          Appeal No. 1997-2917                                                        
          Application No. 08/351,697                                                  


          in an alcohol, in an alcohol amine, such as monoethanolamine.               
          See column 9, lines 38-66.  The alcohol amine is useful in                  
          rendering insoluble or hardly soluble metal alkoxides used in               
          making a superconductor soluble.  See column 10, lines 5-17.                
          The dissolved metal alkoxides are hydrolyzed and sintered to                
          form a superconductor having excellent superconducting                      
          characteristics.  See column 9, lines 38-46 and column 10,                  
          lines 19-36.  According to Kobayashi (column 22, lines 56-59):              
                    There is no particular restriction as to                          
               the sintering conditions (such as the temperature,                     
               the number of times and the atmosphere).                               
               However, it is usual to employ a temperature                           
               of from 700E to 950EC . . . .
