                       A rejection for anticipation under section 102 requires that the four corners                                 
               of a single prior art document describe every element of the claimed invention,                                       
               either expressly or inherently, such that a person of ordinary skill in the art could                                 
               practice the invention without undue experimentation.  In re Paulsen, 30 F.3d
