Ex parte LEWIS et al. - Page 7




          Appeal No. 95-2638                                                          
          Application 08/022,174                                                      


          the teachings of Lewis and Bevan, is insufficient to arrive at              
          the claimed subject matter.  Accordingly, the rejection under               
          35 USC § 103  is also reversed.                                             

          Conclusion                                                                  
               In conclusion, for the reasons set forth in the body of                
          this opinion, we do not sustain the rejection of claims 1                   
          through 5 under 35 USC § 102(b) as anticipated by Lioutas.                  
          Nor do we                                                                   




          sustain the rejection of claims 1 through 9 and 14 through 17               
          under 35 USC § 103 as unpatentable over the combined                        
          disclosures of Lioutas, Lewis, and Bevan.                                   
               The examiner's decision is reversed.                                   
                                      REVERSED
