in the drawings like numerals describe substantially similar components . now turning to fig1 a is a cross section exploded view of the anchor assembly , showing the probe 5 , cap 200 , and cylinder body 10 , also referred to as an anchor base in this application , assembled with parts that grip the probe . in this embodiment , the radial tabs 20 are elevated relative to the bottom surface of base 10 so that the cylinder body 10 may be recessed into a craniotomy . the cylinder 10 is fixed to the cranium by screws which pass through openings 25 in tabs 20 and secure the tabs to the cranium . in an alternative embodiment , the cylinder may have ridges , protrusions or other surface features ( not shown ) which generate a friction fit with the wall of the craniotomy , in conjunction with or in lieu of the radial tabs . rotating doors 110 and 120 are shown rotated to a position such that the grip bars 70 are positioned to grip the probe 5 . in the section shown in fig1 a , the grip bars 70 are positioned by removable inserts 140 and 150 , which in turn are captured in the doors 110 and 120 by rotating rivets 130 . an upper rivet plate 134 and a lower rivet plate 136 coupled to rivet 130 help lock the inserts into position . a ring - like spacer 16 separates doors 110 and 120 . the cap 200 has legs or pins 220 with catches 225 which snap into receiving sockets 40 within the cylinder 10 . the receiving sockets 40 not only provide fixation for a cap , but also provide a site and mechanism for attaching other instruments to the device . examples of other devices that could be attached thereto include positioning guides or other reference instruments commonly used during neurosurgery . the grip bars 70 may be made of a soft material , for example an elastomer , such as silicone rubber , polyurethane , or santoprene ™, or they may be made of the same material as the doors . grip bars 70 may be porous or have holes running through them to make them compressible . pores could be produced by many methods , including gas bubbles forming during the curing process , dissolving filler materials , or by withdrawing filaments introduced at the time the bars are formed or molded . during implantation , the probe 5 is placed intracranially , and the rotating doors 110 and 120 are rotated to place the grip bars 70 against the probe 5 . the probe 5 is bent to course along a groove 30 on the superior surface of the cylinder 10 , and onto the surface of the cranium . the cap 200 is then lowered so that pins of the cap 220 are inserted into sockets of the cylinder 40 , and the cap presses against the probe 5 . in some embodiments , a groove in the cap 210 wraps around the probe 5 . as the cap is lowered , pins 220 and protrusions from the pins 225 are displaced towards the center of the cylinder by catches 45 , until the protrusions snap outward under the catches , retaining the cap . in other embodiments , the cap may have an elastomeric gasket shaped so as to seal the space between the cap and the base , except for allowing passage for the probe through one set of grooves 30 and 210 . in other embodiments , the elastomeric gasket shall leave all sets of grooves open , and the unused probe passages are filled with separate plugs with radial dimension similar to the probe . fig1 b shows the embodiment of fig1 a with the probe 5 positioned intracranially , and the cap 200 snapped into the closed position . in this embodiment , the tabs 20 are elevated so that cylinder 10 may be recessed in the craniotomy allowing the top of the cylinder to be substantially level with the cranium . such an embodiment has the advantage that the top of the cap extends minimally above the cranium . fig1 c shows an alternative embodiment of the assembly shown in fig1 a - b , in which the cylinder 10 is partially recessed into the cranium . fig1 d shows an alternative embodiment of the assembly shown in fig1 a - 1c , in which the tabs 20 are positioned so that the lower surface of the cylinder 10 is at the level of the outer surface of the cranium . such an embodiment has the advantage that the craniotomy opening need only be as large as the inner lumen of the cylinder 10 . the rotating door grip mechanism provides the particular advantage that if the probe 5 is inserted through the center of the device as shown in fig1 b , the doors may be rotated together , thereby rotating the probe while still retaining vertical fixation . fig1 e illustrates the anchor base or cylinder 10 attached to a patient &# 39 ; s cranium c . in fig1 e , anchor 10 is positioned over a craniotomy so that a portion of the anchor fits within the craniotomy opening in order to reduce the portion of anchor 10 protruding out of the patient &# 39 ; s cranium c . fixtures f such as screws removably couple the anchor 10 to the cranium and a lead 5 is place through the central opening of the anchor 10 into the patient &# 39 ; s brain b . a cover 200 may then be snap fit into engagement with the anchor 10 , thereby