          Appeal No. 1998-0045                                                        
          Application 08/699,135                                                      



          obviousness.  Therefore, we are constrained to reverse the                  
          rejection of claims 1 through 8 and 12.                                     
                    With respect to claims 9 through 11 and 13, the                   
          reference patent to Plante does not alleviate the shortcomings              
          of the basic references discussed above.  The rejection of                  
          these claims is also reversed.                                              
                                      REVERSED
