               This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the            
          examiner's final rejection of claims 1-42 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 (lack of
