          Application No. 08/773,173                                                  

          sustain the obviousness rejection of claims 18 and 27-29 over               
          Dockery in view of the admitted prior art and Emmons.                       
               In summary, we have sustained under 35 U.S.C. § 103 the                
          rejection of claims 1, 7, 10, 18, 27-35, and 40-45, while we have           
          not sustained the rejection of claims 5, 16, and 39.                        
               Accordingly, the decision of the examiner under 35 U.S.C.              
          § 103 is affirmed-in-part.
