          Application No. 08/684,635                                                  


          do not sustain the obviousness of independent claims 21, 27                 
          and 35 over Smith and Southland.  The dependent claims 2 to                 
          10, 15 to 18, 20, 22 to 26, 28 to 31 and 33 also fall with the              
          respective independent claims.                                              
               In conclusion, the decision of the examiner rejecting

          § 103 over Smith in view of Southland is reversed.
