          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for the

          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal,                  
          the rejections advanced by the examiner and the evidence of                 
          obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the                  
          rejections.  We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into                     
          consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’
