               Appeal No. 95-3759                                                                                                  
               Application 08/145,118                                                                                              

               separation step could only have come from appellants' disclosure.  It did not flow from the teachings               
               of Laing.  The Ong I and Ong II references do not make up for the deficiencies of Laing.                            
               Accordingly, the examiner’s rejections of claims 1-10 and 12-22 over Laing and the combined                         
               teachings of Laing, Ong I and Ong II cannot be sustained.                                                           
                       For the aforementioned reasons,  the examiner’s rejections of claims 1-10 and 12-22 are                     
               reversed.                                                                                                           


                                                          REVERSED
