              Appeal No. 1999-0695                                                                      Page 8                
              Application No. 08/427,018                                                                                      


              the AAPA in view of Benson.  We have reviewed the additional teachings of Weiss, Bowen                          
              and Winter but find nothing therein which overcomes the above-noted deficiency of the                           
              combination of the AAPA and Benson.  Accordingly, we also shall not sustain the examiner's                      
              35 U.S.C. § 103 rejections of claims 6 and 7 as being unpatentable over the AAPA in view of                     
              Benson, Weiss and Bowen and claims 8, 10-12 and 21 as being unpatentable over the AAPA                          
              in view of Benson and Winter.                                                                                   
                                                      CONCLUSION                                                              
                      To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 4-12 and 21 under 35                        
              U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
