               Appeal 2007-2929                                                                             
               Application 10/615,389                                                                       

               in light of the Appellants’ Specification, encompasses radiation having a                    
               mathematically undefined frequency.                                                          
                      For the above reasons we reverse the Examiner’s rejection under                       
               35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, enablement requirement.                                    
                            Rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112, fourth paragraph                               
                      The Examiner rejects claims 39 and 41 because they depend from                        
               canceled claim 1 (Ans. 3).  The Appellants do not contest that rejection but,                
               rather, request a statement under 37 C.F.R. § 41.50(c) that the rejection can                
               be overcome by amending claim 39 to depend from claim 3 (Br. 6).                             
               Accordingly, we summarily affirm the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112,                        
               fourth paragraph.                                                                            
                                   Statement under 37 C.F.R. § 41.50(c)                                     
                      The Appellants may overcome the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112,                      
               fourth paragraph, as to both claims 39 and 41 by amending claim 39 to                        
               depend from claim 3.                                                                         
                                                DECISION                                                    
                      The rejection of claims 2-12, 28-34, 39, 41 and 45-79 under                           
               35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, enablement requirement, is reversed.  The                  
               rejection of claims 39 and 41 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, fourth paragraph, as                    
               being dependent from a canceled claim, is affirmed.  A statement under                       
               37 C.F.R. § 41.50(c) has been entered.
