          Appeal No. 1998-0908                                                        
          Application No. 08/506,292                                                  

               Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellants and the              
          Examiner, reference is made to the Brief (Paper No. 15) and                 
          Answer (Paper No. 16) for the respective details thereof.                   
                                       OPINION                                        
               We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal,                                                                     
          the rejections advanced by the Examiner, the arguments in support           
          of the rejections and the evidence of anticipation and                      
          obviousness relied upon by the Examiner as support for the prior            
          art rejections.  We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into                 
          consideration, in reaching our decision, Appellants’ arguments              
          set forth in the Brief along with the Examiner’s rationale in               
          support of the rejections and arguments in rebuttal set forth in            
          the Examiner’s Answer.                                                      
               It is our view, after consideration of the record before us,                                                                    
          that the disclosure in this application describes the claimed               
          invention in a manner which complies with the requirements of the           
          first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112.  We are also of the view that           
          the disclosures of King '241 or King '405 do not fully meet the