capturing the lead 5 in a desired position . fig2 a shows the lower rotating door 120 , apart from the rest of the anchor . the door is a disk with a large cutout 122 within its interior . along one edge of the cutout is a bar 70 which can grip the probe placed in an intracranial position . near the bar is a ledge depressed into the door 80 into which a gripping insert can be placed . the insert is retained from movement towards the open portion of the disk by terminating the depression at two stops 85 . fig2 b shows both rotating doors overlayed , with the both rivets 130 in the open position and both inserts removed . in this configuration a relatively large opening in the center of the anchor is available for the probe or any related test or accessory instrumentation . fig2 c shows the upper rotating door 110 with the rivet 130 in the closed position , and gripping insert 140 in place . the upper door also has a cutout 112 , a gripping bar 70 and a place for seating the insert . the insert 140 rests on the depressed ledge 80 . motion of the insert towards the open part of the door 140 is prevented by the stops 85 , as in the lower door . motion of the insert up out of the ledge , or rotation of the insert out of the ledge is prevented by the rivet 130 . the upper plate of the rivet 134 is a partial disk . when it is in the closed position , as shown in fig2 c , the upper plate covers the edge of the insert , so that it is locked into place on the depressed seating ledge 80 . when it is open , the insert may be removed . the upper plate has three sockets 132 which may accept prongs from an insertion and removal tool , in order to rotate the rivet . a lower plate of the rivet 136 is similar to the upper plate 134 and also helps hold the insert . lower plate 136 may be seen in fig1 a . fig2 d shows a side view of the two rotating doors 110 , 120 , with the inserts 140 , 150 in place , and the rivets in the closed position . when the rotating doors 110 , 120 are rotated , the inserts are pushed toward each other by their corresponding doors . fig2 e shows the two rotating doors 110 , 120 overlayed , with the inserts locked in place by the rivets 130 . fig2 f also shows the two rotating doors overlayed , with the inserts removed and the doors opened to their maximum aperture . fig2 g shows both top and side views of the two inserts 140 and 150 . the head or top portion 164 of insert 150 along with the head or top portion 162 of insert 140 is seen in the side view of fig2 g . the divots in the inserts 165 , 166 accommodate the rivets . when the rivets are rotated into the closed position , the tails of the inserts 160 fit between the head of the rivet 134 and the seating depression in the rotating door 80 . when the inserts are in place , their grip bars 70 are continuous with the grip bars of the rotating doors . the tails of the inserts 160 sit in recessed ledges 80 in the rotating doors . fig3 a - 3f show alternative embodiments of the grip bars 70 , with greater contact between the grip bars and the probe compared to the embodiment shown in previous figures . only views from above are shown . in fig3 a , the grip bars are scalloped to conform to the shape of the probe , and the spacing between scallops is less than the diameter of the probe , allowing many prospective positions where the probe could be placed . in fig3 b , the grip bars are also scalloped , but with a shape complementary to the shape in fig3 a . this shape generates as many prospective positions as the shape in fig3 a , but instead of apposing the probe with conforming surfaces , this shape contacts the probe at 4 points , compared to two points in the embodiment shown in the other figures . in fig3 c , the grip bars completely surround the probe , generating fewer prospective fixation positions compared to the embodiments of fig3 a - 3b . in fig3 d , thin flanges or resilient fingers protrude from the grip bars , such that the flanges from one grip bar are out of phase or alternate with the flanges from the other grip bar . fig3 e - 3f are similar to the embodiment of fig3 d , except that the flanges on opposite grip bars are in phase with one another so that they oppose each other , rather than the out of phase or alternating pattern seen in fig3 d . fig3 e has longer flanges , while fig3 f has shorter flanges . these different embodiments illustrate examples of how the contact area of the grip bar with the probe may be increased compared to the embodiments shown in the other figures . fig4 a - 4f show alternative embodiments of the grip bars 70 , with one or both grip bars attached directly to the rotating door 110 , 120 , without an insert or the possibility of removing a portion of the grip bar 70 . in fig4 a - 4d , the grip bars are centered on a plane between the rotating doors , as in fig2 d , while in fig4 e and 4f , the grip bars 70 are centered in the planes of their respective rotating doors . when the grip bars are centered on a plane between the rotating doors , they do not transmit a bending moment to a probe inserted parallel to the axis of the cylindrical anchor body , while the embodiment in fig4 e - 4f the grip bars could potentially transmit a bending moment to such a probe . fig4 a - 4b show an embodiment with an upper rotating door 110 similar to the embodiments shown in fig2 a - 2g , while the lower rotating door has no insert , and its grip bar is one continuous member . fig4 a shows the rotating doors in position to grip the probe , while fig4 b shows the rotating doors opened to their maximum aperture . the maximum aperture of this embodiment is nearly the same as the maximum aperture illustrated in fig2 f , except near the center of the cylinder . fig4 c - 4d , show an embodiment in which neither rotating door has an insert , and both grip bars are single , continuous members . fig4 c shows the rotating doors in position to grip the probe , while fig4 d shows the rotating doors opened to their maximum aperture . in this embodiment , the maximum aperture is smaller than in the embodiments of fig2 a - 2g and fig4 a - 4b . fig4 e - 4f show an embodiment in which neither rotating door has an insert , and both grip bars 70 are single , continuous members , as in fig4 c - 4d . fig4 e is a cross section view , which shows that in this embodiment the grip bars 70 are centered in the plane of their respective rotating doors . fig4 f shows that the maximum aperture of this embodiment is wider than any of the other illustrated embodiments , except near the center . in other embodiments , the grip bars could be attached directly to the rotating doors for their full length , without any inserts or rivets . it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that many other specific forms are possible . fig5 a shows a top view of the cylinder or anchor base 10 , without the rotating doors . the anchor is fixed to the cranium by screws through screw - holes 25 in radial tabs 20 . a relatively short set screw 50 inserts into a threaded hole 56 to impinge upon the upper rotating door 110 , ( not shown ) and lock it into place . a relatively long set screw 52 having a flat point 51 inserts into a threaded hole 56 to impinge upon the lower rotating door 120 , ( not shown ) and lock it into place . another relatively long set screw 54 having a cone point 55 inserts into a threaded hole 56 to impinge upon both rotating doors 110 and 120 ( not shown ) and lock them into place . in the illustrated embodiment , screws 50 and 52 have a flat tip , and impinge upon the outer upper corner of the rotating doors , while the screw 54 has an angled tip , and impinges upon the flat edge of both rotating doors . receiving sockets 40 having catches 45 are adapted to receive the cap thereby snap fitting the two components together . additionally , grooves or channels 30 radially extend outward from anchor 10 and provide a channel for holding the lead when the lead is captured between the anchor 10 and the cap . alternatively , one of the rotating doors could be held in place by a one - way ratcheting mechanism . in such an embodiment , a no - back pawl is a beam integrated with the anchor cylinder , in the plane of one of the rotating doors . the outer edge of the corresponding rotating door has the gear teeth . the pawl permits the gear teeth to pass freely in the direction which moves the grip bar 70 towards the probe , closing the door , but prevents the rotating door from opening . such an embodiment makes fixing the doors faster , as only one set screw must be tightened , yet still permits the opening between the doors to be adjusted to any angular position , multiple times if necessary . fig5 b shows a cross section view of the cap 200 . it is dome shaped . three pins 220 protrude downward , one of which is visible in this view . fig5 c shows a bottom view of the cap . the shape is a dome , truncated adjacent to pins 220 which protrude downward to snap into sockets 40 in the cylinder 10 . the dome - shaped disk is truncated adjacent to the pins so that a tool may be inserted into the socket 40 , alongside a pin 220 to facilitate removing the cap 200 when necessary . in the preferred embodiment , grooves 210 in the cap 200 increase the area of the cap 200 contacting the probe , compared to grooveless embodiments . fig5 c shows a bottom view of cap 200 highlighting grooves 210 and pins 220 . initially the probe is gripped by the rotating doors and fixed into position . the probe is then bent to lay in grooves 30 on the upper surface of the cylinder . the cap is lowered , with pins 220 sliding into sockets 40 and protrusions 225 from the pins snapping into place under catches 45 . when the cap is snapped in place , it presses upon the probe . in the preferred embodiment , grooves in the cap 210 increase the surface area of the cap in contact with the probe , increasing stability and decreasing point pressure on the probe . fig6 a shows an exemplary embodiment of an anchor base assembled with all of its components . fig6 b - 6k show the various components of the assembly in fig6 a . in fig6 a , the anchor base is composed of upper 12 and lower 14 portions . in the illustrated embodiment , radial tabs 20 are attached to the upper portion 12 of the cylinder 10 , so that the cylinder may be recessed into the craniotomy opening . in other embodiments the tabs may be attached to the lower portion 14 of the cylinder 10 . a shelf 26 , which retains the moving members within the cylinder , is integrated into the lower portion of the cylinder 14 . the upper portion 12 of the cylinder is the more massive , because it must contain the threaded holes 56 for the set screws ( seen in fig6 b ). within the cylinder the upper 110 and lower 120 rotating doors are separated by a spacer ring 16 . the upper 12 and lower 14 portions of the cylinder are attached by an adhesive . in alternative embodiments , the base could be attached by welding or other mechanism of plastic deformation , by screws or other mechanisms which will be obvious to those skilled in the art . fig6 b shows the upper 12 portion of the anchor assembly while fig6 c shows a cross - section take along line 6 c - 6 c and fig6 d shows a cross section taken along line 6 d - 6 d . fig6 e shows the upper door 110 with insert 140 and rivet 130 that is positioned in the upper 12 portion of the anchor assembly . a spacer ring 6 f is then positioned next in the anchor assembly and a cross section of ring 16 taken along line 6 g - 6 g is shown in fig6 g . next lower door 120 with rivet 130 and insert 150 is loaded into the anchor assembly . the lower 14 portion of the anchor base is seen in fig6 i . when the lower portion 14 is fastened to the upper 12 portion , the upper and lower doors 110 , 120 and spacer 16 are captured therebetween . fig6 j shows a cross section of lower portion 14 taken along line 6 j - 6 j and fig6 k shows a cross section of lower portion 14 taken along line 6 k - 6 k . fig7 a - 7b show an alternative embodiment of assembling the anchor employing a plurality of pins 17 penetrating the anchor cylinder wall , and extending beneath the lower rotating door 120 . the pins course through narrow channels 18 in the cylinder wall . together , the pins provide a support that retain the moving members within the cylinder . fig7 a shows a cross section of the anchor assembled with all of its components and fig7 b shows a bottom view of the anchor base with channels 18 . it is clear to those skilled in the art that this embodiment may be combined with the embodiments shown in fig6 a - 6i and fig8 a - 8m . in embodiment of fig6 a - 6i , the pins would provide the additional advantage of helping to retain the base of the cylinder . in the embodiment of fig5 , the pins provide further support for the moving members around the cutout that facilitates insertion of the rotating doors 28 . fig8 a - 8m show an alternative embodiment of an anchor assembly employing a different assembly method . in this embodiment , the body of the cylinder is monolithic . the bottom of the cylinder has a shelf 26 which retains the moving members . one side of the shelf is cut away 27 so that the rotating doors may be inserted from below during assembly . such an embodiment is most compatible with a cylinder body which recesses into the craniotomy , because in such embodiments the slot is not impeded by the radial attachment tabs 20 . to assemble this embodiment , the upper rotating door 110 is slid into the central chamber of the cylinder . next , the spacer 16 is inserted below the upper rotating door . finally , the lower rotating door 130 is inserted . one side of the bottom of the cylinder is cutout 28 to facilitate sliding the rotating doors and the spacer parts into the center of the cylinder . the rivets 130 may be attached to the rotating doors in sequence after each is inserted into the central chamber , or after both rotating doors have been inserted . the rotating doors may be prevented from exiting the central chamber by tilting the slot slightly , so that the final door is strained as it is inserted and then snaps into place , or by placing one or more pins in the slot opening so as to constrain the motion of the lower door to rotational motion only . alternatively , in both of these embodiments , an extended shelf may be fixed in the entry slot . fig8 a shows the anchor base that holds the upper 110 and lower 120 rotating doors . fig8 b shows a cross section of the anchor base of fig8 a taken along line 8 b - 8 b and fig8 c shows a cross section of the anchor base taken along line 8 c - 8 c . fig8 d shows the bottom of the anchor base and fig8 e shows the anchor base after upper door 110 has been inserted into the base . fig8 f shows the anchor base after both upper 110 and lower 120 doors and spacer 16 have been loaded into the anchor base . fig8 g - 8l illustrate the sequence of loading components into the anchor base during assembly and fig8 m shows the assembled anchor . fig9 a - 9c show cross section