          Appeal No. 1997-1604                                                        
          Application No. 08/273,688                                                  


          nor the corresponding rejections of claims 15 through 18 over               
          Mallya alone.                                                               
               Finally, the Section 103 rejection of claim 17 over                    
          Krijnen also cannot be sustained.  This reference, like                     
          Mallya, contains no teaching or suggestion of the specific                  
          method defined by appealed claim 17 including step b thereof.               
               The decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.
