                 Application No.  10/164,863                                                                             
                 appellants’ claimed invention could not be practiced without undue                                      
                 experimentation based on appellants’ disclosure.                                                        
                        For the foregoing reasons, we find the examiner failed to meet his burden                        
                 of setting forth a prima facie case of lack of enablement.  Accordingly, we reverse                     
                 the rejection based on the enablement provision of 35 U.S.C. § 112, first                               
                 paragraph.                                                                                              


                                                     SUMMARY                                                             
                        We reverse the rejection of claims 1-9 and 11-16 under the written                               
                 description provision of 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph.
