          Appeal No. 96-2455                                                          
          Application 08/223,323                                                      



          and Horn, even if one of ordinary skill in the art were to                  


          combine the teachings of Horn with those of the references                  
          applied above, the deficiencies in the teachings of Schenz,                 
          Nail and Gemy, as noted above would not be overcome.                        
          Accordingly, the examiner's rejection of dependent claim 8                  
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 will also not be sustained.                           


                    As is apparent from the foregoing, the decision of                
          the examiner rejecting claims 1 through 12, 18 through 21 and               
          24 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                                       


                                      REVERSED
