                            2The instant specification, at page 5, refers to a "suitable" type of glue.  Original claim 7 set forth                                 
                   a "silicon" type glue.  Although we are familiar with the art only to the extent of our study of the instant                                     
                   disclosure and the applied references, we speculate that appellant’s intent is to claim a "silicone" type                                        
                   glue.
