Application 08/681,898
that the container is reduced in transverse dimensions thereby
indicating that the walls of the container move inward upon
the application of the magnetic force. (see specification at
pages 5 and 6). The specification also discloses in
connection with the first embodiment depicted in figure 1 that
the magnetic pressure acts inwardly upon the electrically
conductive container 38 so that the transverse dimensions of
the container are reduced (see specification at page 8). In
connection with the tubular container depicted in figure 2,
the specification also indicates that the magnetic pressure
acts upon the tubular member and causes reduction of the
transverse dimensions of the tubular member thereby also
indicating that the walls of that container move inward. (See
specification at pages 9 and 10). The specification and it’s
explanation of the embodiment depicted in Figures 3 through 7,
in which there is a predetermined stand-off distance states:
. . . magnetic pressure is applied upon the electrically
conductive container 100'. This pressure acts similarly
upon the electrically conductive container 100', and the
transverse dimensions of the electrically conductive
container 100' are reduced (specification at page 12).
The specification also states that the process and operation
