          Appeal No. 1998-2095                                                        
          Application No. 08/460,311                                                  


          not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims                
          40    and 41.                                                               

                              The rejection of claim 32                               
               Claim 32 is dependent on claim 31, which, in turn, is                  
          dependent on claim 30.  Our review of the Kwan-Gett reference,              
          which is used in combination with Lazarus and Barone in the                 
          rejection of claim 32, indicates to us that this reference                  
          does not supply the deficiencies in the combined teachings of               
          Lazarus and Barone noted above with regard to claim 30 on                   
          appeal.  Accordingly, the examiner’s rejection of claim 32                  
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 will not be sustained.                                





               In summary, all of the examiner's rejections of claims 30              
          through 41 are reversed.                                                    


                                      REVERSED                                        





                                          13
