THE REJECTIONS
Claims 1-45 stand 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 the
appellants regard as their invention.
Claims 1-45 also stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Kuhar.
Rather than attempt to reiterate the examiner’s full
commentary with regard to the above-noted rejections and the
conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and the
appellants regarding the rejections, we make reference to the
