          Appeal No. 2000-1333                                                        
          Application No. 08/691,988                                                  


          depend therefrom, as being unpatentable over Adrian in view of              
          Hubble.                                                                     
               Furthermore, inasmuch as Woolard does not overcome the                 
          foregoing flaw in the basic Adrian-Hubble combination, we                   
          shall not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of                 
          claim 5, which depends from claim 4, as being unpatentable                  
          over Adrian in view of Hubble and Woolard.                                  
                                      SUMMARY                                         
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 and 3                  
          through 5 is reversed.
