                  Application No. 08/232,947                                                                                                              


                           Since all the limitations of independent claim 1 are neither taught nor suggested by                                           
                  the applied prior art, we cannot sustain the Examiner's rejection of appealed claims 2-5                                                
                  which depends therefrom, under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                                                         
                                                                  CONCLUSION                                                                              

                           To summarize, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-5 under 35 U.S.C. §                                              
                  103 is reversed.  The decision of the Examiner is reversed.