views , illustrating how set screws can be positioned in three different positions , so as to impinge on the upper rotating door 110 alone , lower rotating door 120 alone , or on both rotating doors 110 , 120 simultaneously . exemplary embodiments are shown , illustrating how the rotating doors may be fixed with standard set screws . small diameter screws , such as 0 - 80 , are appropriate for this application , because the cylinder body 10 is thin . a thin body 10 is desired so that it does not protrude much above the surface of the cranium . fig9 a shows a set screw 50 positioned to fix the upper rotating door 110 . in this embodiment , a flat set screw is used . the tip of such a screw typically has a wide flat surface orthogonal to the screw &# 39 ; s axis of symmetry , bounded by a narrow conical ring 51 . when the screw is deployed with its long axis tilted at approximately 30 degrees from horizontal , one edge of the conical ring is nearly parallel to the outer edge of the upper rotating door 110 . as the screw is tightened , the conical ring 51 impinges upon the outer edge of the upper rotating door , but away from the lower rotating door 120 . fig9 b shows a similar set screw 52 positioned to fix the lower rotating door 120 . this screw is similar to the upper door fixation screw 50 , except that it is longer . fig9 c shows a set screw 54 positioned so as to impinge upon both rotating doors 110 and 120 simultaneously . in this embodiment a cone - point set screw is illustrated . such a set screw has a wide conical ring 55 terminating at the tip of the screw , with a tip angle of approximately 118 degrees . when the screw 54 is deployed with its long axis tilted approximately 60 degrees from horizontal , it fixes both rotating doors . fig1 a - 10j show an insertion tool 300 with handle 350 for placement and removal of inserts 140 and 150 into the rotating doors 110 and 120 . fig1 a - 10f show portions of the tool 300 from several views . a side view of the tool is seen in fig1 a - 10c and the tool is seen from a top view in fig1 d - 10f . fig1 a and 10d show only the lowest portion , which interfaces directly with the insert , rotating door , and upper plate of the rivet . an orienting edge 320 at the bottom of the tool is complementary to the shape of the upper plate of the rivet 134 . tabs 310 at the bottom of the tool fit precisely into matching sockets 132 in the upper portion of the rivets . in an alternative embodiment of the tool and the top of the rotating rivet , the tabs 310 are slightly larger at their lower most position , and / or the sockets 132 are narrower at their upper most position , to facilitate a snap fit of the tool with the rivet rotor . fig1 b and 10e show a platform 340 at the base of the insertion / removal tool . the platform forms a bridge between the small features and tight tolerances of the components shown in fig1 a - 10b , and the grip or handle 350 through which the surgeon applies torque , is shown in fig1 c and 10f . in the embodiment illustrated , the grip 350 is a hexagonal post with an angled handle , which my be turned digitally or with a wrench . in other embodiments , the grip may take another form , for example , a cap screw . in another embodiment , it could be a cylindrical post , with one or a plurality of radial holes into which a lever arm can be inserted . fig1 g - 10j show how the tool mates to the upper plate of the rivet 134 and couples with an insert 150 on lower rotating door 120 . the lower portion of the tool has an angled shape 320 complementary to the edge of the upper plate of the rivet 134 , to facilitate alignment of the tool with the rivet , and to apply torque to the rivet as the tool is rotated . for fine positioning and additional torque , the tool has tabs 310 which insert into matching divots in the upper plate of the rivet 132 . a curved pin 335 holds an insert 140 or 150 in position next to the tool 300 while the insert is placed into or removed from a rotating door 110 or 120 . a bulge 330 is provided for mounting the pin 335 . this mounting bulge 330 is positioned so that it does not impinge upon the upper portion of the insert 140 as the tool is rotated . fig1 a - 11d show the tool and insert through the cycle of positioning , attachment and detachment . in fig1 a , two insertion tools are above the anchor , and the inserts are seated in the rotating doors , retained by the rivets . in fig1 b , the tools are lowered to a position adjacent to the upper portion of the rivets 134 and the inserts 140 and 150 . the inserts are seated in the rotating doors , retained by the rivets . in fig1 c , the tools have been rotated as indicated by the double headed arrows , so that the holding pins retain the inserts to the bottom of the insertion tools . the rivets no longer retain inserts . in fig1 d , the inserts 140 and 150 are retained against the insertion tools by the holding pins 335 and lifted away from the rotating doors . the lower surface of the insertion tool