OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on
appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the
evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support
for the rejections. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken

except for the original reply brief which was denied entry by
the examiner. The examiner’s decision to deny entry of this
reply brief was upheld after appellant filed a petition to the
Commissioner to have the reply brief entered [Decision mailed
June 5, 1996].
