          Appeal No. 1999-2028                                                        
          Application No. 08/769,036                                                  


          Appellants fail to address the rationale for obviousness.                   
          Again, arguments that could have been made but were not                     
          presented in the Brief are considered waived.  See 37 CFR §                 
          1.192(a).  Therefore, we will affirm the rejection of claim                 
          91.                                                                         
               Last, appellants (Brief, page 13) paraphrase the entirety              
          of claim 95 and contend that it "is not shown by the                        
          references."  Appellants do not specifically point out any                  
          deficiencies in the rejection as required by 37 CFR §                       
          1.192(c)(7).  Accordingly, we will sustain the rejection of                 
          claim 95.                                                                   
               In summary, we have sustained the rejection of claims 67,              
          68, 71, 73 through 82, 88, 90 through 93, and 95 and have not               
          sustained the rejection of claims 69 and 89 based on                        
          Braitberg.  Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting               
          claims 67 through 69, 71, 73 through 82, 88 through 93, and 95              
          is affirmed-in-part.                                                        
               We make the following new ground of rejection under                    
          37 CFR § 1.196(b).  Claims 67 through 69, 71, 73 through 82,                
          and 88 through 93 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second                
          paragraph, as being indefinite.  In claim 67, line 7, the                   
                                         10
