          Appeal No. 97-1019                                                          
          Application 08/063,463                                                      


          § 103 as being unpatentable over Stephens in view of Weissenbach            
          and Propst.                                                                 
               Turning to the rejection of claims 27-31 and 58-68 under 35            
          U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Stephens in view of                 
          Weissenbach, Propst and either Augis or Jorgensen, we have                  
          carefully reviewed the references to Augis and Jorgensen but find           
          nothing therein which would overcome the deficiencies we have               
          noted above with respect to Stephens, Weissenbach and Propst.               
          This being the case, we will not sustain the rejection of claims            
          27-31 and 58-68 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based on these references.            







               The examiner’s rejections of the appealed claims are                   
          reversed.                                                                   
                                      REVERSED
