          Appeal No. 96-2871                                                          
          Application 08/352,964                                                      


          recitations.                                                                
               Appellants argue on pages 8 and 9 of the brief that “one               
          of ordinary skill would clearly understand the meaning of                   
          mounting a speaker coaxially with the aperture so that the                  
          direction of speaker cone movement is essentially along the                 
          axis of the aperture” (emphasis added); that “it is easily                  
          ascertainable whether a barrier substantially encloses the                  
          rear of a speaker                                                           
          by examining whether exteriorly generated noises are                        
          excluded.” (emphasis added); that “it is easily ascertainable               
          whether an                                                                  
          air gap substantially prevents pressurization by examining its              
          effect upon the low frequency output of a speaker.” (emphasis               
          added); that “it is easily ascertainable whether a foot print               
          substantially coincides with the aperture by ascertaining                   
          whether such transmission paths are excluded.” (emphasis                    
          added); and that “it is easily ascertainable whether a flow                 
          path is substantially perpendicular to the axis by examining                
          whether such transmission paths are excluded.” (emphasis                    
          added).                                                                     
               Appellants’ specification is of no help in determining                 
                                          6
