examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:

Amoils 4,513,745 Apr. 30, 1985
Claim 6 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph, as containing subject matter which was not described
in the specification in such a way as to enable one skilled in
the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly
connected, to make and/or use the invention.
Claims 1 through 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly
point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which appellant
regards as the invention.
