Appeal No. 97-0690
Application No. 08/375,094
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to appellant’s specification and claims,
to the applied prior art references, and to the respective
positions articulated by appellant and the examiner. As a
consequence of our review, we have made the determinations which
follow.
We turn first to the examiner's rejection of appealed
claims
1 through 10 and 15 through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
paragraph. After reviewing appellant’s specification and
claims, and appellant’s arguments on pages 6-8 of the brief, it
is our opinion that the scope and content of the subject matter
embraced
by appellant’s independent claims 1 and 15 on appeal are
reasonably clear and fulfill the requirement of 35 U.S.C. § 112,
second paragraph, that they provide those who would endeavor, in
future enterprise, to approach the area circumscribed by the
claims, with the adequate notice demanded by due process of law,
