          Appeal No. 96-3441                                                          
          Application 08/137,868                                                      


               Nor shall we sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection            
          of dependent claims 3 and 4 as being unpatentable over Field in             
          view of Tajima, and further in view of Stubbins.  In short,                 
          Stubbins does not cure the foregoing deficiency of the basic                
          Field-Tajima combination with respect to the subject matter                 
          recited in parent claim 9.                                                  
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
