constructed to absorb laser energy. Claims 1, 10 and 16 are
representative of the subject matter on appeal and a copy of
those claims, as they appear in the appendix to the appellant's

The prior art of record relied upon by the examiner as
evidence of obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are:

The absorptive materials admitted on page 7 of the specification
to be well known
Claims 1 through 7 and 10 through 22 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as failing to adequately teach
how to make and/or use the invention, i.e., failing to provide an
enabling disclosure, and failing to provide a written description
of the invention.
Claims 1 through 7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
