          Appeal No. 1998-0236                                                        
          Application No. 08/472,536                                                  

               For the foregoing reasons, we will sustain the rejection               
          of claim 35.  We will also sustain the rejection of dependent               
          claims 36 through 38 since the patentability of these claims                
          has not been argued separately of claim 35.  See In re                      
          Nielson, 816 F.2d at 1572, 2 USPQ2d at 1528 and In re Burckel,              
          592 F.2d at 1178-79, 201 USPQ at 70.                                        
               In summary, we have (1) affirmed the examiner’s                        
          rejections of claims 2, 3, 5, 6, 14 though 16 and 30 though 38              
          and (2)                                                                     
          reversed the examiner’s rejections claims 1, 4, 9, 10, 17                   
          through 26, 28 and 29.  The examiner’s decision rejecting the               
          appealed claims is affirmed in part.                                        
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).                                                                 
                                  AFFIRMED-IN-PART
