          Application 08/356,227                                                      



          187 USPQ 664, 667 (CCPA 1975), citing Martin v. Johnson,

                    [e]nablement is the criterion, and every                          
                    detail need not be set forth in the written                       
                    specification if the skill in the art is such                     
                    that the disclosure enables one to make the                       
                    invention.                                                        


                    For the above reasons, we will not sustain the                    
          examiner's rejection of claim 18 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first               
          paragraph, as being directed to a non-enabling disclosure.                  





                    The decision of the examiner is reversed.
