          Application No. 08/452,064                                                  


          which were articulated in the prior decision.  Neither                      
          Browning nor Gaku are directed to an acoustic vibrational                   
          material, let alone the more specific speaker diaphragm of the              
          presently claimed invention.                                                
               The examiner's decision rejecting the appealed claims is               
          reversed.
