          Appeal No. 2001-0164                                                        
          Application No. 08/885,379                                                  


               We next turn to the rejections of dependent claims 2-9 also            
          rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as being anticipated by                      
          Bealkowski.  Since we cannot sustain the rejection of independent           
          claim 1, we also cannot sustain the rejection of dependent claims           
          2-9.                                                                        
               In conclusion, we reverse the rejection of claims 1-9 under            
          35 U.S.C. § 102.
