          Appeal No. 1999-0166                                                        
          Application No. 08/656,544                                                  


               Accordingly, since we are of the opinion that the prior                                                                     
          art applied by the Examiner does not support the obviousness                
          rejection, we do not sustain the rejection of independent                   
          claim                                                                       
          1 and 9, nor of claims 3-8 dependent thereon.  Therefore, the               
          decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1 and 3-9 under                   
          35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                                                


                                      REVERSED
