          Application No. 08/217,063                                                  


          l. 67 - col. 16, l. 3.  Therefore, we affirm the rejection of               
          claim 7 as obvious.                                                         
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               In summary, the rejections of claims 1 and 3-7 under § 112,            
          ¶ 2; claims 1-7 under § 112, ¶ 1; and claims 1-6 under § 103(a)             
          are reversed.  In contrast, the rejections of claim 2 under                 
          § 112, ¶ 2 and claim 7 under § 103(a) are affirmed.  Our                    
          affirmances are based only on the arguments made in the briefs.             
          Arguments not made therein are neither before us nor at issue but           
          are considered waived.                                                      


               No time for taking any action connected with this appeal may           
          be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).
