          Appeal No. 95-4221                                         Page 4           
          Application No. 08/086,569                                                  
          language model 1010.  The other portion (8:53-54) specifically              
          addresses fenemic recognition to correct errors caused by                   
          coarticulation.  Although Appellants' claims do not exclude                 
          fenemic recognition, fenemic recognition is distinct from                   
          Appellants' claimed subject matter.  Consequently, we do not                
          find Bahl to have anticipated any of the claims on appeal.                  
                                      DECISION                                        
               The rejection of claims 4-8 under subsection 102(e) over               
          Bahl is
