Appeal No. 1998-0632
Application 08/301,812
for easy nozzle adjustment for the right amount of fluid and
bubbles inside a container, thereby to provide an automatic
alarm if one of the nozzles on the carousel is off
calibration." Also as noted in the objects at page 4 of the
specification as filed, the system permits a prediction of the
final fluid level and the amount of dissolved gasses in
containers while they move on a production line as well as to
predict a liquid's viscosity as a function of the rate bubbles
in the liquid are dissolving.
Appellants' specification relies upon their own prior
patent in part to provide some of the methodologies in which
these processing actions are effected. The specification also
makes mention, such as at page 9, of another prior patent U.S.
5,204,911, issued on April 20, 1993, as well as a prior art
image procesor for embodying the image processor 213 in Figure
2. Our study of this specification and drawings as filed
leads us to conclude that the examiner has not provided a
sufficient basis within 35 U.S.C. § 112, paragraph one, to
question the adequacy of the disclosure as a whole, such that
it would require the artisan undue amounts of experimentation
