          Appeal No. 1999-2058                                                        
          Application 08/433,643                                                      

          the Examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of                  
          obviousness as to claim 10.  The rejection of claim 10 is                   
          reversed.                                                                   

                NEW GROUND OF REJECTION PURSUANT TO 37 CFR § 1.196(b)                 
               Claims 4, 7, and 10 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,                
          fourth paragraph, because claim 4 fails to further limit the                
          subject matter of claims 1 and 2.  Claim 4 essentially repeats              
          the limitations of claim 1 without adding any further                       
          limitations.  Claims 7 and 10 fall with claim 4.
