          Appeal No. 1999-0243                                                        
          Application 08/434,457                                                      

               In regard to independent claims 64 and 67, we note that                
          these claims contain substantially the same dispositive                     
          limitations discussed above in regard to independent claim 63.              
          Since the Examiner's rejection is the same for these claims, the            
          rejection of these claims falls with the rejection of claim 63.             
               Therefore, we will not sustain the rejections of claims 63,            
          64 and 67-74 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over               
          Greenberg in view of Hikita.                                                
               Accordingly, the Examiner's decision is reversed.                      
                                     REVERSED
