The following rejections are before us for review.
1. Claim 49 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly
point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which
appellants regard as the invention.
Sahatjian was cited by the examiner in Paper No. 6 and a copy thereof2
is of record in the application file. The Lentz patents were cited by
appellants in Paper No. 4.
