          Appeal No. 96-4085                                                          
          Application 08/341,837                                                      



                    We have additionally reviewed the teachings of Pruden             
          and Hull applied by the examiner against dependent claims 13, 19            
          and 20.  However, we find nothing in these references which would           
          supply that which we have found lacking in the basic combination            
          of Johnson and Ciolino.  Accordingly, the rejections of claims              
          13, 19 and 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 will also not be sustained.             





                    The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 2, 4,               
          8 through 13, 19 through 23 and 28 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is                 
          reversed.
