          Appeal No. 1998-2096                                                        
          Application No. 08/586,966                                                  


          re GPAC Inc, 57 F.3d 1573, 1582, 35 USPQ2d 1116, 1123 (Fed.                 
          Cir. 1995) and In re Warner, supra.                                         
               In light of the foregoing, we will not sustain the                     
          standing 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of independent claims 20                 
          and 23 and dependent claims 21, 24, 25 and 31 through 35.                   
               We have also reviewed the Habib reference applied along                
          with Chandler by the examiner against dependent claims 22 and               
          26 through 28.  However, we find nothing in Habib which makes               
          up for the deficiencies of Chandler discussed above regarding               
          claims 20 and 23.                                                           
               Accordingly, we will also not sustain the standing 35                  
          U.S.C. § 103 rejection of dependent claims 22 and 26 through                
          28.                                                                         














                                          11
