          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the main brief  and the answer1                              
          for the respective details thereof.                                         
                                       OPINION                                        
               We have carefully considered the subject matter on                     
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the                     
          evidence of anticipation and obviousness relied upon by the                 
          examiner as support for the rejections.  We have, likewise,                 

               1Appellants filed a reply brief on April 3, 1997 which                 
          was denied entry by the examiner.  Accordingly, we have not                 
          considered this reply brief in the preparation of this                      
          decision.                                                                   
                                          4
