            Appeal No. 1999-1789                                                      
            Application No. 08/920,652                                                

                 Accordingly, since we are of the opinion that the                    
            prior art applied by the Examiner does not support the                    
            obviousness rejection, we do not sustain the rejection of                 
            independent claims 15, 20, and 21, nor of claims 16-19                    
            dependent thereon.  Therefore, the Examiner’s decision                    
            rejecting claims 15-21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                 

                                      REVERSED
