          Appeal No. 95-4866                                                          
          Application 08/179,770                                                      


               Rossetti discloses an apparatus for making cast polymer                
          sheets (col. 1, lines 11-13).  The apparatus includes a                     
          housing having therein a number of hollow metal plates which                
          are in a substantially vertical, parallel orientation and are               
          laterally moveable (col. 2, lines 32-41; col. 4, line 64 -                  
          col. 5, line 10).  Each pair of hollow metal plates has                     
          therebetween a pair of glass plates, wherein each glass plate               
          is detachably attached to a surface of a hollow metal plate                 
          (col. 2, lines 45-51; col. 5, lines 11-16).  The hollow metal               
          plates have spacers to facilitate adjustment of the distance                
          to the next metal plate and thereby adjust the distance                     
          between the glass plates (col. 3, lines 9-12; col. 6, lines                 
          55-58).  After the spacers have been adjusted and casting                   
          liquid pored into the glass molds, the entire assembly is                   
          pushed together in the manner of a filter press (col. 3, lines              
          13-17; col. 6, line 55 - col. 7, line 15).  During                          
          polymerization, fluid flows through the hollow metal plates to              
          maintain a uniform temperature distribution (col. 3, lines 28-              
          36).                                                                        
               SOMECAL discloses a molding apparatus for making concrete              
          beams, which includes a number of vertical walls which move                 
                                          7
