          Appeal No. 95-4589                                                          
          Application 08/042,888                                                      


          disclosure we can think of no cogent reason why one of                      
          ordinary skill in this art would have been motivated to single              
          out the disparate teachings of Turner and combine them with                 
          McComb in the manner proposed by the examiner.  Accordingly,                
          we will not sustain the rejection of claims 9, 10 and 17 based              
          on the combined teachings of McComb, Forrest, Swanson and                   
          Turner.                                                                     
               In summary:                                                            
               The rejection of claim 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second                
          paragraph, is reversed.                                                     
               The rejections of 1-8, 11-16 and 18-20 under 35 U.S.C. §               
          103 are affirmed.                                                           
               The rejection of claims 9, 10 and 17 under 35 U.S.C. §                 
          103 is reversed.                                                            
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).                                                                 
                                  AFFIRMED-IN-PART                                    





                                          17
