                  Application No. 08/372,429                                                                               

                                                        Summary                                                            
                         We reverse the rejection under 35 U.S.C § 112, first paragraph, because                           
                  the examiner has not met his burden of showing that the presumptively enabling                           
                  specification is inadequate to teach those skilled in the art how to practice the                        
                  claimed method.
