
          B.   Enablement                                                             
               5.   Since our affirmance of the indefiniteness rejection              
          disposes of all claims on appeal, we need not separately reach              
          the merits of the enablement rejection.  Moreover, the stated               
          Rule 196(c) amendment will cure the problem underlying this                 
          rejection.                                                                  


                         DECISION AND RULE 196(c) STATEMENT                           
               The examiner's rejection of claims 1-5 under section 112 as            
          indefinite is affirmed.  Claims 1-5 may be allowed if claim 1 is            
          amended to recite the formula (2) element as follows:                       


                          "0.4 fw/mm < f3/f2 < 0.8 fw/mm".                            


          We set a time period in which Appellant may file an amendment for           
          the purpose stated in section 1.196(c) to expire two months from            
          the date of this decision.  No time period for taking subsequent
