          Appeal No. 1998-1125                                       Page 6           
          Application No. 08/410,247                                                  


          appellants’ definition of "azeotropic."  This expansive                     
          definition of "azeotropic" is in accord with appellants’ use                
          of components of "normal commercial purity (i.e., at least                  
          95%)" (specification, page 6, lines 8-10) in forming their so               
          called azeotropic composition.  Also see appellants’ brief,                 
          page 4, lines 3-11.                                                         
               Since we find appellants’ claims reasonably definite, we               
          will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of the appealed                   
          claims under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph.
