          Appeal No. 2001-1504                                                        
          Application 08/618,263                                                      


          matter recited in claim 16 and the prior art are such that the              
          subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time               
          the invention was made to a person having ordinary skill in                 
          the art.  Accordingly, we shall sustain the standing 35 U.S.C.              
          § 103(a) rejections of claim 16 and claims 19 and 20 which                  
          depend therefrom.                                                           














                                      SUMMARY                                         
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 16, 19 and               
          20 is affirmed.                                                             


                                      AFFIRMED                                        





                                          14
