          Appeal No. 2002-0009                                                        
          Application 09/032,554                                                      

          be utilized for achieving the main goals of this invention” and             
          that the examples described in the specification are “simply the            
          most preferred embodiments at this time.” Thus, we find nothing             
          in the specification which unambiguously limits appellants’                 
          invention to a scroll compressor like that shown in Figures 1A              
          and 1B, and conclude that one of ordinary skill in the art would            
          have viewed appellants’ venting system described in the                     
          specification as being of general applicability to scroll                   
          compressors.                                                                
















                                          8
