          Appeal No. 94-2716                                                          
          Application 07/764,775                                                      


          use@-type language, but does positively recite in the last clause           
          of claim 1 two functional properties attributable to the slender            
          members.                                                                    
               Since we did not sustain the rejection of independent claim            
          1 under 35 U.S.C. '  102, we must also reverse the rejection of             
          its dependent claims 2 to 9.  Therefore, the decision of the                
          examiner is reversed.                                                       
                                      REVERSED
