          Appeal No. 96-1659                                                          
          Application 08/166,931                                                      


          and 68 depend from one of these independent claims, we also do              
          not sustain the rejection of these dependent claims.                        
          In conclusion, the rejection of claims 35-49, 53 and                        
          55-68 under the second paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112 is not                  
          sustained.  The rejection of claims 35-68 under 35 U.S.C. §                 
          103 is sustained with respect to claims 50 and 52-54 but is                 
          not sustained with respect to claims 35-49, 51 and 55-68.                   
          Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 35-68              
          is affirmed-in-part.
