          Appeal No. 96-1842                                                          
          Application 08/193,356                                                      


          obviousness of independent claims 1, 5 and 9.  Accordingly,                 
          the rejection of claims 1-11 as unpatentable over the                       
          teachings of Berry is not sustained.                                        
          In conclusion, we have not sustained either of the                          
          examiner’s rejections of the claims.  Therefore, the decision               
          of the examiner rejecting claims 1-11 is reversed.
