(effectively filed Mar. 11,

received February 26, 1996), answer (paper no. 34, mailed Oct.
2, 1995) and supplemental answer (paper no. 42, mailed July

OPINION
After a careful review of the evidence before us, we
will not sustain the rejection of claims 1 through 6, 8
through 15 and 18 through 22 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
2This was originally a provisional 35 U.S.C. § 103
rejection over application serial no. 08/424,825, which
subsequently became Serial No. 08/606,230, which subsequently
became serial no. 08/796,833 which matured into U. S. Patent
No. 5,703,930 Miska et al.
