                    This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. §134 from the examiner’s refusal to allow                        
              claims 8-20.  We affirm the rejection of claims 8-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) over Schambil,             
              CA 1,334,458.  We reverse all other examiner rejections that were made in the Examiner’s                 
              Answer (Paper No. 13).

              PCT Application PCT/EP98/00279, filed January 20, 1998 which itself claims benefit of German
