             Application 09/838,866                                                                            
                   We further remand the application for the Examiner to consider whether                      
             “improved vibration damping and stiffness” in the Appellant’s independent claims                  
             is indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, due to failure of the claim to             
             indicate with respect to what the vibration damping and stiffness are improved.                   
                                                 DECISION
