          Appeal No. 97-1625                                                          
          Application No. 08/415,900                                                  


          with respect to the subject matter of independent claims 8 and 25           
          and, it follows, dependent claims 9-11, 23, 24 and 26-28.  We               
          will not sustain this rejection.                                            
               The teachings of Gates do not cure this deficiency, and                
          therefore we also will not sustain the rejection of dependent               
          claims 12 and 29-31.                                                        
               Neither of the rejections is sustained.                                
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.                              
























                                          6
