THE REJECTIONS
Claim 17 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph, as containing subject matter which was not described
in the specification in such a way as to reasonably convey to
one skilled in the relevant art that the inventors, at the time
the application was filed, had possession of the claimed
invention.
2An amendment to claim 6 was after the final rejection
was entered by the examiner, but it failed to overcome any of
the rejections.
