          Appeal No. 1998-1610                                                        
          Application No. 08/551,319                                                  


          will not sustain the standing                                               
          35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of these claims.                                  
                    Claims 13, 14, 16 and 17 are dependent, directly or               
          indirectly, on claim 8.  Hargest, Saviez or Padjen is used in               
          addition to Thorn and Spann to reject one or more of claims                 
          13, 14, 16 and 17.  Like Hargest and Saviez discussed above,                
          Padjen fails to supply the deficiencies in Spann previously                 
          noted.  Accordingly, we will not sustain the standing 35                    
          U.S.C. § 103 rejections of these claims.                                    







                    In summary, all of the examiner's rejections of                   
          claims 1 through 17 are reversed.                                           


                                      REVERSED
