          Appeal No. 97-0609                                                          
          Application 08/480,106                                                      





















               As a final matter, in view of the fact that the present                
          application appears to be a voluntarily filed continuation of the           
          parent application noted in footnote 2 earlier in this opinion,             
          and since the present independent claims are variations of the              
          subject matter of correspondingly numbered claims in that                   
          application, we further remand this application to the examiner             
          for consideration on the record of the propriety of an                      
          obviousness-type double patenting rejection among the various               
          claims in the two pending appeals.                                          
                                REVERSED and REMANDED                                 

                                          6