fits into divots 165 and 166 , ( not shown ) in the inserts , so that the insert has a definite position relative to the insertion tool . the rotating doors and rivets lie below the tool as the tool is lifted away . fig1 a - 12c show an exemplary embodiment of the rotating doors adapted for intraoperative assembly . in fig1 a the rotating doors 110 and 120 have gaps 71 positioned so that they can be passed around an indwelling medical lead and placed in a receiving anchor base . the gaps 71 may be positioned as in fig1 b , so that the doors may be passed around the lead in a single movement . intraoperative handling is facilitated by holes 74 in the doors . once inserted into the receiving base , the doors can be rotated as in fig1 c in order to grip the medical lead . a snap mechanism can operate whereby a protrusion or detent from one door 73 lodges into a cavity 72 on the other , so as to maintain the doors in apposition against the lead . fig1 a - 13c show exemplary embodiments of the anchor base 10 and cap 200 adapted for intraoperative assembly with doors such as shown in fig1 a - 12c . in the exemplary embodiment of fig1 c , base 10 has two tabs 20 for attachment to the cranium , but the number of tabs may be modified as required . the doors pass around the lead , and they are placed so that the lower door rests upon a shelf 26 , and the upper door rests upon the lower door . a retaining member , such as those illustrated in fig1 a - 14e may optionally be inserted interfacing with an annular groove 41 in such a way as to partially occlude the lumen of the base 10 and prevent removal of the rotating doors . two embodiments of the cap 200 are shown in fig1 a and 13b , with pins 220 placed so that the cap 200 can be attached to the base 10 by protrusions 225 from the pins 220 into the annular groove 41 . in the embodiment of fig1 b , cavities 226 are placed in the cap 200 , so as to extend the effective length of the pins 220 and control the strain of the pin and mating forces , as will be familiar to those skilled in the art . the annular groove 41 can also be a point of attachment for additional instruments used intraoperatively such as a positioning guide or other reference instruments often used during neurosurgery . the retaining member may similarly be modified to permit attachment of other instruments used intraoperatively . the base 10 and cap 200 could optionally have features to force a particular alignment of the cap and base . for example , a pin may extend from the cap and seat in a groove on the base . fig1 a - 14e show several exemplary embodiments of a retaining member which may be placed intraoperatively , so as to hold or retain the doors within the base . all of these embodiments include a hole feature to facilitate manipulation of the member . one embodiment 400 is a conventional retaining ring , as will be well familiar to those skilled in the art and this is seen in fig1 a . in fig1 b , retaining member 410 includes a member 415 to increase the security of placement of the retention member . additional security may be desirable if mounting features for a cap or intraoperative instruments are added to the retention feature . in fig1 c , the retaining member 420 occupies half , more or less , of the annular groove , so as to generate less interference with a medical lead placed in the lumen of the base . in fig1 d and 14 e the ends of retaining members 430 and 440 interface with a groove , such as 41 of fig1 c , but the body of these retaining members cross through the lumen of the base . such disposition of the body of the retaining member keeps the groove free to accept other attachments . retaining member 430 passes straight across , while retaining member 440 curves away from the center , so that it is clear of the center during placement . the depictions of retaining members 430 and 440 also include material 450 above the plane of the annular groove . such material may be arranged so as to strengthen or stiffen the retaining member , or to interface with other parts . fig1 a - 15d show an embodiment where retaining member 460 has pins 220 extending in such a way that they could snap into the cap 200 and thereby attach it to the base 10 . fig1 a is a perspective view of the anchor base 10 with retaining member 460 and cap 200 assembled together . fig1 b shows cap 200 and fig1 c shows the retaining member 460 . anchor base 10 is seen in fig1 d . fig1 is a perspective view of anchor base 10 with the doors 110 and 120 and retaining member 440 assembled together . the retaining member 440 seats into an annular groove 41 , but its body is within the center of the base , leaving much of the groove 41 clear . while the exemplary embodiments have been described in some detail for clarity of understanding and by way of example , a variety of additional modifications , adaptations and changes may be clear to those of skill in the art . hence , the scope of the present invention is limited solely by the appended claims .
