          Appeal No. 1998-3289                                                        
          Application 08/362,167                                                      


          fall within the claimed expressions of claims 1 and 18,                     
          respectively.  A proper rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103                     
          mandates sound evidence of obviousness.                                     


               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
