                  [20] Example 1 of Miranda is said to compare the ability of three                                
                       formulations to impart anti-skid or friction properties to paper (id.,                      
                       17:4-7).

                  [22] The three formulations of Example 1 were said to show slide angle                           
                       losses through the winder (i.e., "skidding") of 3.3, 1.4 and 0.4 degrees,                   
                       respectively (id., 18:22-26; Table 1).                                                      
                  [23] Example 2 is said to show the printability indices of the three                             
                       formulations of Example 1 as averaging 35, 41 and 40, respectively,                         
                       with formulation 2 showing the highest average printability index (id.,                     
                       Table 2).

                       form deposits on tips of spray bars used in mill applications after one                     
                       hour of spraying (id., 19:26-30 and 20:4).
