                        The appeal is from a decision of a primary examiner rejecting claims 1–6 and                                      
                16–23.  Claims 7–15 have been withdrawn from consideration and are not on appeal.                                         
                We affirm in part.                                                                                                        





                        1  Application for patent filed December 6, 1995.  Appellant claim the benefit of priority under 35

                real party in interest is STMicroelectronics, S.A., of France.  (Brief at 1.)
