          Appeal No. 95-1296                                                          
          Application 08/073,257                                                      


          relationship between these values and the tolerance value are not           
          suggested by Fitzgerald for the same reasons discussed above with           
          respect to the linking step.  Therefore, we do not sustain the              
          rejection of claims 21, 16 and 22-26.                                       
          With respect to independent claim 29, the same linking                      
          features as discussed above are recited.  Therefore, we also do             
          not sustain the rejection of claims 29-33.                                  
          In summary, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims                   
          10, 12-16, 21-26 and 29-33 is reversed.
