               The examiner has enter two rejections.

          3,755,147 (1973).                                                            
               Upon consideration of the brief on appeal and the                       
          examiner’s answer, it is                                                     
               ORDERED that the rejection is reversed essentially for                  
          the reasons given in Section A and Section B, parts 1 and 2 of               
          our opinion in Ex parte Chang, Appeal 96-0460 (Bd. Pat. App. &               
          Int. Feb. 3, 1999) (paper 22) (copy attached)                                
                                         II.                                           
               Claims 1-34 have been rejected for obviousness type                     
          double patenting in view of the claims in the application                    
          08/169,107.                                                                  
               The rejection is dismissed because the application                      
          08/169,107 is now abandoned.
