          Appeal No. 95-2405                                                          
          Application No. 07/969,663                                                  

          deemed unpersuasive, for the reasons supra, this argument, too,             
          is unpersuasive.                                                            
               While we understand appellant’s disclosed invention to                 
          differ somewhat from that disclosed by the applied references,              
          and we do not say that the subject matter of instant claim 8                
          cannot be distinguished from the prior art as represented by                
          Stevenson and Roeser, we simply note that appellant has not so              
          distinguished the claim language.  Further, appellant does not              
          take issue with the appropriateness of the examiner’s combination           
          of the references and motivation therefor.                                  
               We have responded to all of appellant’s arguments.                     
          Arguments not made are waived.  In re Kroekel, 803 F.2d 705, 709,           
          231 USPQ 640, 642-43 (Fed. Cir. 1986).  Accordingly, since                  
          appellant has failed to convince us of any error in the                     
          examiner’s rejection of claims 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9 under                       
          35 U.S.C. '  103, we will sustain the rejection.                            
               The decision of the examiner is affirmed.                              










               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    


                                          6
