OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we considered
the subject matter on appeal and the rejections advanced by
the examiner. Furthermore, we duly considered the arguments
and evidence of the appellant and examiner. After considering
the totality of the record, we find that claims 1-11 as
presently claimed, lack an written description under 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, ¶ 1, and are indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 2. We
also find that the rejection of claims 1-11 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 is inappropriate. We are persuaded, moreover, that the
examiner erred in rejecting claims 12-20. Accordingly, we
reverse and enter new grounds of rejection under 37 C.F.R. §
