          35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.  However, the decision to                   
          reject claims 1, 2, 7 and 8 under the judicially created                    
          doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting as being                      
          unpatentable over claims 1 and 5 of U.S. Patent No. 5,620,351               
          is affirmed. Accordingly, the decision of the examiner is                   
          affirmed-in-part.                                                           





               No period For taking any subsequent action in connection               
          with this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).
