          Appeal No. 95-3876                                                           
          Application 08/222,009                                                       

          applicants' burden to precisely define the invention".                       
          Morris, 127 F.3d at 1056, 44 USPQ2d at 1029.  The fact that                  
          Appellants failed in their burden to link these claim elements               
          adequately does not derogate from the sufficiency of the                     
          linkage for the claimed control means.
