          Appeal No. 97-1002                                                          
          Application 08/014,379                                                      


          art.  Accordingly, we do not sustain this rejection of claims 4,            
          5 and 14-17.                                                                
                        5. The rejection of claims 18 and 19 as                      
                         unpatentable over Zisa, Melanson, Dell                       
                         Orfano, Brady and Rozanski.                                  
          This rejection is just like the second rejection                            
          discussed above except that Dell Orfano is again added to the               
          combination of patents used to reject these claims.  For the same           
          reasons we have just discussed, Dell Orfano does not overcome the           
          deficiencies previously noted in the rejection of claims 18 and             
          19.  Therefore, we also do not sustain this rejection of claims             
          18 and 19.                                                                  








          In summary, we have not sustained any of the examiner’s                     
          rejections of the claims on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of             
          the examiner rejecting claims 4, 5 and 14-21 is reversed.                   
          REVERSED                                                                    




                                          12
