          Appeal No. 2001-2204                                                        
          Application No. 09/155,413                                                  

          through 54 and column 4, lines 23 through 26).  While as earlier            
          pointed out, we fully appreciate the examiner's concern as to               
          perceived deficiencies in appellant's disclosure, the latter                
          documents fairly reveal a level of skill to this panel of the               
          Board that would have permitted practitioners in the art to use             
          the present disclosure to make and use the claimed method and               
          apparatus without undue experimentation.  Thus, it appears to us            
          that those skilled in this art would have been well capable of              
          analyzing obtained data to determine a configuration of each                
          tooth on a blank, contrary to the examiner's point of view                  
          (answer, page 3).  For the preceding reasons, we cannot support             
          the rejection on appeal.
