          Appeal No. 1999-1779                                                        
          Application No. 08/480,561                                                  


               We will not sustain the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112,               
          second paragraph.                                                           
                       The Rejection Under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)                         
               It is the examiner’s position that “to the limited                     
          extent understood,” claims 1-7, 19 and 20 are anticipated by                
          Bardocz (final rejection, page 3).  It is axiomatic that                    
          anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is established only when              
          a single prior
