          Appeal No. 96-1726                                                          
          Application 08/146,498                                                      



          For the above reason, we cannot support the rejection of appel-             
          lant’s claims 1 and 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 and the dependent               
          claims which stand therewith.  The Krzewinski reference does not            
          overcome the deficiency in the evidence of obviousness discussed            
          above.                                                                      
                    In summary, this panel of the board has:                          
                    reversed the rejection of claims 1 through 3, 7, 8, 10,           
          and 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Tames in            
          view of Holt and Schwarze; and                                              


                    reversed the rejection of claims 4 through 6, 9, and 10           
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Tames in view of           
          Holt, Schwarze, and Krzewinski.                                             
                    The decision of the examiner is reversed.                         
                                      REVERSED
