          Appeal No. 1998-0080                                                        
          Application No. 08/177,763                                                  


          argued by appellants, however, even the improper modification               
          of the admitted prior art by the teachings of Schmidt would                 
          not result in the invention of claim 1.                                     























          In summary, we do not sustain the examiner’s rejection                      
          of claims 1-7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based on the admitted                   
          prior art and Schmidt.  Therefore, the decision of the                      
          examiner rejecting claims 1-7 is reversed.                                  


                                          9
